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.

Smile putting download movie's to DVD

what would be the best program to use to convert these files so that I can burn them to a DVD and be able to watch them on our DVD recorder. From what I have been reading, the advance x video converter looks to be fairly good but they also want you to buy it so I guess my next question is, is there any programs out there like that, that you can use that you do not have to buy. It anyone could help me out with this it would be GREAT.

Smile Thank you lord

I just want to thank you for your help but as you know I am new at all this and I am trying to understand it all but i still have a few questions as stupid as they may sound. but 1] is how do i know what the nearest mirror is to download on the media player that you have talked about and 2] could you tell me the best format to use when taking a movie that I have downloaded to put onto a DVD. I download the following avi, mpeg and mpg. Will all these download or burn to a DVD so that we can watch them on our DVD player? Once again thank you so much for all the help that you have given me................................

1. When you click on download you will be sent to a page which has mirror sites in different countries. It really doesn't matter which one you choose. They're all the same.
2. All those formats are fine. Just make sure you have a decent burner program that can convert them such as the latest & full versions of Nero or Roxio easy creator, etc.

Smile Thanks guys

I just wanted to say thanks for all your help and I do have a little better understanding with all that I have been reading and the sites that I have gone to, but I was on here once reading and ran across a forum where someone had asked about how to save on the drive space and now I cannot find it so I want to ask,,, everytime I download a song or movie is it taking up space on my hard drive and is there anything I can do to keep that from happening . I know you can save it all to a dvd or cd but i was just wondering how much space is it taking up on my drive., I realize that probably depends on how much I am downloading and the size............ so what can I do about it taking up a lot of hard drive space..............anything...........

The average mp3 takes up between 4 to 6 MB. So divide that no. into 1,000 & that will give an idea about how many songs you can fit per GB of hard disk space (about 250 songs.) If you have space problems then why not get an xtra hard disk drive. They're much cheaper nowadays. Or even an external HDD. If you're worried about downlding taking up space then you obviously sound as though you don't share much either.

If you downld a movie, well it will be about cd size so about 600 to 700 MB for reasonable quality. You should burn to cd & create a vcd & delete the movie after burning. Likewise for music.

Smile Thanks Lord

You are right drives now days are not all that expense and nor are they that hard to install, You did answer the question that i think i was trying to ask and that is once i burn a movie to a dvd and delete it if it will free up space or if it will remain on there.. And if i am understanding you right it will free up space,The other is yes i have a file open for sharing but like a lot of other people I am still having a hard time getting full songs to download and getting a full movie.......... but i will get it all figured out and thanks once again for all your help

Many... TOO MANY... of the conversion applications do NOT delete or clear the TEMP files that they must create during the conversion process...

Be sure to look for those TEMP files and delete them manually if necessary...

Of course, Do Not do this if you wish to make more than one copy of the same file/disc.
