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.

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. |

 Is Gnutella Dying? I've heard from a few friends in the file sharing world that Gnutella is losing its popularity... Give me your opinion.  |

 Well, Gnutella's popularity has in some way been decaying, especially taking into account its popularity when Napster became obsolete, but it's certainly not dying. The worst enemy (now that I think of it, enemy may not be the most appropiate word) of Gnutella are its own users. If we don't share and we don't accept incoming connections we will be harming the network. Ivan "In the dark we make a brighter light"

| Maybe this forum isnt that popular maybe because of other *** that are avaible.. Gnutella is more popular than ever.. Maybe some of the programs that were getting alot of hype has died down but that doesnt mean that the rest of the network is unpopular.. I dont think that one or two things could be contributed to any file sharing programs demise. I dont really agree with backmann's point that users are hurting the network by not accepting incoming connections because many users dont have any control or that or the knowledge to work their firewall to allow traffic. As for sharing its always a problem for someone but i dont think that the amount of sharing is dangerously low or anything.. The main thing that does hurt gnutella is people who use outdated servents. Gnutella is only as good as the software thats running it. Last edited by Morgwen; September 14th, 2002 at 01:36 PM. |

| Limewire statistics are around 4 times less than the actual number of hosts.. More information can be found in this GDF post about a month ago. So the actual number of hosts on gnutella when i posted this is around 600,000. |

| I wasn't talking about the hosts. I was talking about the proportion hosts/hosts accepting incoming connections, which wouldn't vary much from the one at limewire.com. Ivan "In the dark we make a brighter light"

 Keep it on topic. I don't think servers were in the discussion. Perhaps the quantity of servers would be an convincing arguement as to the demise or lack thereof? Who thinks so? |

 Yup. I know gnutella uses a decentralized system... But how many clients are there? Millions? Thousands? Surely a chart can show a decrease or an increase? |

| I mean servers, of course... but nonetheless... Theres got to be number to substantiate either direction. Up or down? Whats your opinion? What do you think could cause a decline or what do you think could cause an increase of usage...  |
