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.

nnicc is flying high
Confused did i get scammed?

sorry if this has been covered anywhere,but i can't find it after a lot of reading
on 2/27/09 i purchased limewire pro 5 0 11
i have clickbank numbers and credit card info to offer as proof
worked fine
last night,4/1/09 i got an email from customer@limewirepro.com
in the hotmail acct i believe i used to do the transaction with limewire
it offered a free upgrade to limewire pro6.0,with all kinds of upgrade blahblah
it used my real name,and the acct,so i assumed it was real
it gave a link for the download

DO NOT CLICK THIS COPY/PASTE LINK UNLESS YOU'RE SOME KINDA TECH GUY THAT KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS!!!!!!!

Code:
Sleepless edit: wrapped in code text for the people who read "Don't click here" as some kind of challenge.

hxxp://www.rmtsupport.com/download/upgrade.php?=LimewirePro6
i dl'd it and installed
it said removing previous files and all that stuff
when i opened it i came up as limewire 4.1.6,or something like that,the look was older and before i could even try it out my computer totally froze up
i could move the mouse cursor but couldn't do anything else. kinda dead i'd call it
i rebooted manually a couple of times and it was all the same thing
i'm at the desktop,the stuff bottom right that always opens opens(avg anti virus,spamfighter,spybot tea timer spyware monitor,the volume controll i can never seem to get rid of.)
at that point it goes frozen
mouse cursor moves but doesn't work,hot keys on board,mail,and webhome which opens ie 8 don't function either
i realize that if i click avg antivrius before all the loading is finished i can get it running,which i do
full system scan
nothing but some tracking cookies
no virus found
this morning i tried again with the anti virus but even that freezes before finishing
i rebooted into safe mode and got to system restore,knocked it back to two days ago and it,the computer seems to work fine
i did another avg system scan.nothing
i attempted,with trepidation,to open limewire
wont start,says missing or something
i looked in program files and the limewire folder is still there,but the subfolders seem to be empty
i might have the installer somewhere,probably in my documents,as i save all that kinda stuff,but i can;t seem to find it
i've been all over the limewire site but i can't even seem to find a way to contact anyone there because when i try to get tech support it just redirects me to the download page

thus,my first post
system info
six week old computer
amd 2.7gig cpu
4 gig crucial high performance memory
300 gig hd,60 in c drive,the rest in j.storage
ie 8
gigabyte mobo
not sure what version of java but it must be the latest as i dl'd an auto upgrade about a week ago
i will be coming back here to check for help on a regular basis,but even if you don't have advise,at least someone give me a way to contact someone

thanks

limewirepro.com is a scam site leeching of the success Limewire has. I just added it to the huge list of scamsites around http://www.gnutellaforums.com/315527-post56.html

Dispute any charges made by them. And since it sounds like their software is completely virus ridden you should find out which and demand recompensation for lost work etc.

Info here might help: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...c-members.html

oh and http://www.justaddcommerce.com/Contact%20Us.html Looks like they do more than web design now.

thanks
i called my bank and they directed me to an 800 number for clickbank,which handled the transaction
disputing the charge would entail an actual visit to the local office and cancelling my card so i called the clickbank number,got a human and surprisingly was told i'd get a refund within 5/7 days
when i asked just who they represented i was told nineenter.com
i also went to the limewire site and looked at 'download limewire pro' page and it sure looked like what i thought i had used to make the one year pro deal for 34.95
so i guess i'll wait for the refund,go delete uninstall whatever is in the supposed limewire folder,run some more virus/spyware scans and hope for the best
if i get the money back i'll come here to ask someone to give me a link to the real limewire
thanks sleepless

Make sure you have used LW before, use LW Basic in the meantime. That way you will know of any problems it might have. For example, several people are downgrading back to LW 4 due to LW 5 causing problems or just because of its changes .. such as less tools than LW 4. LW 5 dropped many tools & has not re-introduced them back yet, most tools probably not until later in year.

Pro is best for finding the harder to find stuff. Due to some small improvements in the search engine & also connecting to more ultrapeers, suggests more chance of finding rarer material. Ten compared to 8 potential download hosts per file suggests it should be faster also. However, you can do just as well with Basic, especially if you are only seeking popular files.
