Yes, but the point is nobody actually keeps the sponsor package if they install it by accident. They simply uninstall and reinstall it so I can hardly see how including it benifits anything.

Some people install it by their own will. I know I do now and then. When I feel I need space or whatever, I uninstall it for a while.
The thing is, Patchou only works on MsgPlus!. He lives from the sponsor. No sponsor, no more good updates for Plus! (because he'd need to get a job and wouldn't have time to develop it anymore).

Yea, but he could make money in other ways. Look at stuffplug.com. They make money off http://www.azoogleads.com on the site (the banners are fine but don't have that popup js thing). How about ditching C2 Media and going with them sort of adverts on the site. |

The way it is .... its perfect ..... we already have google ads on the site. No need to put big banners or pop ups 
Its patchou's decission and he has decided to have an optional sponson and thats fine  [

RE: Petition to save Messenger Plus!
The different ways to make money has already been talked about here http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=46306 and other post from what I get its useless to bring it up Patchou will not change it from the responses I have read. I think Patchou does need to reconsider it though this is just gonna get worse. I think ms is full of sh** myself. They know what they doing and I think they doing this on purpose. |

RE: Petition to save Messenger Plus!
The problems with picking another sponsor is:
1. About the "ads on the installer" suggestion: They must allow to be seen in a program's installer.
(Google AdSense and many others do not allow this, from what I've read.)
2. About the money: They must give considerable amounts of money.
3. Security, age-wise, customization: They must be safe, non-spyware, and must allow Patchou to customize the sponsor.
(Currently, the sponsor is a customized version for MsgPlus!, it does not contain anything harmful nor porn ads.)
The ads on the site are meant as an additional income. Obviously you don't go all the time to the main MsgPlus! website to use this add-on. So the sponsor must be in something people use a lot.
As mentioned before, Patchou won't take off or change the sponsor.
