What makes you think chat logs are saver on a server, that's giving control over security away to an unknown party. What if the server gets hacked? Then the hacker in question will have access over all the chat logs instead of just those from a single person. Server-side storage makes it a much bigger target. And we'll still have to download the logs to our local machines to be able to view it, a person with access to the local macine will still be able to "steal" the log files as before.

Windows Live Messenger (as MSN is called for years now) has its own chat logging functionallity too, you don't need Messenger Plus! for that. Live Messenger's own chat logging also stores the log files locally. In a way Live Messenger's own logging functionallity is less secure, because Messenger Plus! allows password protected log files, Live Messenger does not.
