O.P. sponsor gives msgplus a bad name...so you should....
Well anyway ive seen numerous articles about people complaining about the sponsor program.

You cant blame them for clicking yes because in most installations it asks for terms and this sponsor program looks just the same..

So anyway i think that you should find a different way in making money.. For example more ads on site and some pop ups...

Those can be annoying but at least they dont "fuck up" your computer with spyware and adaware crap...

RE: sponsor gives msgplus a bad name...so you should....
but i don't think u can earn much from those ads... unless we click on the ads 50 or more times each per person per day then can patchou earn a decent amount of money. the sponsor at least gives more

At the moment with the new installation, patchou has done a random page so that he can test which one is least misleading.

Yeah, I gotta say that Patchou has tried to make the entire acceptation page less annoying but it still is misleading to the morons who skip through installations...more pop-ups for the site won't bring in anywhere as near as much money as the income from the sponsor program, and it's only a minority that is complaining...and if they make a problem here, they'll make similar problems in other places

uh... for the current installation, there is no way you can mistakenly install the sponser. if you do, you deserve it!

IMO, the choice of installing sponsor is much much better than popup while reading this forum

Just so you know these forums would be the one with popups it would be the main site. Patchou has looked into the best pays to receive payment for the software, and this was the best way. Its no ones fault if the person doesn't read when they are installing something it clearly says I dont want to install blah blah blah. If you don't read it, then it is your own fault. I don't care what anyone says thats just my views. I don't there anything needs to be changed and if you think it should, then you give your ideas that would allow Patchou to give away 4 Nintendo Game Cubes (with Plus! 2) and so on. Unless you want to give Patchou money every month to live on then then do it other then that think of where he is coming from.
