Used to be Great, then Themeisle Bought It

I’m not sure what the deal was with Themeisle taking over this plugin, but as soon as they did I started getting annoying messages on my Dashboard, on my Plugins page, and maybe even a couple other pages. Unnecessary messages about the plugin and submitting a rating for them and all that nonsense. Imagine if every one of your plugins did that, the dashboard would be more notification messages than actual admin activities.
I have deleted the plugin, as the annoyance of the new notification messages outweights the benefits of the plugin.
