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.

#1 That is my Sig and in no way applies to you or anybody else I reply to it is just a well known saying.

You did some very selective reading and editing in your bold posting of the LimeWire policy. You forgot to highlight the part that applies to your rant in bold.

A: LimeWire BASIC is completely free to download and use. An enhanced version of LimeWire, LimeWire PRO, is also available for a one time charge. LimeWire PRO can be purchased as an electronic download or on CD.

LimeWire is a software application. The one-time payment for LimeWire PRO is a payment to purchase a copy of the program.PRO purchasers also receive Technical Support via email and up to 6 months of free updates.

You will not be charged again by Lime Wire after your initial purchase. After 6 months, Pro users have the option to purchase an additional 6 months of technical support and free updates for a reduced price.


All Sales Are Final!

There is a free version of LimeWire for you to try before buying PRO, so we will not issue refunds for LimeWire PRO software purchases. We do not have sufficient support staff to process refunds manually for such a large user base. Therefore we are making it very clear up front: no refunds for any reason. This includes but is not limited to cases where LimeWire PRO performs poorly on your computer.

Now I was merely pointing out that your rant about legal issues is covered in there policy it clearly states 6 months in their policy. And I did not read your previous post nor was I answering your other post I was answering your rant on this post.

Now as for me if I had your problem I would install the free version then do a search for my PRO version. Since I have already paid for it.

Grandpa!

What part of this are you just not getting. AGAIN I SAY: I don't give a flying fig about the free version of Limewire....... NOR do I care about the support for 6 months.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I BOUGHT AND PAID FOR A COPY OF LIMEWIRE PRO!!!

The sales agreement said in short: That if I bought the copy, I would NOT have to re-purchase it in order to USE it!

It says........ if I want to continue UPDATING it or continue to recieve SUPPORT of that COPY after 6 months, I could CHOOSE to pay again (at a discounted rate of course).

ONCE AND FOR ALL.........

There is NOTHING wrong with the copy I purchased!! NOTHING WRONG WITH THE COPY I PURCHASED! THIS IS NOT A SUPPORT ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read every single line of the purchase agreement PRIOR to purchasing this copy and at no point did that agreement state or even imply that in the future, Limewire would disconnect my ability to install the software I was buying...... nor did it suggest that accessing their servers to DO AN INSTALL was even necessary.

This is a case of LIMEWIRE disabling my ability of using the COPY I BOUGHT WHICH IS ILLEGAL!

Because they require that CD installation to access their server to properly install, they are putting themselves in a liable situation by discontinuing that server connection without offering those buyers an alternative to get the software THEY BOUGHT to install.

You continue to focus on the support and updates and I have said time and time again, that is not my motivation and FURTHERMORE was not the reasons why I bought it to begin with!

PRO PROVIDES:
Better search results
Turbo-charged download speeds
Connect to more sources


THIS is why I bought the software. The same reasons I would purchase Adobe Acrobat Full instead of the free version available to all. It comes with full capabilities whereas the free version has limitations.

FURTHERMORE!!!!!!!!! The legal issues I bring up are NOT covered in the agreement. ONE LAST TIME: Because Limewire's Pro CD requires the installation to access Limewire's server in order to complete installation, Limewire is required by Law to maintain client based access to that server after they purchase the software or ELSE provide them with an alternative that; by their own admission, does not require re-purchase.

My "ranting" is a REASONABLE response to being the victim of an illegal act.

Yours, however, is just an attempt to show power of knowledge which is seriously flawed BUT... that flaw appears to be your refusal to see the facts I have pointed out and have an understanding of consumer rights.

So, if you'll please stop eluding to my lack of comprehension, and only continue to respond to my posts with legitimate solutions to this LEGAL issue... the justified anger might cease.

May I ask, at what point does the installer stop. Generally with the newer installers, as soon as you open the installer, it will say welcome to the x.x version installer.

May I ask what year & month you bought the LW installer CD?

Right from the word go, this installation stops. It appears as if the very first thing it begins to do is access that server so I never even get farther than a spash screen and click to continue installation.

When I bought it? It was approximately 2 years ago next month if memory serves. So: The beginning of 2004?

So most likely version 3.7.1 or 3.7.7; http://www.limewire.com/english/cont..._history.shtml

Is there only a single installer program on the disk? I am surprised there isn't a standalone installer. Check the entire disk & sub-folders!

I've sent a pm to a member of LW to find out what the situation was at that time re: LW installation CD's. That was 5-6 hrs ago now. But it could take a while to find out. When I do I'll get back to you if not she will 1st. They may also have had different purchase policies at that time.

Personally I never used LW v. 3 as I jumped from version 2.x to 4.0.4
2-3 months before I found the forum I guess.

Thank you! Your advise was very helpful and appreciated. Based on the link and info you provided I have NOW been able to install my copy and I see it's version 3.6.15 Pro, which may be old but it's all I need.

Thanks again........ Problem solved.

Xcellent so there was a standalone installer not requiring online connection to LW. I'm glad to hear it. Enjoy!

The best thing to do is downld the Pro version & back it up. Back it up onto external HDD, or CD, etc. Then you'll always have a copy of it. But there's a good reason why LW updates. The gnutella network changes & develops. And so do the gnutella programs. So older programs become a heavy weight on the network as they don't work the same way or behave the way expected of the newer gnutella programs. The much older versions actually do damage to the network by causing much more traffic with less results. Thus slowing the network down. That's why people are always prompted to update asap.
