Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

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. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. 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. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. 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.

Ouch! Sounds like a scam site (there's no LimeWire deal like the one you 'bought")

LimeWire is free from http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751 for stories of others who were scammed and how some managed to get their money back

Best wishes

Limewire is totally free unless you have Limewire pro but even on limewire pro it is not a pay per song service, you are getting scammed.

The only way limewire costs money is with Lime Wire pro and that is only $18-25 for a the limewire pro that is for either the cd version or the version you can download staight to your computer and pay. the truth of the matter is limewire basic is totally free lime wire pro does cost money, but not over $26 limewire is not a pay by song service either so since ive put my time into explaining all of this please dont ask again CHANCES ARE IF YOU DIDN'T GET LIME WIRE OR LIME WIRE PRO STAIGHT FROM LIMEWIRE.COM YOU ARE PROBABLY GETTING SCAMMED, SO PLEASE DON'T ASK AGAIN!

Thank you for you cooperation

OK I admit we see alot of these messages on here about people paying for memberships.. and it seems repetative.. BUT it is worth repeating. These poor folks have been scammed out of their money and they come here asking questions. The least we can do is try to be helpful and FRIENDLY. If they just got here by way of clicking around in their Limewire program that they obviously paid WAY to much for they probably haven't read all the messages on the forum about the scam and aren't aware they were scammed. If you don't have the patience to try to help them out, then don't bother reading the forums at all. OK? That way you don't have to be "bothered" by the people who are only asking for help and we don't have to read your short (and I"m not referring to length) replies.

Unfortunately, the scammers are numerous and they have a vast web presense. For the 1 true Limewire site there's 100s of scammer sites. Obviously THEY aren't going to help explain what happened to those who were taken... so let's try to be a little nicer over here.

Unhappy No vaseline

Ssminton

No vaseline, Man, that must have hurt.

Contact your credit card company, I presume you used your CC, and tell them you have been conned into purchasing something that's free. As most CCs have anti-fraud schemes, you should be able to get your money back without too much trouble.

Now, you said:

You may want to re-evaluate that.
