It almost feels like I am doing nothing else then pleading for help. But here we go again:

I understand your wanting to get people to help, but the nag screen -
GMPC is looking for help getting a release ready.
Several things need to be done to accomplish this.
One of the main remaining issues is a user-manual and testing of GMPC and it plugins.
If you want to see a new release (and not this stupid nag screen, please contact the developer ( email: qball@gmpclient.org, irc: irc.freenode.org #gmpc)
- is a serious misstep. That’s the sort of shit I’d expect from Windows shareware, and it’s made worse by the fact that it keeps popping up every 30 seconds (0.20.95~bzr3343~50~40~maverick1 from the Ubuntu PPA). Not cool. Maybe once on startup once is reasonable. Harrassing people once they’ve got your message is lame.
Other than that, awesome software, so thanks for the rest…
I don’t give a rats ass if you do not like it. I have been asking/pleading/begging for help with GMPC for a long time now.
To give some dates of posts of plea’s:
2011/04/17
2010/12/31
2010/02/07
I also had a ‘first -run’ popup asking for help in the git version, but this never gave me anything.
So that is why I try the NAG screen, if you don’t like it, thats to bad for you. If there won’t be people willing to help there won’t be a next release and GMPC will die a lonely death. I hope to avoid this.
AND you should not complain that hard because you are also running an git snapshot, git snapshots are known to be unstable, broken, and possibly annoying so you signed up for this when you decided to use unstable, I did not put it in a release.
and you are exaggerating on top of that, it does not popup every 30 seconds, but every 120 seconds. (still a lot I know). Anyway I will probably remove the popup this weekend, now that I atleast got some people attention, so it did work.
If more people start complaining and bitching at me, I will put up a dialog that directly closes GMPC and stops it from working.
Why are people complaining and bitching this hard about software I wrote for free and nobody is forcing them to use it. (rhetoric, please do not answer this one)
