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 LimeWire16d118.exe

Worked great. I was using the 1.6d version and was getting an error that it could not find an open port. I uninstalled that and installed the 16d118.exe and it works just like it should. Thanks for the info.

Angry Re: Problems Still

This is exactly the problem I am having except I have only been using version 1.4b for a few months now and nothing else but that. Nothing has changed at all. I have a local Internet provider ( http://www.xecu.net/ ) with the local switch about twenty minutes away. A trace to my local ISP shows four hops with 92 milliseconds as the fastest response time and the longest being 118 milliseconds. Now, that's on a dial-up modem... Connection speed is 53333bps. Everything was fine until like this past week I guess when I started the thing up and suddenly it tries to connect to those two hosts but eventually fails. This machine is running Windows 98 (4.10.3110). No I don't have any problems with my other Internet connections. If I did, how would I be able to post on here.. I do not have any firewalls running at all and nothing has been changed on this end.. So someone try and figure that one out. Maybe my ISP blocked me from using it or some s-h-i-t (Damnit, I am soooo anti-censorship!!).

Hi guys. I have tried all three versions of Lime Wire, 1.4, 1.6d AND the 1.6118. What happens is this:

1. In Connections, router.limewire.com comes up in the connected hosts screen & disappears after 10 seconds or so, then
2. gnutella.com comes up in the screen and disappers, too.

It never says that I connected. I am on a LAN, and my AOL & MSN Instant Messenger work fine. I am on Win Me. Any help that could be posted would be GREAT! - Thanks, James Hearn

Default Figures....

After I b-i-t-c-h-e-d about it and add those auto-connect hosts (see below) to the list, it works..

connect1.gnutellanet.com:6346

connect2.gnutellanet.com:6346

connect3.gnutellanet.com:6346

connect4.gnutellanet.com:6346



Took a while to get off it's a-s-s though.. Must be some local routing problems then due to the recent attacks.. *sighs* Stupid world.

Angry ........

Great, now it's sitting there saying "Connecting" with two different hosts... Shows the green dot as "Online" but next to that, it says "Disconnected / no files available".

Angry No, no, no..

Editing my post like that was a very bad idea. You do not want to p-i-s-s me off like that. You and your censorship can go to H-e-l-l.

Ooooh noooooooooo, I said a-s-s. I'm a very bad person now..

Gimme a break.

Please refrain from using that type of language. It is not appropriate here. People of all ages are using these forums, so please keep it clean and civil. If you truly didn't think it was
*bad*, you wouldn't have spelled out your vocabulary like t-h-i-s.
I won't edit any more of your messages. I'll trust you to do that on your own.

Thank you.
