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.

If all LimeWire users downloaded the images from limewire.com, LimeWire Inc. would definitely go out of business. Do you know how much bandwidth that would consume? I'll show you....

8 images roughly 50,000 bytes (50KB) each. This is minimum but I believe they're bigger than that.

8 * 50,000 = 400,000 (400KB almost half a megabyte)

If you ever studied the host count at limewire.com you can tell at least ~20,000 hosts sign-on through out the day.

400,000 * 20,000 = 8,000,000,000 (8 Gigabytes)


That would mean 8 gigs of data would transfer from limewire.com daily and bandwidth is not free. They are already paying for router.limewire.com whichs gets a lot of gnutella traffic constantly from all types of clients.

I mean shutup about the ads already just pay your 6 dollars and be happy. Give something back to the community....

anti-bearshare!

Router.limewire.com is ONLY used by Limewire now! And Limewire is now $8.50!

Just my two cents!

The main reason that we didn't write an ad engine ourselves is that we would rather spend our time coding LimeWire. There are the server load issues and everything as well, but it's also just a whole separate piece of code to maintain, especially when you get into detailed reporting to advertisers.

Cydoor has all of this set up, and they also have established relationships with advertisers. Advertising is their full-time job, whereas we prefer not to deal with this stuff.

So, that's the story. We were also never claiming that Cydoor did not keep track of its views/click throughs, etc. There would be absolutely no way for Cydoor to sell advertising if that were the case. It does detailed reporting, again, just like the banner at the top of this page does detailed reporting.

Angry $8.50 isnt that much to pay for this decent product

*OK* so limewire is gpled.... but hey you know what? 8.50 is *not* a lot to pay for such a great product. not only is limewire the leading developer of the gnutella network.. they have diligently and continuously updated their product.. limewire has improved immensely in reliability since the 1.X days... i download sooo much stuff .. and u know what? 8.50 is NOT a lot of money folks.... thats what? two value meals at taco bell? .. quit being so cheap people honestly.. they could charge 30+ $'s.... I Paid for limewire pro and i have no complaints
