The point is to promote Messenger Plus!, not to promote all the various unofficial sources where you can download Messenger Plus!.

Although, less people will stumble across Messenger Plus! now, this doesn't mean it goes against the purpose of promoting it...

(thus) No it isn't... The competition/promotion is for Messenger Plus! itself (and to download it from the official site, not for all the unofficial sources to download from.)

Yes I share the same sentiments as sjoerd_ I want to support plus! but not by having my computer full of adware......the sponsor program is a bit of overkill imho.
Then buy something from the Online Store, it's there especially for that purpose...

But i think that ethically the sponsor be removed and other revenue sources that are less intrusive to peoples computers (these are the computers of the millions of people who support msgplus!).  Im sure a variety of other revenue sources could be found.
This has been discussed so many times. No there aren't any other revenue sources to be found.... (unless you name one, and Patchou would be happy to hear about it)
