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.

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. Donīt 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. |

 Another tale for Gnutella's history It was indeed interesting to watch the whole story. The Morgy tale There is a loyal Bearshare user, let's call him Morgy, who did support Bearshare for many months. Morgy was a nice guy who spend his free time to help many other users and to build up a friendly community. This friendly community was far away from the programmers home land. Let's call this programmer talent Vinnie. As a loyal user Morgy ignored all rumours about Vinnie's bad behaviour in the home land, about dissing everything that is not Bearshare, e.g. how bad Morpheus, Xolox or their features allegedly are. Morgy used to say "Vinnie isn't Bearshare" and "Bearshare itself is a great product". Morgy believed in Bearshare overwheeling power and Bearshare is indeed quite nice, perhaps a new version is needed. Then Morgy did start to talk with Vinnie. A big mistake, as we will find out. Morgy was curious about a awaited new Bearshare version, features or a new beta version for testing. Vinnie didn't want to tell the truth about his so called "defender project", perhaps he couldn't. Also Vinnie didn't react the friendly way on any further questions. Critic on his type to proceed, even friendly or constructive, is something this programmer doesn't want to hear. The brawl begun. Vinnie did attack Morgwen, Morgy itself started to speak back with the same loudness, critic became more personal and finally both are yelling personally against each other... southern temper from both. Nothing bad, somtimes it's helpfull to make things clear and then continue to work together again. Hmm not in this case, Vinnie didn't want to talk with Morgy anymore and don't forget Vinnie's other loyal VIPs (and some orks and trolls). They came quickly, bitched and fight together against nobel Morgy, to intimidate him and make him silent. No, this is not a side story of 'Lord of The Rings', Vinnie isn't Sauron. However I don't want to repeat the stupid and tastless offenses from both sides. Rumours say there have been some evil mutated Nazi trolls raping Elbes, but this is just a horrible tale to scare children as far as I know. Now we are here and see this poll about kicking Morgy, deleting all his posts. What a quick fall from a loyal user to a kicked and fallen angel! And free speech is usually one of the first victim. *sigh* But is this a sad story? No not for Morgy. Meanwhile he does not believe anymore in Bearshares advantages and he uses a few other Gnutella client (the for Bearshare believers so unholly Xolox). Together with other P2P trading systems, like Kazaa and eDonkey he is again meeting more friendly people, downloading more files, learned more about filesharing technology and is now sharing on three networks. It might be a sad story for Bearshare and Vinnie. He lost a friendly, loyal and highly skilled user and moderator. Perhaps more will follow. The bad rumours about Vinnie and his home land are brought to a wider public... Hope you like this tale and share your files!   |

| No. I think who is interested in Gnutella or Vinnie can find it. Perhaps it's better to write a new tale about what happened in the past, about attacks against other gnutella clients, against Morpheus, plans about braking Gnutella into parts, etc. |

I don't have a problem with you, Morgwen, or Vinnie. If you two became freinds (or associates or whatever), it was through PMs E-mails, or some other Forum that i don't frequent. In any case, the falling out should stay there as well! It's a private issue and truly ignorant to drag across 2 public forums. (You and Vinnie) I also have to say, there are some decent people on bearshare.net. and your grouping us all together as some lower life forms speaks volumes about you. Bearshare is still a gnutella client, and not 1/2 as bad as you suddenly make it out to be. (It works better than any other on my machine) I am no a VIP on bearshare, I don't work for freepears, frankly, i don't give a rat's *** about Vincent Falco personally. But I think it's sad that retracting your help for innocent users isn't enough...you have to actively subvert people from BS. (If I hadn't tried BS, i would have given up on Gnutella completely for the way the other clients ran on my PC) Anyway, Thanks for all the help you offered before you let a personal grudge get in the way....Sorry if you got hurt. |

If you donīt want to read it ignore it! My post are in the brawl forum, not in the support forums! And I tried to continue this discussion in private but Vinnie set me on his ignore list! And he started to make this a public discussion not me, I continue "his" work... And about bearshare, I write my opinion about bearshare... you donīt have to agree... but I wonder why only positive comments are allowed???

| quote: The significant contributions Morgwen has made to gnet is what really speaks volumes about him. Granted, he did say ppl on bearshare.net were stupid. Morgwen, perhaps you should have said "some of the people on bearshare.net are stupid". There are also decent people there, many of whom support you. Sorry! I canīt remember that I called all people there stupid! I called Vinnie and his trolls stupid... all people who defend him without knowing the whole story... I said that I donīt fight against the users only against Vinnie! Yes, I know many of them support me... thanks to all of them! Morgwen |
