The same, with my Windows Vista Messenger =/ yeah, it is bad... we know!

RE: An attempt to stop skin ripping
Well, this is the problem with scripts/skins being "open-source".
Maybe the script/skinning engine should be rethought to allow open and close source scripts/skins. This would make, for example, TB write another Stuffplug script for Plus!

or skin/script developers could just realize that their work isn't as important as they would like to believe... Spoiler: the game.

making a closed source skin or script goes against the very ideals on which messenger plus was built upon, messenger plus was built as a free addon to enhance messenger and to be freely shared, it allowed users to create their own plus content so that like plus itself it was free to use and could be freely shared, keeping that custom content open source means users can learn from each other and work towards self improvement which is what patchous vision was with the custom content system, if you close that off then itd be an afront to patchou and to plus and everything they jointly stand for.
well thats just my opinion anyways. |

RE: An attempt to stop skin ripping
Completely agree. It is the only way for some people wanting to skin to learn how. Of course they shouldn't steal resources but just see the way thing work.

yes i agree they shouldnt steal resources but closing the source to stop them from doing it is in my opinion a bit too extreme, i truely beleive that with open live and through providing other easy to following educational resources that we can reach them and convert them to good respectful skinners. |

RE: An attempt to stop skin ripping
true, but hope of one day acheiving paradise is the driving force that we so badly need, maybe its a scary place now but if we lose hope of ever acheiving paradise then the very fabric of all society itself will crumble.

Maybe...
but don't think that one pre-made skin (a great job, willz! tested it, and works nice) will make 'em stop... maybe they will just slow down a bit |

perhaps it wont stop it completely but it is a good first step, if you do enough things to slow something down eventually it stops so while it doesnt solve the problem entirely its a good first step wouldnt you agree. |
