Also no one is pointing out the fact that the custom sounds feature is spread across 4 servers with huge specs, and not _everyone_ uses custom sounds.
Already pointed out by Menthix, Jesus and me though. 
(yeah I know, I said I was going to sleep, sorry. But I thought of something I needed to rectify asap in some other post. And one thing lead to the other, etc... why don't I PM this? blah, who knows

A alternative is that as you may know there is a new feature in WLM called "Keep Me Signed In". It asks you for a location. If the selected location is available and online, it transfers the settings from THAT computer to the computer you just signed on (No cost at all on Plus!/Patchou's side and would just cost the bandwidth on the clients side)
That would indeed be a nice alternative.
But if this is made as a script, you might as well make a script which simply uses your own server or FTP location to store all of the settings. Thus, no need for the MPOP feature of WLM9 and thus compatible with any WLM version.
Even so, the same limits apply as I said earlier, a script can't do this properly, using MPOP or not (unless you want to restart Messenger each time after you signed in for the first time).
Even for a Plus! feature this would be hard to do, since there are settings which requires Plus! (and thus Messenger) to be restarted.
So, in practice, I don't see something like this happening anytime soon (unfortunatly, as it is a nice idea). That is in a proper way, which takes all the settings, and without the need for a restart after signing in. Unless there are some radical changes made in how Plus! loads and loads its settings.
