pfft thats the same as if i said "people dont like you, so you must kill yourself"

seriously, it's the only way patchou earns money.
To teach your friends to read license agreements it's a way better solution. it will help them not only with Plus! but with every program that has some kind of sponsor program.

TBH, that doesn't make any sense.

"Hmm...I don't wanna charge people so I'll make it free. I have to make money so I'll include OPTIONAL adware. They don't like the adware? I'll just remove it entirely and not make ANY money on my already free software!"



Messenger Plus! is not an application that took Patchou 5 minutes to slap together in VB, he's spent years developing it and making it as good as possible (in C++).

You guys clearly aren't listening to what I have to say.

Adware is not the answer, thats all I'm saying.

any suggestions? (good, real suggestions please. you cant live only with a couple of  ad banners in a website )

i think we should keep it, because people need to read carefully what they accept for, this is a stupid thing , it is not Patchou's problem if they dont read.

No, no. Don't try to back away now.

You said it's time to change. You are ordering Patchou to remove the sponsor in the first post. Now you say you are "just saying adware is not the answer"?

I know how it feels when your friends get all paranoid.

But we're not selling a product, I go with the truth when I recommend this add-on.

"Look, there is an optional sponsor in it. If you don't want it, just click 'I refuse'". I don't go encouraging not to install it, but I also don't lie about it and expect my friends to know about it.

In every single software you install, you must read the licenses. This is no exception.

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?

---

i've suggested this before, i can't remember why we said no

i think there should be a pop up warning, when they click accept, stating that its optional

that would be a good suggestion too.

Annoying.

The point is not to scare the users. I believe the installer is VERY clear about it. If no one wants to read, that's their problem.

Ya, Patchou said no because it would scare people.
