Thank you for 7 years of support by Patchou on 07-10-2008 at 02:58 AM

Heya,

We’ve done it! 50 million people now use Messenger Plus! on a daily basis. 50 million! that’s just plain incredible. On some popular sites, Messenger Plus! is downloaded even more than software such as Acrobat Reader and Firefox. To celebrate in beauty, we’ve temporarily changed the logo on the site as well as the home page. We’re also putting the finishing touches on the skinning contest that will start in August.

In addition, I’ve also decided to respond to the overwhelming demand of tickets for the Fantasia movie of this year by distributing 20 tickets more than what was originally planned. We’ll meet and discuss what you want to see in the forthcoming version 4.70 of Messenger Plus!. See you soon :-)

Patchou

Thanks for the info. Seems like I still have time to work on the Wave development and other stuff too.

7 years in Plus! (hmmm could be a nice movie title... wait...)...

Oh my, that long already and popular as ever. Well, shows that good things will never die, and start a life on their own....

Congrats to all who are involved in Plus!; Patchou, Guido, etc... and of course every forum member :p

Plus! 4.7 (7 years... 7... holy number... Etc... ok, I'll stop now :D)

RE: Thank you for 7 years of support by Bladerunner on 07-15-2008 at 04:02 AM

That's awesome Patchou, great work.

And might I add, I've been using Plus since 2001, when I was still running Messenger 3.x :)


RE: Thank you for 7 years of support by MattyRid on 07-15-2008 at 04:14 AM

7 years...*whistles* *starts the reminders of the new Foxtel Australia HD+ ads running around the TV networks*......

geez that's a long long time, I hope this keeps going for another 7+ years as well! (Y):beer:[Image: beer1.gif]


RE: Thank you for 7 years of support by John Anderton on 07-15-2008 at 08:48 AM

Congratulations! I'd like to thank not only Patchou for the amazing work he has done but also every single plugin, script and skin writer along with every forum and irc helper that we've had. I believe these guys (the above mentioned ones after Patchou) do deserve a lot of credit for creating such a community that ups the user base :)

Just to show you how popular Plus! is.. I was at the Microsoft Imagine Cup World Finals (in Paris, France) a few days ago and I was walking through the room full of projects that all the students had put up. I met a Greek guy who was chatting on WLM and told him.. "hmm.. your contact uses MP!L :)" and he replied "so do I on my computer back home" :o!
Sadly the day I was wearing my Plus! official tester tee, we hadn't met :P Still, I made sure my local ADE's and other Microsoft people knew about MP!L :P


RE: Thank you for 7 years of support by Nathan on 07-15-2008 at 12:32 PM

Practically 80% of my mates who aren't computer literate know and use messenger plus live!!!!

It's awesome - in no time whatsoever there wont be anyone without it!

I swear I couldn't use messenger happily without it.

Try reading this. It also has the history of the first years of these forums which is very interesting.

the Messenger Plus! Extension (as it was called back then) started out as a very small addon for MSN Messenger, adding log support. It was a kind of experiment of Patchou to try out some new stuff he had learned.

Also see several interviews from Patchou and other trivia pages. Stuff you might be interested in:
