Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Default Should I upgrade to Pro? Please share your advice!!

Hey everyone! long time no see lol

Considering you guys were so kind the last two times I decided to come back and ask what are your opinions on me upgrading to pro, and I have a few questions about it.

If I upgrade to Limewire Pro:

* Are the chances of me being caught higher or lower? (I live in Australia, and I've never even heard of someone being caught, but still I'd hate to be fined millions of dollars)
* If I pay for Pro through Paypal, is there any way of being caught? As Paypal would see what I was buying?
* How much faster are the downloads?
* Is it worth the $18?
* Does the upgrade last forever or is it for a limited time?
* If Limewire Pro is updated to 5 point whatever hahaha, can I download the update for free, or do I have to pay another $18

Please tell me what your thoughts on Downloading Limewire Pro are! I'd really like faster downloads

Thanks Heaps guys!

Probably the same...many people use p2p apps legally, plus, there aren't that many cases of people getting busted...hard to say.

Quote:

Same chances of 'getting caught' buying a gun with Paypal...again, many legal uses.

Quote:

The downloads aren't faster AFAIK...but you may get better search results.

Quote:
Is it worth the $18?
I think so. And I haven't heard anyone else gripe (unless they can't get the program to work!)

Quote:

Your program will always be the 'Pro' version.
Quote:

You can get free updates for 6 months...after that you have to pay another $18...You might start to wonder, "Is it worth it?" Yes. Of course it is.

Hope this helps

Dano

P.S. Please remove the reference to copywrited material from your post...we don't want people getting the wrong idea about what we use Limewire for!

i just downloaded pro form limewire and it works perfectly. I dont think anything you can get for free is worth 18 bucks. Its seems as if i can download faster i thik you can download more files at a time or something. If anyone knew you had limewire they wouldn't care. The people that are getting sued did illegal things with limewire. As soon as limewire upgrades some generous fellow will download it and let other pepole upload it form him or her so you dont have to worry anout upgrades.

Hurray for freeloading

Default Oh!! Its Sue me Sue you Berk, Oh! sorry Bert.

Well Berk.

Do you think you will be able to sue LimeWire for downloading a VIRUS with
your stolen Program.?
It pleases me to hear your stupid enough to D/L exe files, Cos that tells me
you will get what you deserve.A Malware/Worm filled version that will kill your
computer when you re start it.
Spammers perposly put bogus LimeWire Pro files out there just for idiots like
you, that think they will get something for nothing,
There's One born every day.
Peace.
