Like MSN plus, but why? by camelczek on 06-04-2004 at 05:19 AM

Why the hell did some half wit developer put all that toolbar sh1t in, its totaly unaccepable, nowhere does it warn u that version 3 is packed with crap like that. u will definetly have lost many ppl using this just because of those LAME toolbars, nothing gets me on fire as quickly as spyware.(N)(N)(N)(N)
At least verson 2.5 still has integrity.

I'm sorry, but, Ipab, please don't use those words.

camelczek, you've installed the optional sponsor program.
Plus! 3 has the same sponsor agreement window like Plus! 2.54 had :). You probably just missed that.

To remove that, follow this link: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=21598

Version 2.5 has exactly the same optional sponsor. See for yourself:

thx guys,
theres always 1 like ipab on every forum, so yes i humbly appologise for missing that option :$, and for starting my LAME thread, hehe.

And Ipab, if u read my subject it said,
I Like MSN plus....
I am a developer myself and actually have respect for ppl that make free software.
Nice work patchou, and plz accept my appologies for not seeing the option, suppose i was just too exhausted when installing.

And the /insult game rox! Btw, why is /insult not mentioned in the list of commands when u type a / in a conversation window? It's also not mentioned in msgplus.net


RE: Like MSN plus, but why? by fluffy_lobster on 06-16-2004 at 09:02 AM

It's a secret easter egg :P

It is actually listed on the list of commands and tags, but the name of the command is hidden (replaced by "easter egg 3")

I don't think it's worth it sometimes, making an easter egg at all cool, cos with a usership this size everyone wants it :P  Anyone remember sounds? :chrongue:

Patchou, a lot of people I've got to install MP!3 have removed it because they didn't 'see' the sponsor agreement.  To many people it just looks like an install agreement and they don't read it.

I think if you put a picture of the Lop.com toolbar like this shockwave installer, it would be much clearer to people what they were installing.

also when u install msn messenger 6.2 u are asked to install msn tool bar


* Stigmata wonders how many u can have :S:S:S:S :)


only tool bar i use is google :)


RE: Like MSN plus, but why? by phantom on 06-17-2004 at 09:57 PM

i think the choices should be:

- Install Messenger Plus! without the sponsor program
- Install Messenger Plus! with the sponsor program

instead of

- Install Messenger Plus! with the sponsor program
- Dont install the sponsor program

because the second choice makes people think they have to choose the top one to install Plus!


RE: Like MSN plus, but why? by saralk on 06-18-2004 at 06:04 PM

i think keeping the same wording, but having the picture there would be a good idea


RE: Like MSN plus, but why? by lopardo on 06-21-2004 at 04:02 AM

I vote for adding the picture and changing the words "accept" and "refuse", they look like you're accepting the license agreement and when you are installing 150 programs you can easily get confused.


RE: Like MSN plus, but why? by Fraisie on 06-21-2004 at 02:17 PM

It's really nice to have suggestions about the sponsor window, but it is perfect the way it is right now. Don't forget that 35% of people who install Messenger Plus! do NOT install the sponsor, so it is clear enough. :)
