RE: RE: Why Have You Sold-out?
It would be different if they were threatening you with legal action or something but seriously please reconsider putting it back


Why did you only get it for that, there are many other useful things, but okay, its your choice. You can have plus, then download stuffplug, there is a stuffplug feature that removes the ad, so thats solved... You need plus! for Stuffplug though I'm afraid.

I think that Patchou has removed this feature because it was slightly immoral and lowering the income of microsoft, thats not really fair is it? How do you know that they don't have a problem with it, there is the possibility that he may have been asked to remove it, or they just simply didn't know about it.

He doesn't need to put it back, if you have messenger plus installed, then download stuffplug-ng... www.stuffplug.com

And if Microsoft has not even asked you to remove it then WTF is your problem? Obviously they don't have a problem with it, or they are too big and making too much money to care...

see it this way..patchou also has a sponsor..why?cause he needs money in something he works on...microsoft made msn messenger free...they have a sponsor..why?cause they have a developer team to pay to every month! Do you think patchou is stupid and ruthless to take the sponsor out when he knows what's it's value?:S
THEY ARE A BIG COMPANY they need big profits at the end of the month, just like patchou needs the sponsor money!...Want to see it this way?

If Msn Messenger Users blocked the sponsor :

Msn Messenger didnt gave enough profits to pay to developers team..Microsoft Borrows from Microsoft Office Project...

If Msgplus! Users (i mean NONE) didnt use the sponsor :

Patchou didnt get as many money as he needed to survive...he borrows from the bank...

now think if that happened everymonth?
Microsoft would be with less profits quickly and Patchou would have debts...

(THOSE ARE FICTIONARY EXAMPLES)

Do you think thats right?:S

You have an obsession with "sell-outs" :P

It's not like we haven't improved from the ICQ 98 era, when AOL purchased their company for $287 millions.

If Patchou doesn't remove ad remover EVERYONE removes ad and not just the clever ones. If everyone removes ad Microsoft thinks oh dear our advertisers don't want to give us money.. lets start charging for MSN. Patchou did the right thing and is helping protect our cash :P

Come on guys!
Is it that hard to download the Stuffplug?

If you really need it just download that plug-in, its easier to download the plug-in rather than asking Patchou to add a feature that he does not want to add!

And MsgPlus! Gets money by installing some sponsors, and it will be like stealing if patchou is getting paid for a program that its used to take out the banner that pays M$!
