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.

Dance g4 mac os9 torrents ? downloads ?

I'm surprised your G4 did not come with OSX unless it was one of the very first models. Which model G4 is it may I ask? What is the processor speed? Knowing the model/year will help to know how far you can upgrade as far as OSX goes.

Also, how much RAM does your system have? You can check this on OS 9 but for the life of me cannot remember how off hand. lol I think you will find a system tools utility under the apple menu far left of the menu bar top of screen.

Yes, unfortunately the OS 9 browsers are out of date and struggle to load the newer java and html coded web pages, and especially if the page has flash imbedded.

My G4's have been out of action for past 8 months due to moving to a place too small for us (so many things never unpacked.) But we'll be moving soon with luck. So it's hard to give direct advice about OS 9 except from memory.

Torrents on OS 9 ... I'm not sure. My first suggestion would have been an early version of Azureus (now called Vuse), but I am not even sure if it ever ran on OS 9. I used Azureus on one of my G4's but that was with OSX.

OSX system is not expensive to buy btw. I bought Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6) on same day I arrived back from an overseas trip. It cost me $50 AUD. Which is about the same USA currency. I believe the newest OSX is even cheaper but you would not want that version for your computer, I don't think 10.7 would be compatible with a G4. 10.7 is intended for intel macs and lacks the support for older macs.

You might be able to buy a 2nd hand copy of an OSX system disk from someone.

Does your G4 have a CD or DVD burner? Not a player, a disk burner.

thanks for the reply
it did at one point have os10 on , but i some how made it dissapear after some sort of tampering wilst having no clue what i was doing.
i have both the system restore and software disks.
it says the ram is 3072 k ? under the memory bit
has a dvd but not a burner
on the back it says :64m sdram/10g hd /hdm
sounds pretty low spec
i had been hoping to some how get some free anti virus software ,onto a usb then stick that in the pc and solve the pcs problem , wich im still workig on.
concidering its about eleven years old im surprised it funtions as well it does , i supouse i had just got used to the pc concept of being able to download anything you need.
iv looked at azureus , butit doesnt seem to cater for os9 .
so ive got two machines churning away while i try to figure out a way to make one or the other do what i want , if only they would share the load .
il probably be able to pick up os 10 somehow.
mayby il look for some old games to play , that might keep me satifide.
i recon streaming videos and such isnt going to happen.
i verry much aprieate your time and help. i would insert a smily face but i carnt find them.....
