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.

My son has the best tv in the home. I like the updated tv but everytime i have one and something happen to theirs he take mine for a backup til he gets a new one. What do you think of the 3D tv's ..? My son said that he will never buy one, he said that he would not be able to use 3D tv eye glasses.

Default What do you think of 3D TVs?

Well Crymomma

First, let me say that I was very impressed with Avatar when I saw it in the cinema a couple of months ago. In one scene, when an helicopter type vehicle crashed I was ducking the flying shrapnel.

Anyway, as for 3D TV, until all the broadcasters and TV manufacturers agree on a 3D standard, and the price comes down to today’s LCD prices, I am staying well away from these potential money pits.

I bought a 40" Samsung LCD last year. teknik och känsla i ******** LCD-TV LE40B656 - LCD-TV - TV | SAMSUNG and Flashed it with custom firmware.

The only thing I can say is once you go LCD/LED you never go back.

That being said my father is quite happy with my old 28" 100Hz Philips CRT, at least after I cleaned out the 13 years of accumulated dust. Before that he thought of it more as a fire hazzard

One thing though with all new technology. If my new TV is still going strong after 13 years, I will consider that a miracle. Anything after 5-6 years is a miracle waiting to happen.

After my video card blew up I was limited to one monitor for months. I Really missed my twin 17" monitors; they make most of what I do is so much easier.

In '96 I bought a 27" Proscan TV to connect to my computer. I was told by video salesmen that I could not hook it up to a computer. Computer salesmen told me the same thing. But I was soon playing Descent II on my TV. I later got a tv tuner for my computer. So I would watch television in a sizeable window on my TV, while doing other things on the rest of the screen (I could readjust the size of the window to see more or less of the television program). It was really cool!

Fourteen years later I still have the Proscan. My friend, a cable tv field supervisor, remarks about the color and clarity I still get from the TV. I paid $900 for it back in '96. I can't sell it (in SF, via craigslist, if you want a free tv you just need to decide what size you want). And I can't get my head around getting rid of something so expensive and still working perfectly. So I am waiting for my Proscan to break (which could happen anytime in the next decade).

When I finally get to purchase a new tv I'll probably struggle with the decision for months. I'll probably go with LED (they should be cheaper by then, or else LCD). Should I get a tv or a monitor? I plan to put a digital/QAM tuner in my computer, to use as a DVR. Should I get a large screen, to watch tv in a window, or should I go a bit smaller and keep a second monitor? There is rarely a time when I watch tv without also using my computer.

At least I won't again be faced with the same problem; I doubt that any of the newer tvs will last 14 years. [When I sold tvs I learned that if a picture tube lasts five years you can count on it to last at least another five years.]

We are the first generation to dispose of things that still work perfectly. There is nothing wrong with my old cellphones and computers other than their age. We've achieved a whole new level of wastefulness. Still, I'm glad I didn't bother to take that course in TV and VCR Repair.
