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.

Question Pro's and Con's: Lime Wire Pro

I'm thinking about purchasing Limewire Pro. Does anybody here have it and do you like it? Was it easy to purchase, download, and install? Any input will be appreciated.

Limewire Pro is definately the way to go. I purchaced it and absolutely love it ... mostly for the marked lack of advertising. Its features are no different that regular limewire.

It seems faster without the banner advertising though. Despite comments that they do not bog a system down, they do, they eat memory and bandwidth ... both useful things

Anyway ... Limewire Pro rules ... I'd go for it.

Spend the $9.50 to get the spyware-free version

installation is a breeze, you can go ahead and download the latest java JRE (1.4) from Sun as recommended on the download page, but the LimeWirePro installer will tell you that it needs JRE v1.3.1 to run and then proceeds to install it for you -- that's the only confusing part

The fact is that LimeWire and LimeWire Pro do all of the same things in exactly the same way when it comes to filesharing, but I knew that when I bought Pro, and I'm still glad I did. I bought Pro for one reason, because the people at LimeWire had the courage and forsight to release the source code to LimeWire. It shows that LimeWire truely believes in the network for which they are providing software.

This is in stark contrast to Morpheus which is temporarily piggy-backing on the Gnutella desperately trying to keep their userbase while they try to find the best way to eke every penny from their users in any and every way they can.

In short, buy LimeWire Pro because it's the right thing to do.

I have used many Gnunella clients. One feature that is either missing, or sub-standard, is the search feature in Lime Wire.

You should be able to see all peers on the network, whether morheus, kazaa, or whatever. I have noticed that LW doesn't show all possible instances.

I like kaaza lite. No banners or spyware. And it shows all Gnuella users, including limewire.

Kazaa lite does not connect to the gnutella net, it only connects to the FastTrack network. This consists of kazaa, grokster and fileshare (?). LimeWire will connect to all of Gnutella, including morpheus/gnucleus, bearshare (when their new security thing is off), xolox, and others. But, if you can't find the search feature, that would present a problem . . .
