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.

I keep getting an error whenever i try any type of bearshare other than that sucky version 6. i get through all the installation, but when i get to Would you kile to run bearshare now?...Stuff begins to **** me off.

Here's what it says

"this program has been damaged, possibly by a bad sector of the hard drive or a virus. Please reinstall it"

I scanned countless times, it worked for a damn good while after 6 came out and now....Ugh..Any tips?

I'm hearing from other AOL users that this was caused by a buggy update to
that AOL Security Center software. It might have misidentified a virus inside
BearShare and tried to remove it, damaging the program instead.

BTW does AOL Security Center affect BearShare in the same way it affects LimeWire? For LW it misidentifies it & attempts to remove it. Perhaps Bearshare should be put on its 'safe list'!!! I believe AOL security uses Pestpatrol & it incorrectly identifies p2p programs as spyware even if they don't possess it. But then, I wouldn't be surprised if some BS versions do have it ... such as version 6.

Uninstall the AOL Security Center and then find the Pest Patrol folder in Program
Files and delete that folder manually. After a reboot it should be safe, so go to
the first post in this thread, download BearShare 5.1.0b25 and BearStart and
install them into a brand new folder.

After you removed pest Patrol, did you make sure to reboot and delete the remnants?

If not, it could have remained active and damaged your brand new install as it
was in progress. In any case, you should completely delete the damaged
BearShare folder before trying again. Sometimes installing over top of an
existing folder fails to replace damaged files, particularly if the damaged files
look newer to the installer program or if a buggy security program is still active
and interfering.

Another fellow came to Technutopia yesterday and succeeded with this same
problem, so it is possible.

Don't forget to uninstall that AOL Security Center and reboot if you didn't do
that yet. It has been identified as a likely culprit too.

Hi,

I installed the version in post 1 and BS connects great. Only trouble is the key expired thing.

If I close BS and then open it again, the key expired pop up comes up. So I change my clock back to 01/07/05 and can then open BS. Once it's opened I change the date back to today's date and it runs ok.

But this means that every time I want to open BS then I have to change the date back to '05 first and then back to '07 once it's opened.

Is there a way around this so I don't have to keep switching the date?

Thanks

You have to use BearStart every time. Change the shortcut you used to start
BearShare to point to BearStart instead.
