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.

You are aware that if they stopped coding for the mac, It would be harder for aqcuisition to continue. Aqcuisition uses LimeWire's code for everything but the GUI. Without the limewire code, Aqc is nothing but a bunch of buttons that do absolutely nothing.
The core code is entirely cross-platform (it's Java, after all). Your statement is entirely wrong.

Btw Porfiry, when are you gonna limit the number of connections to ultrapeers to 3? LW2.9 users can't change that anymore and with dynamic queries it's stupid to waste ultrapeers connections. AFAIK, 6 connections is better than 3 for the user as of now, but in two months it should not change the number of results.... An OSX limewire user...

It'll drop to 3 when LimeWire 2.9 is widespreaad enough to allow it. I'm taking enough flak as it is for reducing it to 6. If I went to 3 immediately, I'd have a full blown insurrection on my hands.

Glad to hear it Porfiry!!! I understand that newbies don't know the basics and for them less results can be explained by less connections, but they will be proved wrong in the next months... (yes I know that the results are limited by the program, but rare things will be easier to find)

Unhappy Aquisition 801

Porfiry, I just updated to the newest release of Aquisition, and I have a major issue with it that wasn't a problem with the previous release:

The network would not connect to ANY peers.... I have left this on all night and by morning still nothing connected. I have tried restarts, re-initializing my cable modem, and resetting the DHCP values in the network control panel. I can connect to the web with ease, use msn, yahoo, and ICQ messengers without any problems, so I don't understand the problem with aquisition. Yes, I did check the preferences, and I have the number of connections set to six, and I could not find anything else out of the ordinary....

- Help! I am P2Pless right now!

0.801 isn't the latest release. 0.802 is, and I suggest you download it.

Default 801 to 802

Ok Ok, so release 0.801 lasted less than a day, that's cool. so I've updated my system with the release candidate of Java 1.4.1 via automatic update, and updated to Aquisition 0.802, and now I get network connections, but none of my searches yield ANY results, for stuff that should come up even with the fewest files available per server, like norton, adobe, microsoft, or eminem.....

By the way, I tried the 2.8.6 release of Limewire with Java 1.4.1 and there is NO change in it's behaviour compared to before.

you're right--looks like a few weeks before LW will link to 1.4.1. I read that one of the team is working on a OSX box fulltime now. Hope they can find an alpha tester to help out with the Classic version. Know anyone who might be willing?
btw--2.9.3 ALPHA looks to have fixed the "could not move" problem.

That's because you never actually tried Limewire 2.8.6 with Java 1.4.1.

Unless, of course, you edited the "Info.plist" file inside the "Limewire.app/Contents/" folder by changing the value of "JVMVersion" from "1.3*" to "1.4.1", "1.4*", or "1.4+".
