Well, as you all know, a lot people have been coming in here asking for Messenger Plus! Live. Of course, it gets a little "bothery" (if this is sayable) to always have to reply to the same thing.

I remember having read something about a Sticky, but let's face it, as mentionned in one of the numerous threads, people who ask for MP! L, usually don't read stickies either.

I thought about this, I do not know if it's doable with MyBB coding or whatsover, but I thought this could help.

Check out the screenie, this could simply be a little text added at the top saying something like :

"If you are searching for Messenger Plus! for Windows Live Messenger, please read here"

Or it could be as said in the screenie.

Anyways, I know it's not the best idea ever, and some people will tell me to just let other members reply to these threads, but i think a lot of people have became bored to see demands for the program.

I dont think we need anything that drastic. People will ask either way and honestly, Theres no harm in them asking.

Just ignore them.

its completly doable just a simple template modifacation. or you can use my plug i've made (EMS), but i doubt WDZ would use it, plus i don't know how compatable it is

i'm all for this idea, i was JUST thinking about it

I'm not saying there is, I'm sorry if I may have made this sound harsh, but I think that creates a lot of useless threads.. that then have to be reported and moved.. don't you think?

Or how about an admin email.. i mean.. send a message to all users ?

And tell them to wait and be patient, theres no Messenger Plus! for WLM yet.. sending an email is not that hard and not too drastic.. in my opinion

No, that option is selected by default.. and i dont think New members change that..

Allow Board Administrators To Send You Email Notices?
Selecting yes will allow Administrators to send you notices and board newsletters.     yes no

Edit: Sorry.. i now get ur point

Yeah.. youre right.. bad idea =/.. i couldnt think of that lol

My apologies, My mistake.
I thought i read pm

Anyway, many only join the forums to ask for the beta. If you send a mail to all users now, the ones who join after it still wouldn't know about it.

Autopming new members might be an option if that could be created. But what's the point? 

These threads might be a pain, but you don't HAVE to reply to them. Just accept the fact that those threads will be here for a while and happily browse around them if they annoy you that much. You'd be complaining a lot more if no one was interested in MP!L at all
