Hi. I'm reletivly new. Let me gte this straight.

Patchou said he wanted to share the code for msgplus, some sadi no and posted offesive messaegs so patchou said he wouldn't, but now he has chnaged his mind and has decided to share an old version of msg plus for people who want to create plugins, correct??

That is correct king_of_cool_kids. If Patchou gets enough support for realsing the code for Messenger Plus! 1.42, hes has said he will release it.
Just read his first post to this thread Here

yeah. I just did. Some really good comments.

Here is my opinion:

Pros: People will be able to develop from it and produce new things to share with people.

Cons: Someone might steal it, find a flaw (dought there is any) and sell it for money.

There are many more but those are the biggest ones. I am for it but it is a bog dission. You need to think about it lots!!

good idea patchou

Don't worry, bodoby will really be able to "steal" anything.. as I said in my first post, Messenger Plus! 1.4 is not compatible with Messenger 6 at all and so much work would be involved in making a Messenger 6 compatible addon with nice features that it couldn't be considered "stealing" anymore . That's why I thought it was a good idea in the first place.. it's safe for everyone and with a lot of good things to learn . Of course, I may be wrong about the second statement and that's one of the reasons why I'm waiting for everyone's posts.

i vote yes, share it
it will help beginners like me try and learn from pro's

just like skateboarding, ask dom., u try so hard and then when a pro comes along you try even harder and he respects you for it

ps: make it a poll?

Its a nice gesture to the developers, i say go for it, but i also suggest you think about the idea of a module-based plus a bit more

I say release it, I would like the opportunity to learn from it

Module based Suxors completly as people can just rip into Plus and Patchou would get hounded from the first time someone made a dodgy module

At least if he releases the old source he can cover himself as it contains nothing harmful (Well i hope it doesnt )  And like he said it gives people the ideas not the means to make an add-on

The only thing harmful you'll find is my code is the structure itself.. I'm almost ashamed to release this old thing. One thing is for sure: I'll have to rework some parts of the code before I make it public or everybody will see me as an amateur .
