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.

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. |

 All Nyc Limewire Users With Optimum! we got to figure out what is going on...im e-mailing them now  |

| Ask Optimum what you are paying $49.95 a month for. Then tell them you want to cancel your service because they are not providing you with what they advertise High Speed Internet. If all of the people started canceling their service because they block P2P it wouldn't take long before they quit doing it. When enough people complained before and told the to cancel their service they fixed the problem

| That's a great idea with one major flaw (for me at least). There is no other provider where I live, so if I drop OOL then I have nothing. DSL is not an option for me as I use VOIP for my phone service. If anyone knows of an alternative provider, I'll drop them in a second. |

| Well I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who is experiencing problems with this provider....they are acting up like Verizon Wireless (who just can't handle the number of people subscribed to thier DSL). So far my connection has to be reconnected (manually) everytime I open the program. |

| In New York each borough (manhattan, brooklyn, bronx..etc) are separated into mini areas. In each area only ONE cable provider is able to compete for your business. So basically if you want cable you can only use the Cable company that is given your area.. so much for the idea of competition. Anyway, Last night I changed my port and got up to 2 bars of connection. I still displayed the brick wall even thoguh all firewalls I put up were disabled. After downloading one song my system was hit by a million pop ups that said "ERROR" and explaining that I had a firewall. I've been told on this site that optimum has started blocking P2P networks. So I'd say, we should barrage them with complaints. If you go to their website there is a "chat live" button you can click (after noon) My P2P service was stopped last week. I've had optimum for 6 months and a fwe weeks ago got Optimum voice.. then suddenly a week later my connection is blocked. To me this seems like a concerted effort by optimum to start shutting down P2P connections. |

This is a really pain in the ***.....is anyone using something else in the mean time??? how do i get my music?? |

| I just got of internet chat help with optimum online and they are claiming (of course) that it has nothing to do with them. They said they don't block ports. He asked specifically which port i was trying to use and I couldn't remember off hand. anyway, was wondering has anyone spoken to LIMEWIRE about this? What do they say? Is it coincidental that this happened at the same time that they started pusshing their upgrade? |
