Hey and welcome to my little space on the net!
I live in beautiful Ontario Canada. I became involved with Messenger Plus! back in the original days (version 1.42). At the time I decided to join the forums. I forget why I originally joined however it was the first forum I had ever joined and it was an experience. Since then I have been a large contributor to the community. At the time of writing I have the most posts on the forum of Canadian residence (aside from Patchou himself). I have been beta testing Messenger Plus! since version 3.
I started with Screenshot Sender when the project was being written for Messenger Plus! which used an old plugin system. This version was labeled Screenshot Sender 3.5. During the development stage Messenger Plus! Live was released which said good-bye to the old plugin system and hellow to a more robust scripting engine. At this time it was decided that Screenshot Sender 4 would be born. After a long development process Screenshot Sender 4 was released. Screenshot Sender 4 exceeded 200,000 cumulative downloads which was very impressive. (SendTo had roughly 100,000 cumulative downloads. This doesn't account for the installations performed during the special release of Messenger Plus! Live which included 9 scripts.)
With hundreds of thousands of people enjoying Screenshot Sender 4 the decision was made to improve upon the script. The problem was that the code was very poorly written and not properly thought out. This made the script impossible to update and add new features. Therefore Dempsey and I decided it was time for the script to be recoded. Eljay helped with the development of a couple features during version 4. Mattias (Matti) was brought in to help with the GUI but has since then as moved into a more development role.
That is all for now. Hope you enjoyed the mini read.
