Hi @ all,

I have a very visited website and on it I have put my msn addy so that all the users can contact me. Now I have 1000 msn contacts on my list and the MSN network don´t allow over 1.000 contacts. Is there any tool or can u write any script that can remove this limit. Its really very important for me. Thx in forward for your help

Regards cyberbog84

There's no way you can change the contacts limit I'm afraid.
Maybe make an extra account? Or if you just want to store their email, MS Outlook can store tens of thousands of emails.

No one talks to 1000 people. Delete some

@Chancer well, when you have a homepage with more then 20.000 unique visits per day and you use also the Messenger for support then your list will be in short time full so I can remove maybe 100 contact but in few days it will be again full.

It's a lie, I have over 1,000 people in one of my emails, ask segosa if you don't believe me.

Yes, you can add people but you don´t see if they are offline or online and you will not be able to contact them when you do a double click on them you will only be able to write a e-mail. Also you can´t send offline messages to them.
I have also contact the msn com support and they have said to me that there is a 1000 contact limit and they won´t remove it soon because they don´t want that the people uses the Messenger for commercial things. Thats wy I try to find help here. I can paste the copy from the support that I get but its in german.

You could change the contact email like someone said then use Plus! or something else to have polygamy and have multiple messengers open at once signed into both of the contact emails and continue doing as each email fills to it's limit.

If the reason you have so many contacts is because you are providing support for a website, I fail to see why you need to add them at all.

Correct me if I am wrong, but would they usually not message you if they have a problem?  Why would you ever initiate a conversation with them?  Just set your privacy settings so that anyone can message you without being on your list.  Add only those you need to follow up with later.

@Adeptus yes, thats true and your advice maybe helpful a little bit for me

But often I have to contact the people by my own because one of the services that I offer is audio/video streaming via Net and broadcasting over satellite and when there is a server problem or a transponder problem I contact the people over the Messenger because is the easiest way and the shortest.
I´m also using a live support program but the Messenger is soo popular and so many people uses it that its very important for my business. The Messenger Plattform with Messenger Plus is the best plattform for me. The logging is also really great and the search option is really helpfull.
I don´t understand why MSN don´t start for example a payed Commercial Version or something like that with many usefull features for webmaster and companies.

Anyway thx @all for your advices but I hope that someone can helpme to remove this limit that will be the best solution for me. I know you do a great job with the Messenger Plus and at this time a BIG THX to all of the guys from the Plus! team!

This limit is imposed server-side, meaning that it is impossible to be "patched" or "changed".  It will only change when Microsoft decides to change it.

You could have them add you but you not add them. The only problem would be you wouldn't be able to start a conversation with them.

To do it you would just have to follow the picture below:

Just let them add you. You should have their emails stored on your site if you need to contact them... Send a message or email using their details.

If you want to send messages to a large group of people then I suggest using email lists and keeping IM for instant support, this is how I would personally deal with this.  It also seems to be common practise just to use some kind of ticketting sstem for problems and blog entries for problems to do with the site (downtime for example).

Big THX @all you really help me thats a great forum with great people.

Just store the emails but don't add them to Messenger. You will need to make sure people not in your contact list are able to send you IMs.

If you need to start a conversation with them, right click on the tray icon, press "Send an instant message", and type the email.

Why not get an irc channel? o.o

I´m using iRC chat, a Live Support script, E-Mail support and the Messenger. Most of the people contact me over the Messenger and the second is the live support script. iRC Chat is to hard to use for the people. They need java or iRC clients installed.

I have now unchecked the option in "Privacy" so that all contacts can contact me and I don´t have to put them in my list.
The only problem is I can´t contact them but however important is that they can contact me.
