1) it is not an opinion. That is the whole point. What I state is a fact, not an opinion!
2) if such thing works 50/50, it does NOT work as you have NO way in knowing if the notification was correct or not. Roll a dice instead and if it is 3 or lower the user has opened a convo, if it is higher it was a fake notification <= that's how accurate it is; in other words it isn't... it's guessing...
I can write a simple application (or even script) which will randomly show you "user has opened convo" in a popup. The application will do no checking at all, only showing some random popups. This application would be equally accurate. So, would you call this application a working notifier? No...
3) It did NOT work with stuffplug either. Reread my post. Long time ago when MS fixed the whole so that such notification did work, it was removed from StuffPlug as it didn't worked anymore. Because many people couldn't accepted it didn't work anymore, TheBlasphamer simply added it back out of frustration of the many mails he got. But it didn't work anymore! Don't beleive me, search the forum for TheBlasphemer's post about this yourself
4) It has been stated many times on all Messenger-related sites that such notifiers do not work anymore. And on some sites it is also explained in much technical details why...
And you do not have to 'believe' me at all, do some research (and I mean proper research, not simply stating what others have stated or "testing" like asking your contacts as that is a seriously wrong test for this), study the protocol and read up on how such notifiers actually work...
Again, this is not an opinion or what I 'believe'... it is a FACT.
