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.

Angry Xolox being discontinued!!!!?!!

I booted up Xolox this morning to receive the message that Xolox was being discontinued as of 12/1.

DAMNIT. I've only been using Xolox for about a month, but recognized the framework as the saviour of p2p bandwidth and stability problems.

What gives? Who is suing you guys?

Unhappy decentral p2p????

as far as i know, gnutella is a decentral p2p protocoll, that means that there is no server you can shut down.

so i am a bit confused that you want to discontinue xolox and not only stop programming.

and what about stopping the development and release the source code as open source....

xolox is the best gnutella client that i know. it would be very bad for me if it wouldn't work any more...

If WinMX 3.0 ever comes out and it's as good as they say it should be, I won't miss XoloX one bit.

Read the current startmessage from XoloX here:

Some more links, a dutch court has cracked down Kazaa, Kazaa and Xolox come both from the Netherlands:

I'm wondering if it really will stop. They "ask" us not to start new downloads after that time. Perhaps this is just legal CYA. "Well Judge, We did what we could and we asked them to stop..."

Personally I don't see how Gnutella is at risk since it is a completely decentralized system. Napster was centralized and it died. Kazaa is mostly decentralized but they switched to central user authentiation recently (mostly to knock out non-licensed clients like the Open Source Linux client). This is where they made their mistake.

I seems to be that the RIAA has only attached centrally managed systems and I don't see how a Gnutella client is at risk. After all, the client is not good or evil, it depends on how it is used.

Well, that's the $64k question. Does the Xolox client contact the Xolox servers at some point, to get hosts or something .. obviously, it is grabbing that notice that appears on the Search page from somewhere on the net. What happens when that http GET fails?

I guess I'm more concerned about how Xolox gets its host file. Most p2p programs go out to some service, like connect1.bearshare.net or some such. Dunno how Xolox gets theirs.

Question Xolox automatic updater?

Xolox has the ability to download updates when they become available. If they are forced to stop all xolox clients, they might build this into a new final update. The file downloaded is called xoloxupdate.bin It searches for xolox.exe, and uses the downloaded bin file to update it. I suggest you rename xolox.exe to something else and set it to read only just as a precaution....
