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. |

| How much did you pay? Have you used Limewire before? Were you hoping to get Limewire or Live wire? Where EXACTLY did you pay for it?

| Pro Version I paid 52 dollars for reg version and pro upgrade. I googled for winmx.com and it switched me to a site to purchase Lime Wire.So I did and Then I found I did not get the pro upgrade. I'm starting to think there is a site out there charging people for Lime wire. I was not familiar with the site so I bought a subscription. Sorry for the problems and blaming Live wire. I guess I was scammed, but not from lime wire. |

| Sorry ... you have been scammed. You should get onto you credit card company and try to stop the payment, and more important cancell your card as who knows what else they may try to take off you. Then go to http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml where you can download LW for free in it's basic form. If you are happy you can upgrade to pro and you will IMHO get better connections and that will cost $18.88 for 6 months of updates and support. Good luck and apology accepted  Always be careful before parting with money on the net. Many application companies allow at least a free trial period and Limewire offers more. Don't pay until you're sure! |

| Purchased pro and it don't work I recently purchased the upgrade limewire pro for 18.88 and the dang thing will not work at all. I keep getting a message saying (limewire was unable to initialize and start,This is usually due to a firewall program blocking limewires access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine.Please allow lime wire access to the internet and restart limewire.) I have a firewall in my computer but I have limewire added to the allow list,so why will it not work or open up? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it several times and still nothing. I have tried emailing tech support and no one will reply,this is starting to really **** me off here. I paid for a upgrade that is crap I should have stuck to the old version at least it worked.And now since I paid for the upgrade it won't even let me put the free version in my computer temporarily til someone contacts me if they ever do.Customer support is really bad,I have emailed several times and have yet to get a reply from anyone,I am ready to ask to be refunded. |

| Hi BeckyW Hmmm don't know which flavor of windows you are using or service pack. But If it is windowsXP sp2 it has a firewall, and I'm not sure if you have another firewall besides that. It's not good to run 2 firewalls at the same time. They have a tendency to conflict with each other. Also when you did allow access did you allow access for both TCP and UDP both. This sometimes causes a similar problem. Hi Grandpa you beat to the button  |
