This doesn't sound like sarcasm. What's going on?

Because it's just not really necessary, and it causes more problems than it's worth. People often think that VAT-Spy has crashed, not realizing it is just hidden with a tray icon.

As Ross says. Ever since I started using VAT-Spy at the start of my VATSIM "journey", I thought the application crashed every now and then, with no way of reopening it without rebooting the computer. After some years of hearing people having the same problem, and not bothering to check what was going on myself, I suddenly saw VAT-Spy in the system tray after a "crash". Little did I know, the application didn't crash, it was just minimized, and opening another instance didn't work.

After I learned this, I started telling people about it and what do you know; everyone had the same problem. It wasn't crashed at all, it was just minimized.

That is why. 🙂

VATSpy will not stay open for longer than about 1 minute before crashing and closing.
