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. |

 Why we are not winning Gnutella is worthless. Just like ultimate frisbee, the concept is an excellent one, but is controlled and dominated by people too weak-willed to weild it properly. The pervading social atmosphere in both areas is the same: the masses turn on anyone who attempts to profit from the brilliance that the group has concieved. You know why Napster was a success? Not because its programming was superior, or because it existed in an environement free from those who would squelch file-sharing endevours, but because Shawn Fanning is a greedy mother****er. I don't want gnutella to work because I want to share with the world; I want gnutella to work so I can get free ****. The future of file-sharing software is not, as its past was, in allowing hippie programmers to share little bits of code with each other in their microcommunes. The future of file sharing is in providing so much free porn, movies, music and games that the average computer user will never have to leave his room again for any reason. You hemp-smoking commies out there out there need read some Ayn Rand, sack it up, write some decent software and **** over as many people as you can in creating a superior product. The one of you pathetic worms that triumphs will have fame, fortune and power enough to alleviate any moral qualms that such a rise to power might bring on. VIVA LA REVOLUCIÓN!!! -Q.B.  |

| Preach it to the back row, Quincy! Power to the people and all that. Quincy's right though - - if the Gnutella community doesn't get its collective rear in gear, the RIAA and the other alphabet soup agencies will just roll right over the top of us. |

 well, quincy does have sort of a point... the "shoot first, ask questions later" approach is much more successful than trying to sneak onto the scene without stepping on any feet. but gnutella IS being actively developed, and people ARE getting in trouble for it. at least fanning had some financial backing, compared to a few ads and popups to defray hosting costs for some of these clients. fanning's idea was brilliant, but the record companies missed the boat on it. so, they killed it. gnutella is plan B: where napster was the elephant, gnutella is the ant. pretty powerful for its size but too small, too hardy, and too plentiful to successfully kill. ease up on coders, though- don't think for a second they arent after the same things you are, quincy. if you're dissatisfied, feel free to write your own... |

| Do people actually believe that Gnutella has problems??? I have trouble with that... gnutella provides us all with a wonderful filesharing community... why push it too hard... it works now... it should grow slowly... gnutella in a sense is more of a parrallel to the internet than to napster... gnutella is a protocol... it allows people to connect to one another... the internet didn't pop out of nowhere overnight it took years to develop to where it is... and it continues to grow... explosive growth will, IMO, over time only cripple the network... if someone from gnutella attempts to break off and "take" over the network, people will leave and the whole network would shrink into subnetworks... and besides most of the people that will leave are the ones that share... Quincy, you just want free ****, that's fine but who do you think allows you to get this free stuff... the other people who share... this is a give and take community... unless there are some people who have this crazy "hemp-smoking" attitude then you'd never get files... and you'd have to go else where... Napster thrived for two reasons (1) the greed of some (2) the generosity of others... those files are hosted by people like you and me... if everyone was greedy then there would be no network and we'd all have nothing... and as Fist put it, if you don't like what's out there code your own client... gnutella's protocol is open source so it's not like you have any excuses... |
