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.

Angry LimeWire Quits

I was getting those lock-up problems that everyone is talking about but now LimeWire doesn't run long enough for that to even happen.

Now LimeWire "Unexpectedly Quits" after just a few minutes. I am running OS X v. 10.1.4 and LimeWire 2.4.4 I keep getting the error message, "The application LimeWire has unexpectedly quite. All other applications have not been affected."

I used LimeWire for about a week with now problems and then it all started happening. I would get about 90% of an mpeg downloaded and it would unexpectedly quite. That was after being on for a few hours. Now, it quits only after a few minutes! I tried downloading an MP3 and it "Unexpectedly Quit" almost instantly.

I checked the OS X console and it said that it couldn't connect to the "Rulebook Server" . Every time it "Unexpectedly Quits" I check the console and that is what it says.

Anyone know what's going on?

I have seen these unexpected quits as well, but I have seen two flavours. One is with a crash log to console and one without any notice. The one without notice appears to be due to a shortage of file descriptors.

I just stumbled upon a situation that causes LimeWire to crash within minutes repeatedly. I get the occasional unexpected quit like everybody else, but that is random, and sometimes L W will run for hours or days with no problems other than it slows down the OS to a sticky molassesy crawl.

But today when it happened several times I did not realize that I had Classic running. When I quit Classic, the crashes stopped. It's been running normally for over an hour now.

That might be common knowledge, I'm not sure, but if you've got Classic running you might try quitting it to see if it makes any difference.

Today LimeWire quit unexpectedly (again) and Classic wasn't running. In fact nothing else was running. It had been running really well recently but now it decided to quit. I've changed nothing in the preferences or in my OS X setup. Still a mystery....hmmm.

Darn, that's too bad. I thought maybe I had found something that would be helpful until the programmers fix this potentially good application. Since I posted yesterday, I have left L W running overnight with no more problems since quitting Classic, other than the system runs like cr*p due to the java blues I suppose.
Maybe we are due for a major upgrade??????? PLEASE ????????

I just downloaded the new OS update to 10.1.5, and it really performs great. BUT, I can't run LimeWire now for more than a couple of minutes without it crashing. I looked at the console log and I get the same note about the Rulebook Server before it writes to the crash log.
So far, all my other apps run just fine, but my poor LimeWire just can't deal with it.

Is this program going to get better, or is this just as good as it gets? Somebody said it has to do with Apple's version of Java, but whatever the reason, what can we look forward to?

This is a darn shame. I love the program.

Default Unexpectedly Quits

I have the same behavior but it only occurs when running in ultrapeer mode. Startup go's oke. Then clients start to connect to me, and when the leafnode count reaches about 50 or 60 limewire quits.

Can I take it out of ultrapeer mode, and if so, how do you do it? Did that solve your problem?
