I just logged on today and realized that only 2 of my buddies on my maxed out contact list has MsgPlus! so I decided I might as well spread the word.

But then I remember my last unfortunate try to spread Plus!, the problem is no one trusts Plus! anymore. And it all boils down to the one final point.

The optional Adware.

I know, I know its optional, and I know, I know, theres a 3 second warning, and I know, I know it doesnt start with any option checked off anymore but its time to remove the adware.

Too many stupid people think one of two things:
1. they have to accept because its MsgPlus!'s linsence agreement. (which is quite obviously not the case)

2. They have no choice but to install spyware or else the program wont install (like may freeware programs [kazaa for one])

The second I find to be the most popular.

And the final problem is no matter what you tell them they will blame Plus!

I think because of this MsgPlus! has hit the end of the line in terms of popularity. People are willing to give up extra features in order to twart adware.

I know, I know they are just stupid but come on Patchou, the time has come.

thanx for listening,
c00ly.

(p.s. i know i can tell my friends to watch closely but there are alot "smash installers" out there)


did you know= symantec now considers adware to be a form of virus?

Well Patchou can't just remove the adware because that's his source of income

Patchou has made the installer is clear as he POSSIBLE can (a timed disclaimer AND a picture of the toolbar), so just send a screenshot of the adware installer section to your friends if they don't believe you.

And you are who to (apparently) order Patchou to remove his only way of income?

Come on! If you really care, just tell them. If they don't want to listen, they don't know what they're missing.

Patchou can earn income from putting ads on his site. Seriously the time has come to remove the adware.

edit: i'm gonna put that fact on the 1st post.

That barely produces any income (he already has an ad on his site when you download it).


Besides, how much more clear can it be than this?

Like i said, people just dont read.

And who's fault is that

read my sig do u copy, over.

I know its their fault, but the only thing we can do to stop it is to remove it.

Just think about how may Plus! users are lost because of this one minor detail.

And think seriously about what adware does.

I agree that the sponsor isn't the most noob friendly way, but there isn't really a better way.
