I was installing the Beta of Messenger Plus! and I noticed that at the beginning, it has a 'Beta Warning'. As soon as I saw that, I thought that it would be a great idea if something like that could happen when the sponsor program screen comes up, so people can't hammer the next button, choose some random option then keep hammering next. It would really force them to pay attention, and if they click ok to exit it by accident, chances are they'll read the sponsor program screen, and choose not to install it.

I personally think it would be great if it could be done

how about if Patchou removes the sponsor completelly?
nice solution eh..??

God Im genious

lol leave patchou alone.. The sponsor is great as is! We dont need to find other ways to make Patchou even Poorer.. Sigh

The point is not to make users afraid and not install it, ohterwise he could just remove the sponsor. He want's the people realize it's there so that they know that It's Optional™, not stop them from installing it.

Lol I like the ™ on 'optional', Vilkku ^_^

Well, he could at least change the sponsor to a different one. I'm just sick of people complaining about Messenger Plus' so called 'spyware', and how they ran Spybot or Ad-Aware and can no longer remove it. At least something that's a bit easier to uninstall would be nice.

Or people could just start reading the installation screens... but I have a feeling not many people are gonna do that

If you search around you will find patchou posting the rough amount of people who install MsgPlus a day
I think its something in the thousands
Then see how many complaint we get here a day
Its not that many, theres no point making patchou lose money for just a few angy people that dont read

distorted why can't you leave Patchou alone? He needs to make a living like we all do! It's people's own stupid fault for installing plus! with the sponsor anyways.

I don't know if anyone has ever noticed that when you install something from themexp.org it often contains up to 3 pieces of optional to install adware that are already ticked and ready for morons to click next...now Plus! has no option already checked, therefore if they click next (which now has a delay timer to stop you hitting next when installing). Now Patchou has done all he can do without removing the sponsor program...or find an alternative to the sponsor program. So I think any more addictions to alert you to the sponsor program are useless, all anyone wants now is an alternative to the sponsor program.

Also has anyone noticed the checked box on the msn messenger setup which installs an msn toolbar? So think is the MSG Plus! sponsor that bad? It's also really easy to get rid of it unlike other sponsor programs.

Well, OK, I guess you guys are right. Patchou needs to make a living somehow, just like all of us. Just... damn people not reading! >_<

Ah well
