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.

Question is there a way to have it go through AOL LAN?

I'm not very internet ports and connection saavy so small words and possibly use of screen shots to answer me would be helpful.

I looked through a few of the ports related threads and felt ignorant and dumb... so I'm hoping the answer to my question wasn't in them.

I am on a very picky college's network and their firewall is VERY picky about filtering things. They filtered out use of file sharing programs because people were using it to d/l porn...

Whenever I need to get around the firewall to see a site (most art sites are blocked because of nudity) I can open up AOL LAN and get around the firewall - is there any way to tell limewire to connect through AOL LAN instead of straight through the LAN connection??

or, what should I change in the settings that will most likely get around the block in the college's firewall??

if I am in anyway in the wrong catagory or am asking something I shouldn't I apologize, as I mentioned I feel very ignorant in this area...

I hardly use AOL to be honest, I fully agree with AOHELL ...

but if I can use it to get around my college's firewall then so be it.

I used to use it through dial up but have decided no one calls my apt phone - everyone calls my cell so I got rid of my phone service

AOL is good in short bursts but if one must depend soley on it for internet access I have a great pity for them

I dont trust AOL at all, even i never use it. I already know the Dark Side of AOL, very evil, below evil than Microsoft. It a good thing that Time Warner is about to let AOL go. Time Warner is a great cable company, but why need to own AOL? so now they going to let go

there is way to get around the firewall, it call a proxy.

Just get the aol ip adress that you have on your computer and then paste it on your p2p client connection option. make sure you have all the info of ip adress, with default gateway and subnet mask. if your AOL have SOCKS, then get SOCKS too

Proxy is just full of ip address that anyone is free to use. Sometime most of the free proxy is taken, so some company charge you to get a better free proxy.

For AOL part, i have no freaking clue how to get the ip address. If you connect to AOL right now, then go to Start on the desktop, then click RUn, type "cmd" (XP) pr "command" (older windows) without the quotes then enter. then the DOS screen will appear. Then type "ipconfig" without the quote, then enter.. VOLIA!! your ip address should appear with default gateway and the subnet mask.

If the ip address is 0.0.0.0 then i dont know how to get AOL's ip address. im sure one of the AOLer is still lurking around in this forum should know

Oh dear...... this is not what i expected. LimeWire Proxy is different than other.

But there is way, just dail up your AOL and connect to AOL, then fire up your LimeWire. LimeWire should use AOL ip address since it tend to connect directly to the internet. SInce oyu still have AOL signed on, then LimeWire can use AOL's ISP to connect to the internet without a problem
