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.

Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. 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. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12.

Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. 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. |

 Umm...Sharkie what 2nd edition are you refering to? I hope you got LW pro thru the official LW site: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml You can get a CD edition. But as far as I know that's all. lizziebrad I'm sorry LW customer support didn't get to your problem before the weekend but they will I assure you. And yes if you don't eventually get the registration to come thru then you should get your money back. You should at least get an extension on your registration for the period you haven't been able to downld the softw. Sorry to hear there's been this type of issue. About a month back they had a problem for a day or two with their online registration which may have cropped up again. Keep an eye out, just make sure their mail doesn't end up in your junkmail.   |

 was i scammed, too? 1st time I've visited the forums--was looking for some answers to something I once read after starting LW; NOW i think i've been scammed, too. Here's what I paid and my purchase info: iPay Receipt Sheila Flanagan 5703 Old Niles Ferry Road Greenback, TN 37742 US Dear Sheila, We appreciate your purchase on http://www.mymusicinc.com. Web Site Name: MyMusicInc.com Purchase Date/Time: 1/19/2005 8:41:03 AM Credit Card Number: 54xxxxxxxxxx3470 Your Subscription Number: 159369102 You have purchased access to MyMusicInc.com at http://www.mymusicinc.com for $44.90. Today's charge is $44.90. Your credit card will be billed as iPayCS.com*My Music Inc. Please allow 24 hours from the time of purchase before attempting to cancel your subscription. Sincerely, Customer Service AFTER I did this, LW is what I downloaded and have been using, tho' i have the same issues: music--no problemo! movies? can't get 1 single true movie via search in LW. I remember I paid extra for the ability to get movies--not just music. The original search that led me here, was something about being sure a movie file was a minimum size to ensure its authenticity. now i can't find any tips on that issue but the few items "so-called" movies i've downloaded are only advertisements or i get the same msg about codecs. help? |

| Yes sflanagan it looks like you were scammed too. As you can see from the previous page ww.mymusicinc.com is on the list of scam sites. To think you could have got LW for free or the Pro version for $18.88, the best advice is usually to try to cancel the transaction asap. But since yours was over a month ago I think you just have to put it down to experience. But make sure they do not have the ability to re-charge you. Some of these scam sites will automatically re-charge after a period. Last edited by Lord of the Rings; February 23rd, 2005 at 04:05 PM. |

| Hi the exact same has happened to me I signed up for the $19.99 standard package at http://www.filesharingcenter.com/login.php and that installed the Limewire on my home computer. I re-installed it to another computer and that installed Etomi  which looks the exact same as Limewire. Shame we only find sites like these after this sort of thing has happened. I would never have expected them to have given this software out on a free |

| SCAM Site Reselling P2P Clients A website by the name of www.americamp3network.com is a scam site they say that they offer a legal way to download mp3s and movies the pay back the copyright holders. They offer a lifetime membership a one time fee of 34.95. When you pay this fee you are then allowed to login to they're members only area. Once you login you are given nothing more then links to download freely available p2p clients. Limewire, WinMX, Freewire, Morpheus, edonkey, grokster, and Imesh. Interestingly once you login you are presented with a warning that says if you try to reverse the charges on your credit card they will charge you an additional 80.00 dollars. They also state that they are not responsible for what you download. On they're main page of the site it shows small screen shots of limewire, Unfortunatly I figured that out once I already paid. Please pass this info onto others. I'm Unsure if there is any recourse I can take to get these thieves site taken down. There website looks like it is based in the U.S.A. but the actual credit card charge company is located in the United Kingdom the charge company is shopper@ uk.worldpay.com If anyone knows a way to find out where this site is located or if they can be sued or prosecuted by me or the makers of the software they are profiting from please let me know. Hopefully the authorities can go after them. Thanks Last edited by phool; February 24th, 2005 at 08:01 PM. |

| Scam ! Hi... I too had found that site for LimeWire that had the 3 price membership offerings. Fortunetly, it couldn't process my chrg card. I went back several days later to try again, and was surprised to find the one time price of $18.88, thinking maybe LimeWire changed it's policies. Now I'm GLAD it didn't process my original order!!! Sorry, wish I had saved the address of the original one, but I'm sure I just typed it in as 'LimeWire.com' . I don't normally use an engine search for such things...... though, maybe. |

| It looks that way yes. There's no lifetime membership to Limewire (LW.) The Basic version if free. So they were having you pay just to show you to the downld site which does not belong to them. Nor does LW itself have any relationship with those people. It's a new enterprise for people to put together attractive sites saying downld all you want & just pay a membership. Then show you to the free downld site. (By the way there's also a clone or few of LW that aren't as good.) If I were you I would contact the credit company ASAP & cancel the transaction & explain these people were scammers. This is the official LW download site: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml (& downld.com or another site actually host the files.) |
