Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Limewire cant connect in Vista

Hi im starting to get a little upset with limewire because for some reason its not connecting when I use Vista. I had XP and it worked wonderfully but once I installed Vista, it wouldnt work. I have been searching for answers in these forums and nothing seems to work. Im pretty good with computers and my Bearshare works fine. My OEM Vista Premium disk didnt come with McAfee so thats not a problem, and I have added exemptions and ports to my Norton 360 firewall as well as my D Link Gamer Lounge router. I tried turning the windows firewall off completely and still nothing works. I have the latest Jave update, and installation went smoothly I just cant seem to connect to the network. Now like I said, if I wipe my system and install XP again, limewire works with no problems so I know it has to be a Vista issue. At this point im lost heres some more specs about my system:

Vista Home Premium
Limewire Pro 4.14.12
Java 1.6
Norton 360 Anti-Virus
No McAfee
D-Link Gamer Lounge Router
2GB Ram
120 GB Hard Drive (80GB Free)
HP DV9005 Laptop
Road Runner Cable ISP

Please Help!!!

Hello Everybody. I am a subscriber of Limewire and my subscription ends on June 25, 2008.
I have read carefully almost all notes regarding problems of connecting on Limewire.
What I can say with sorrow of course is that it is easier for anyone to win any lottery than connect Limewire by 95% and if you are lucky to connect and ask for any song or video....oh ! then it is the greatest moment a parade of spam or porno files for downloading.
To close this letter now. With a mission impossible to connect on Limewire, I will think 10 times if it is worth to renew my subscription when time comes. That is to pay money for a program when you need it, it is dead.
Thanks for the good understanding but I just expressed my feelings like crystal clear.

Welcome to the Gnutella Forums GELELEENS.

Make sure you give LW Full Access through your Windows Firewall.

You may have to Forward a Port. See Link Below.

Port Forwarding for the Alcatel SpeedTouch 536v6

Hope this Helps.

I agree, was all good until I downloaded the latest free version, it just keeps saying I have a firewall no matter what I do, have tried everything I can think of - no success.
