Incorrect... The Plus!-setup includes (an optional) adware program and therefore it was taken off. Not because Plus! itself was adware. There is a huge difference....

He already has (much needed) ads on www.msgplus.net...

I guess those few thousand who would install it then, wouldn't make much difference anyways though...

If he cuts down in sponsor/ads, he will loose money, not making more; Those few who are going to install it then (who thought Plus! itself was a virus and malicious otherwise) aren't going to make much difference...

Go to
http://www.msgplus.net and feel free to click on every ad. Also go to the
Plus!-shop and buy stuff...

but please leave it open because it could get interesting with the ideas many people may have.
tbh, in all those years that people talked about this in this matter, nobody, not a single soul, has come up with a decent alternative...
btw, you would be estonished if you knew how much the forums, Plus!-server, sound-servers, etc... all cost in a month. A few ads here and there isn't enough to cover all the expenses though. And as you rightfully said, Patchou needs something to eat also... (once a day
)
And many people forget about all this, they think "if I can earn some few dollars with google ads to keep my website online, everybody can". In the real world, to keep the Plus! related stuff going, there need to be lots more then just a few ads...
btw, I'm not going to vote because the options aren't exactly as I like. I would vote for the second one, but _if_ there is anything better, then be sure that Patchou will change it. And I don't like the sound of option 1, as it sounds like the sponsor is all crap, unneeded, etc and just sounds like all those dorky biased narrow minded people on those anti-adware/spyware forums....
