Lobster (and anyone else interested):

I do agree that it's nothing to make enemies over, but it's not the first time my idea has been stolen.

* billywoods1 shoots a dodgy look towards BetterName (although admittedly Ginge did ask us beforehand), NickEXP and various other addons that didn't quite make it...

I just get a tiny bit annoyed when someone takes my idea. Comparably, if some people stole all of Patchou's ideas and future suggestions and made a free, better MSN addon, I think he'd be a bit more than slightly p***ed off. Even if they didn't steal them and they thought them up themselves, Patchou would still be annoyed. So would the rest of this forum.

The fact that the idea was stolen doesn't bother me too much until I realise how popular Gradier really is. If you don't believe me, look at the Nedstat on my page... just the English version... it has about 150000+ views. (The fact that it's gone down noticeably from 4500/day to a few hundred doesn't matter! ) There's no way a Plus! user could have NOT seen it if they're on the forums. I post all the time, and my avatar caption/signature are nearly always something to do with Gradier, plus there are loads of posts about them (Gradier, BetterName, NickEXP) if you go a few weeks back. And it's on mess.be and msgplus.net.

The only reason he's beaten me to it is that he knows C++ and I don't. So forgive me if I want to strangle people like that with a coat hanger, but maybe you can understand why it annoys me so much.
