and if he is worried about what we will say, he's only made it 10 times worse by keeping everyone in the dark.

He did say he is not the owner anymore. Read his blog post. If you can't be arsed to read it in its entirety then please stop posting.

I'm going to refrain from posting in this thread again, but yeah, just be patient. There'll be an announcement.

Like he said in his blog post, he's not personally related with Plus! any more.

I think the way you phrased that is kind of misleading... he's still part of the Yuna Software team working on Plus!, but his role has changed.

thats still not 100% positive there

an saying that i think this thread should be closed before it gets out of hand, its just gonna get the general public worried if it gets out

i think we should all wait till there's something Official from Patchou or Yuna

I did read the blog post. But you are missing the point i am trying to make. Not EVERYONE knows about his blog post.

should be called Messenger Plus! 5

any possibilities of a Name change perhaps?

maybe there should be a link on this forum made of his Blog

We shouldn't have to go 'clue hunting' to find out the owner of Plus! has changed Not to mention that simply changing the footer tags to Yuna instead of Patchou doesn't indicate a sale in anyway, it is [was] his company so it'd make sense to put it at the footer.

I agree with everyone who feels a personal thread in the Announcements sub forum would indeed be highly appropriate, I thought the community was supposed to be a large aspect of Plus!? Saying he posted it on his blog has no bearing at all, all other information in the past, including things like newest updates, competitions and other stuff related to Plus!'s development etc.  has all been posted on the forum. Why? Because this is where the majority of the community here gets their information, it is not unreasonable then to expect a post explaining the issues and what is going on. [Don't bring up contractual obligations, there is absolutely no reason what so ever he could not announce the change to us and let such a 'loyal' community know what's happening to a piece of software and its creator they have come to know/love]




As a side note, I'm not on the "omg lyke its r conspiracy this r terrible" bandwagon

I get the feeling you have no clue whatsoever how businesses work. He was already under NDA when they began talking about selling it in the first place most likely. Otherwise, before signing the last contract, he would have legally been entitled to say everything about it . There are a lot more rules than you may think involved in this. But of course you wouldn't know, because you didn't see the contract. Seeing as none of us are in that position where we are meant to see the contract, there's no obligation from any of them, plus, they're busy.

Most people probably don't care who owns MP!. And those that would read an "official announcement" would probably find this thread, leading them to Patchou's blog.

I'm not taking sides here, merely mentioning the fact that if you cared at all about this topic, this thread would be pretty hard to miss.

Irrelevant. if people will find it eventually after being directed there after reading half a thread, that shouldn't be the way people find out[and certainly wouldn't be the way I'd want my 'customers' to find out about changes to my product]. There is no argument whatsoever against having an announcement on the forum ¬¬

The link is on the first page... and there will be (should be) an announcement on the forums eventually. But if you want to be kept up to speed you can find out what's happening if you look around.

But what if i have totally no idea about the change? Why would i just randomly go to patchous blog? I didn't even know patchou had a blog until this thread made.

People arn't just going to start randomly searching
