RE: Avoid the "[MyName] says:" line
In theory you can use WriteProcessMemory.

However, in practice it is very very far from as simple as that. You must indeed reverse engineer stuff to begin with, but on top of that if you change stuff like that it can/will have big consequences for other internal things and other programs.

For example, lets say you are a top ace in reverse engineering, subclassing, etc and you can remove the 'says' in every case without screwing things up in memory, then it would still be possible that Messenger Plus! for example wont work anymore as it should since it expects the 'says' to be there, etc...

Note: 'says' is also just 1 text which can appear after the nickname, there are douzens of such texts. So to get the effect properly you also would need to change everything else.


Short advise: do not.... (especially since it will only work locally anyways; you can't change what other people see)
