RE: Sponsor software idea
I understand the arguments, however, you have to know that I have some obligations with C2Media and there's already way much more protections in the setup than in any other software they sponsorise. I obviously do not want to force the adware on anyone's computer and the current text is not designed to fool anyone. Accept is the onlyone in uppercase to make sure that people read what they accept. If I put Refuse uppercased too, then they probably won't care as much, I guess it's a matter of opinion :).

Thank you for your understanding :). Btw, I checked the original posts (thanks WDZ) and I'm happy to see that they are old posts from the time the sponsor had been introduced.

For those who want to know, since the beginning of this year, I have more users than I had last June. When the sponsor was introduced, I lost about 35% of my users in two monthes (yeah, that's depressing) but in the months that followed, users came back (I guess some of them realised that everything you read on the net about someone/something is not always true). So, everythign is fine, everyone is happy, and this forum is very very helpful (as long as people don't flame each other).

Also, if you're interested to knwo how many users install the sponsor, I'm currently at a rate of 60% so almost half of my users chose not to install the adware. With around 50,000 install per day, it's a lot of people who continue to enjoy Plus! without any downside whatsoever, which proves that the current acceptance screen and the many posts on the web about it are useful and working :). I hope you see why I'm not searching to change this part of the setup anymore :).
