No , Once the sponsor program is install you may know that a toolbar is added. Anyway its like patchou gets 1 cent everytime somebody clicks a link on the toolbar.

Yes, something like that... I get my revenue based on the searches people make and their clicks on the results.. it's the exact same way Google and the othersmake their own revenue too (with the difference that software like Adaware don't try to removethe Google toolbar so it doesn't have to act so defensive to protect itself).

As an added bonus, C2Media also hosts my site, which is extremely nice considering the bandwidth I now need.

Ahh ok I see now.

How about making the sponser program stand out more when installing so the people will see it or maybe move somethings around on the sponser screen in the install so it looks diffrent form the rest of the install screens. That may cut down on all the people who suposibly diden't see the sponser program and installed it and now are emailing you and or posting stuff like what this topic is about.

First, I aplogize again for the poor chocie of word, however, Inever treated my users as idiots because they didn't want to install my sponsor (how anybody could be that rude?). It was just a reaction to people sayign that they boycoted the new version because their was an optional in it, just for the idea that I was bundling something that could be installed. I'm sure the original post must still be somewhere.

As a side note, "idiot" is also a word in french and I learnt, at my own depends, that its meaning in english is much more"aggressive"... so, sorry for being french .

And toconclude, once again, the agreement WILL be modified in version 3.25 that will be released very soon. Version 3.21 (tomorrow) will be distributed with several test versions of new agreements window to prepare for it. My goal has never been to trick anyone, it it was, there would be one check box in bold saying "click here, it's fun!" and I would stop spending so much time replying to these posts .

You don't need to apologise, we know what people like that are like, its just like a newspaper article, they bend the truth. We know that you wouldn't treat your users like crap just cause they didn't install the program, and you know that we always tell them what to do if they do install it, it was unbelievable to hear that you said that, I didn't believe it at all, then i read through all of the posts, and believed it less.. lol...

So i'm guessing tomorrows today right?? If you don't know what i mean...

I think that the whole article is actually quite funny, it amused me a lot reading it, happy reading chaps.

Tsk tsk tsk. Even profesionals dont read the agreements...

Why don't some people get that its optional.

Well clearifying the install/licence agreement part probably will help.

I know hundreds of people that just click happy through an installation without reading it, sometimes it may say:

THIS IS ABOUT TO INSTALL A MAJOR VIRUS

they'd probably press it, people need to be more observent when installing software onto their pc's, but i'm afraid a lot of people don't know the consequences when they click through installations. 

People don't get that its optional because on them pages, you usually have to click accept to carry on, on this installation you don't have to.

you should put a picture in the sponsor agreement window- thing, showing what will be installed

TBH, what part of it is bullshit?

I don't like articles like this either, but I don't see any incorrect facts, just dodgy opinions.

There is an innacuracy as it doesnt really say that it is an optional install.
