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. |

salut et voilà, mon ami As soon as people realize that using or connecting to a LW version above 4.9.29 gets them into a controlled network, they will ask "where can we get an older version?" We should share the installers that will help users remain freely connected. (ultracross: ) 4.9.30 is already controlled by fewer ultrapeers, so I will participate only in a network of 4.9.29 Ultrapeers or earlier. I plan to ask for vendor/version blocking to help keep a free and open international network. When the network consisted of 150K users, this still allowed much development to continue, and there is still lots of work to do before Mark Gorton's vision of an open and free network is realized. gnutella is far from dead: we should encourage and facilitate those interested in F/LOSS to only use 4.29 and earlier. This will preserve the current network and provide an option to the controlled network. Personally, I like the idea of ridding the network of all that audio crap Vive la texte et les images! Pardon my French. LOTR: currently only audio files will be affected, but the code is ready to not share other extensions too. As far as I'm concerned, that's not the issue. It's that LW has been pressured into allowing the RIAA to exert influence over material and people outside of the USA. What hackers! "All your files belong to US " Yeah right. So: can you experts tell me this? Will sharing my 4.9.29 Pro.dmg be any use to other OS X users? I'm currently sharing LimeWire 4.9.29jum431 OS X (magnet available on request). |

Salut Stief Good idea about sharing 4.9.30 installers. I'll do that. As soon as frostwire.com is set up and has installers, I'll be sure that it gets a forum here so people can discuss and find an alternative with all the greatness of LW technology minus that CC branch. Gnutella will survive, but boy those time with excess of 3,5 mill simultaneous users (again with trap_jaw crawler) will feel long ago and weird compared to what's coming. It is like 2002 Gnutella all over again at least, LW forks will still keep LW technology alive, thanks to GPL and open source dev. I will come here less often, because I'm really sad thinking about what we've been going through just to waste a proggy like that. Moreover, I lost faith in justice and freedom Ciao LW RIP 2000-2005 Killed by money and stupidity

LOTR, I'm trying to find out if it is OK to share the Pro installer . . . but the LimeWire 4.9.29jum431 OS X.dmg is OK. After all, it is almost the equivalent to Pro. Users just need to search for and share "29jum.dmg" so that OSX users can participate in the current open network internationally. Thanks in advance to the windows users who share the jum installer: much appreciated. Other options should be available soon: this is something we can do now. There really is no big rush: this is just to demonstrate that the network is still free and open, and that the ideals of limewire.org can continue. Cheers all and happy sharing: no need to despair about justice and freedom |

Slyck story: http://www.slyck.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14427 About Pro sharing... Well I would not share Pro installers right now, but I'll consider it once they release 4.9.31. Ciao

stief Here goes Grandpa being stupid again but I am thinking of setting one of my computers up to do nothing but run as a UP and share nothing but good copies of the all the different OS versions of LimeWire. I am no programmer so how would I go about getting good copies of 4.9.29 since the current version is .30 and would not be able to tell if the versions I get from the network are corrupted or not. |

good idea GrandPa. I've already provided the search term needed for a reliable OS X installer; et voilà and other would know about other platforms. Just get the magnets from them. and the story is out on http://p2pnet.net/story/6365 too. Sigh. Lots of FUD to deal with soon. The network is fine; current installations are fine; alternatives for future installers are available. |

Peerless, I'll continue to share your music, and have no idea yet what kinds of hoops we'll have to jump through. Actually, I don't think I'll bother, but will just continue sharing it if that's OK with you. |
| ||||
I prefer the story out now then people realizing it when 4.9.31 is out. People are being warned and an appropriate measure can be taken more easily. Same thing with FUD, we'll avoid some since those stories are out. hé Stief, nous sommes sur P2Pnet I'm beginning my hunt for 4.9.30 installers (4.9.30 is better for the network density --and search results-- than 4.9.29) Ciao
