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.

Default Uninstalling LimeWire

I am having a problem actually taking off LimeWire off of my system. With Windows XP, everytime that I try to uninstall it the programs goes to a maintenance screen. I then click on Remove all components but I just get sent to a screen that says Maintenance was successfully preformed and then it kicks me out of that part of the program and nothing has been uninstalled!

Is there a way to manually unistall the program or is there a solution to this problem?

Is there anyone who can help me out with this problem? I just want to get rid of the program and I can't!

Please help!!!

Default uninstalling limewire

I'm not sure about the exact nature of the problem, but I have found that the prolem is related to the java .class files which were installed by limewire.

If you have found an adequate solution to this problem, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! I also am having the same problem and have spent much time trying to eliminate this error.

Default Uninstall Limewire

I found a solution, however someone claimed it could cause other problems. My goal was to get rid of this relentless error (WJ VIEW error) that occured every time I re-booted. I went to c/windows/system32 and then I deleted WJ View error from there. The other problems this 3rd party claimed were with Java and specifically games which I never use. So far it worked. It's up to you if you want to try this. Good luck!

I also found that you can use the windows xp clean boot feature to solve many startup problems. Go to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 310353. This is pretty good for solving many xp problems.

Try it sometime...

Angry WJView Error: Could not execute Main:

I'd be willing to delete the WJView error file just to get rid of this problem. However, the only file I can find is a WJView.LGC file (there is a reference to limeshop in this file, but deleting it doesn't help). There are no WJView files in my c:/windows/system32 folder.

I've been trying to uninstall Limeshop, but when I click Add/Remove, I get the error message. I also get it every time I start up. I have deleted any reference to Lime*.* I can find on my computer.

I can't believe this should be so difficult to fix!

I frequently have to uninstall and re-install the limewire program. Never had a problem. Only suggestion I have is to uninstall like you would any other program, then do a search, and finally go back and make sure there is no file with that name in your Program Files. Make sure your search is searching for hidden files. I guess as a last resort if you definately definately are never going to use, and have Nortons Internet Security, treat the entire program as a virus and quarantine it.
