RE: New sponsor agreement window by mastershank on 02-17-2005 at 03:02 PM
Ok well here is where your going wrong, 
Messenger Plus used to rock it used to have so so so cool features and then you messed it upa dding all your spywear and stuff
that then made it suck i used to know alot of people with Messenger Plus installed on there pc and now they just delete it as they see no use for it I have so so many ideas for messanger plus might just put my programming head on and start a new software, I am 16 years of age and i know wat young people want and I also know wat older people want, There is a comparison and you starting with nothing then trying to install spywear and messging the program up
One bad move, I am still sure many people use this software but I got alot of cool fetaure you could add, Patcho if u have msn maybee we could come ot a agreement and I would swap my ideas wiith you, Could save your software and make you a absulote fortune
my msn address is
jamie_personal_only@hotmail.com 
Hope you could add me and I hope u have msn as You cant deny you dont lol, You make a program to run along side it.
Hope to hear from you soon
a Very disssatisfied Messenger Plus user.
Jamie

Hey mastershank, you have installed the optional tool bar that is included with msg plus! please note this is adware and is easily removed. Please see http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=21598 for details of how to uninstall it. This is included in the installer as Patchou needs to earn a living and this is the best thing to use to gain money at this time.

Patchou has only included the OPTIONAL sponsor program to get a bit of money for all his hard work. He deserves it. It doesn't force you to install the extra tool bar, it gives you a clear choise at installation. If you installed it by mistake then, ok, anoying but you can't throw the blame at Messenger Plus! Don't worry as said above you can easily uninstall it.

i don't know if the install does this, as i haven't had to reinstall plus! in a while, but maybe patchou should add a message box if the user clicks accept, conferming if they want to install the sponsor, maybe it does this i can't remember, but thats my 2 cents

He wont add a messagebox because it will just scare people off.

And therefore he wouldn't get as much money, so he would have to cut back on Plus! development because he would need to find a job to support himself....etc. It's a chain reaction.

So you want him to remove the adware and make a fortune? How exactly will that work?

Once again ajd it's not spyware it's only adware.

Hahahaha, I love reading posts like these. And the "remove adware!" and "how to check if someone has blocked you" and another fav "remove the ad in msn!"
RE: [split] MsgPlus used to rock by Chestah on 02-19-2005 at 07:13 AM
in a sense its the people unhappy with plus that are providing Patchou with money and the happy people that don't install the sponsor aren't 
. But then again we are giving you the movativation! Money without motivation is just as useless as having no money

The unhappy people might provide him with money if they click on the search links that the sponsor provides. But they are the people who will uninstall the sponsor sooner or later.
RE: [split] MsgPlus used to rock by Patchou on 02-19-2005 at 09:18 AM
If every people who had installed the sponsor were that unhappy, I would have closed shop a long time ago so I'm not too much worried about that 
.

I find MASTERSHANK's argument a bit amusing ...but
... In my view alot of us like things free ...and to be honest Plus! is the best free thing I have EVER gotten off the net. It's true I just joined the Plus! forums but I have been using plus for a good while now. From what I know and have read, Patchou gives us the option to install or NOT to install the sponsor program . Personally I hate adware, but I thought by installing the sponsor I'm helping myself as much as Patchou! You see, I want to keep getting Plus! free, so I install the adware. I LOVE what Patchou has done and I SHOULD play my part in getting what I want...the BEST msn addon... FREE!!!

We should all install the sponsor once, just in order to get Patchou some more money.
