(/showthread.php?tid=57713) April Fools: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Patchou on 04-01-2006 at 05:01 AM
Update: This is an April fools joke. The content of this post is completely functional. Hey Everyone! We've got some exciting news for your favorite Messenger add-on! As of today, I have some new members joining my development team. Sayid Jarrah Kate Chalmers Maria Sanchez They are some of the best talent from the new Owner of Messenger Plus, That’s right, Messenger plus has been purchased by Microsoft. After getting a hold of the new Plus! Live beta they were excited about the features I was developing and they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Now to help me make this decision, We have some other great news, Another new member of the Plus! Family. Fraise and I are having a baby! We are very excited, We've been holding off on letting everyone know until I knew this deal would go through. Now I will have enough time to continue to direct and shape the development of Plus! and be a good father to my new Daughter. We've got some exciting weeks coming up and were looking forward to working with our new co-workers at Microsoft. And don’t worry, We're not going to let Microsoft destroy plus, It will continue to be the same great add-on it always has been. ~Patchou RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by ~INVASION~ on 04-01-2006 at 05:36 AM september 26 2005 is the date on the baby picture, sounds like a fool to me patch RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Joe on 04-01-2006 at 05:36 AM I Believe it all..!

Hey, RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by user27089 on 04-01-2006 at 05:54 AM I'm not sure whether to believe it or not to be honest . RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by NiteMare on 04-01-2006 at 05:56 AM
i don't know... this could be a joke, although.... i don't know what to think RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Sayid Jarrah on 04-01-2006 at 06:02 AM
Dont worry, Patchou's still a part of the team, he will be doing a part of the job, just think of it as getting new developers to fully improve Messenger Plus! RE: RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Matti on 04-01-2006 at 06:05 AM
Do I have to believe this? quote:Seems like I don't have to. quote:Another proof? Good try, patch, but I advise you next time to...
RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Mike on 04-01-2006 at 06:09 AM
Who knows, it might actually be true, because, when you try to find Sayid Jarrah's posts, you'll only see the two replys he has posted here, so he could be posting in a private forum just like he says! RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Chrono on 04-01-2006 at 06:10 AM Hm ya, he will have to change that "not affiliated with M$" part of the website . I guess he forgot about it as Plus! live will have it's own website, remember? RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by surfichris on 04-01-2006 at 06:13 AM
quote:The main site will be updated later - and mainly as the transition to a new Messenger based site too. Google launched Gmail on 1st April. Everyone thought that was a joke at the time and now what? They have Gmail. As I told the people on IRC last night, we weren't sure of announcing this today because April Fools. We didn't have much of a choice in the matter in the end though. RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by NiteMare on 04-01-2006 at 06:19 AM

If this is true anyway, does this mean that Patchou will remove the sponsor from MP!L? RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by surfichris on 04-01-2006 at 06:31 AM
The forums will be either moved to Microsoft's newsgroups (public) or their public forums. RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Chrono on 04-01-2006 at 06:32 AM
Can't you take it a bit more seriously? quote:i have to agree that if they change the name they'll have some problems, but they have the right to do it .

Live, it means that people are going to use it more simply beacause it's a Microsoft affiliate and would be trusted 100%, instead of people believing it has trojans and stuff .

If it is true, then not one person congratulated you on being a father, which is more important than plus... i think RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Mike on 04-01-2006 at 07:18 AM
Hmmm... quote:Why that? quote:Didn't got anything... Maybe I'm not selected, or the invites haven't been sent yet? RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by NiteMare on 04-01-2006 at 07:34 AM
quote:and so it begins, the depersonalization of plus... one of the main reasons i like plus so much is the community and that fact taht its NOT run by MS, that its its own site, and its own very personalized support team. you go to ms all you get is auto-e-mails, or run arounds, or new groups that are incredably hard to ready RE: RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Discrate on 04-01-2006 at 07:38 AM
quote: I agree, the whole reason i use plus! is because it has features that MS would never think of, but patchou did. RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by surfichris on 04-01-2006 at 07:41 AM
The move was made because it brings benefits for both Patchou and the users of Plus! RE: RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Discrate on 04-01-2006 at 07:46 AM
quote: I just heard how much he got and i see why he sold it. But still i dont think MS know what people want in IM's. and couldn't MS just fire patchou if they wanted to, or do they have an agreement or somthing? RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by NiteMare on 04-01-2006 at 07:46 AM
quote:but more is not always better..... the users of plus are concerned about quality not quanity you could do a 100 updates and 50 new features, but that would just bloat the program up and as for the bug tracking,i think the current bug traking is far better RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by YottabyteWizard on 04-01-2006 at 07:48 AM
I have a bad feeling, I don't have anything agains MS, but adding MS as part of the Development team... i dunno, it's just won't be the same and won't have the same objetives as the original creator/developer RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by surfichris on 04-01-2006 at 07:49 AM
quote:That information isn't public and even we don't know it. quote:But do you not feel Microsoft products are of a high quality too? They'll be able to provide the functionality in Messenger which will allow Plus! to use it without worrying about compatibility. RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by user27089 on 04-01-2006 at 07:57 AM Can nobody actually see the true benefits of this? RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by NiteMare on 04-01-2006 at 08:00 AM
quote:not really, its all a game to them. take over this(hotmail), copy this( plus features), aquire this( no Plus! live) the're products are very buggy in my opinion, and there support teams for those are practicaly not existant, apart from what i can find, or lack of finding RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Discrate on 04-01-2006 at 08:00 AM
There will be more updates and and new features, but like many people are saying MS dont know what we want, but patchou did. Now MS own msgplus, the program will be bloated and the features they put into msgplus! will be one's that know one wants or one's that know one will use. quote: I agree, more of there product support is e-mailing them and then in about 3 days time they will send you a message with infomation and help that does not actually help you. But with plus you can simply come onto the forums and get help in 3 minutes and not have to wait. The forum will still be here i hope, but the support wont be as good.

Sorry, I just have another couple of questions. RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by surfichris on 04-01-2006 at 08:17 AM
Max, RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Discrate on 04-01-2006 at 08:18 AM Also i have a question, some people are getting invites to test msgplus live. The invites were sent out today or yesterday. How did they get them if they didn't sign up or anything? RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by surfichris on 04-01-2006 at 08:19 AM
quote:Like I said, current testers will be transferred (well invited) There will be no more and there will be no invites given out too. RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Mike on 04-01-2006 at 08:23 AM
And what is gonna happen to the beta site? RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by xJ + on 04-01-2006 at 08:23 AM
i truly believe that it's totally stupid of patchou to let ms take over. A totally great program like this might just get ruin by others that didn't create plus! So what if more people can use the beta of plus! before the final release. Though most of them are keen whatsoever in testing out. RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Sayid Jarrah on 04-01-2006 at 08:25 AM
The beta site will be replaced by Microsoft Connect. quote:It's going to take us a while to get everyone transitioned over. We'll be trying to associate as many people on the testing site with their Connect account details assuming they're using the same address. RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by John Anderton on 04-01-2006 at 08:25 AM
I cant wait to get our plus via connect. im waiting for my invites quote:But im using a different address there. I use my hotmail to access connect and my gmail to access the plus beta RE: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by M73A on 04-01-2006 at 08:26 AM seeing as its moving. can new people apply for testing?

quote:As I believe Chris answered previously, we won't be taking on any additional testers for Messenger Plus! Live. Future version releases will be tested and when that happens we'll be using the same testers as Windows Live Messenger (Beta Butterflies). We'll also be introducing new testers in at that time.

Just a simple math would have revealed this news was fishy (no offence, fishy ) ---------- PS: Sayid Jarrah is indeed a character in the TV series Lost Kate Chalmers is an actrice who has played in the TV series of "Law of the Land" Maria Sanchez is a pro tennis player ---------- Other reasons why this is a april fools joke aren't that solid or no proof at all: eg: problems with the voting system or online/offline system might well be possible for new added members inside new membergroups, updates on sites may well lack behind a bit (they always do), it wouldn't be the first time news on Plus! is first posted here and then added to msgplus.net, etc..

I hope not, because tbh Microsoft ruins things it purchases. RE: RE: April Fools: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Discrate on 04-01-2006 at 05:00 PM

That's a little bit better Atomic22, anyways you can't compare Patchou with Microsoft..nor can we do anything about the speed with wich WLM develops...final release is now estimated end of April. You can however use the public beta if you wish to do so, more info about that here. RE: April Fools: Exciting News for Messenger Plus! by Atomic22 on 04-03-2006 at 03:42 PM Ok? so your saying there is a public better not leaked out already?
