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.

Exclamation Forget FrostWire

Why to use another clone of LimeWire ?

Please choose something that is created from beggining as
Free and Unlimited Gnutella client.

You dont need wait for another LimeWire clone !

Advantages of PHEX:

it's Free - free for price, and Free because released under GPL

it's stable - PHEX is very mature project

it's unlimitd - PHEX is created to be Unlimited [you dont need to modify it to download some "warez" materials]

it exists - PHEX is HERE since few years, you dont need to wait for release - just go to http://phex.org/ and download it NOW.

its safe - PHEX recived Softpedia "100% FREE" award for
contain NO spyware, viruses, trojans and backdoors. [unlike many LimeWire clones]

CHOOSE PHEX - BE FREE

Salut pawelsz, while Phex is a nice cross plaform aternative, it is no where as advanced as the LimeWire project (and I'm talking about the network core, the one that matters for the health of Gnutella).

While I support Phex devs and I'm happy that they work to maintain viable alternatives, the LimeWire project is the one who is the most complete tested Gnutella client.

Phex is certainly not ready yet to overtake LimeWire or even the first version of FrostWire. However, it let advanced users more control over the app, so it's possible userbase isn't the same as FW or LW.

I wish the best to Phex team and I hope all the open source java Gnutella clients continue working together (hehe, that means LW, FW and Phex).

If you want to help the Phex project, any enthousiast can work on their wiki http://phex.kouk.de/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

That's the goal of FW, that was also for LW, but since they are a corporation and the RIAA is stoopid....

Quote:

So is LW and FW

Quote:

On that point, we'll all agree that LW is much more mature, FW will get to LW level quite soon

Quote:

Freedom of users is the goal of FW, no software should think for their users

Quote:
it exists - PHEX is HERE since few years, you dont need to wait for release - just go to http://phex.org/ and download it NOW.
Well since FW and LW are GPL, get the source and compile, voilà!

LW is 100% under Softpedia and so will FW

Ciao

nice points, and good job et voilà

I've been wondering a little why we don't all just join Phex, since so much of the infrastructure is in place and the GregorK's work has been respectable.

Still, I wonder if GregorK prefers to work on his own mostly, because I'm not aware that he has had much to do with the GDF or LW.org He's had lots of opportunity to encourage many of us to switch in the last few years, but doesn't seem that interested in handling hordes of inexperiencedusers.

FrostWire should be able to help more of the average LimeWire users, but I hope all the open source gnutella developers can continue to build the best open information sharing network.

Good to see Phex has some passionate posters.

Well, personally, I believe most people want to aim a little higher than phex in terms of usability and looks of the interface and quality of the underlying software.

It didn't even connect when I tried to run it and showed a number of display errors.

And go easy on posting large images!

Though I really like it that we have such great fans... go pawelsz go...
...it will never be the intention of the Phex team to overtake LW or FW...

Rather we prefer to work together and offer an alternative to LW and FW.

But of course if anyone of you like to join the Phex team or help out here or there, I would be very happy to welcome him. It's not that I prefer to work on my own. It just seems to be not that attractive to work on a smaller project where you have more influence on the team and your contribution weights much more.

Also I'm just not the guy who likes to do big marketing or who praise the product all over others. I just like to develop good software and if users like, fine.

The reduced GDF presence of Phex has certainly something to do with there very unfriendly and offending talk with members at the beginning of the project (early 2001). Sure we did something wrong, but we also fixed it quickly and made sure we comply. Well but I guess most of you know that the atmosphere can get rough there.

Though I would also welcome inexperienced users and help them as good as I can, Phex is basically aimed towards the advanced user, by trying to display more about the insides and allow to adjust how things work.

Gregor

Default Not A Joke

One of the As in RIAA stands for America ( Well to be politically correct USA) ... you can work out for yourself what the other A stands for

Frostwire is not based in USA but is closely related to Limewire. The story is fairly long so I suggest you read the following thread, which will, I think explain what's going on.
