Please do not pull the plug on Plus! or I will go on hunger strike, and hunt you down and knock you out with my pet lemming Martha. ;)

Jeez search, Patchou has already said on numerous occasions MS do not have any intention on buying Plus! nor does Patchou wish to sell it.
Patchou has said he will contact them about the error in MS Antispyware

Honestly,

I wouldnt mind if you stopped making features for Plus!, It fufills every need I could possibly have, and tabbed messaging will just make it PERFECT. At this point, I dont think Plus! could use much more features. HOWEVER, you would need to continuesly update compatibility.  Id like to see what else you could make as far as software goes.

2 words: I AGREE! :D
If Patchou could do that, Plus! will stay 100% compatible and Patchou can work on other great projects. :)

RE: Messenger Plus! Future
I was actually hoping for a MsgPlus4. I think that 3 is a bit messed up after new features are added. In the preference menu, the custom sound emoticon is misplaced, as well as other things. I know that it is hard to decide where to put it, but I think that it'd be better if youy start a new user interface, instead of adding features to the old one with the same interface.

Furthermore, I think that the tabbed msn should get a good GUI that will suit the window without the frame. Also, there should be a button to create a new tab near the tabs, similar to firefox, which will ask you to start a new conversation. I know that talking about tabs right now many not be appropriate, but I think you should consider those if you havn't.

Other than that, I have nothing to say about MsgPlus!, though I hope that there will be upcoming versions of it, not just a plugin without anymore new versions. That would make the MsgPlus! community kind of dead.

I personally would like to see more features in Plus!. As long as Microsoft is releasing newer features into MSN, Plus! should follow along and adjust itself to that version's release.

I don't mind Plus! being bloated, as long as it doesnt take up more system resources :P

As I see it, Messenger Plus! is as good as feature-complete. However, you yourself said that in the recent beta you had made a technical step that would allow a whole new array of functionalities to be added in a future.

I would personally feel sorry if MP! was discontinued. However, I'd be proud to have helped as much as I could to make it better at some point of my life.

But: Messenger will continue evolving. Apart from all the compatibility issues that will be fixed, there may (and will) be new features to be potentially enhanced by Plus!. :S

But this shouldn't force you to stay. Actually, I think the community, the vast community this application has achieved, could take control of the development at some point, and while a certain reduced group of selected programmers do the hard work, the rest could be suggesting, critisizing and by all means taking the decisions on how to move on with Plus! (well, maybe not that far community-based, but I believe a group of selected users with proved common sense could judge what has to be done next). This is somewhat near to public domain, but doesn't actually free the code itself. Of course things can go bad, but we wouldn't know if we didn't try. ;)

This is just my somewhat late 2 cents to the thread. :)
