I have been using this for about a month now. It is a nice little program. They usually update it every other Thursday so there should be a new updated version tomorrow.

It would be nice is someone made a plugin for Trillian

#8.1 The Napster on 10 Mar 2004 - 19:31

And MSN Messenger

#8.2 IGx89 on 10 Mar 2004 - 19:54

And what would that plugin do? I started making a plugin for MSN Messenger that reads the game stats from Xfire, but stopped when I couldn't find any real use for it.
