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.

Default Has Morpheus become unpopular?

I've noticed that there's been little activity on the Morpheus forum in recent months. Has Morpheus fallen out of favor for any particular reason? It seems to offer a greater selection of files than does LimeWire. I can connect to Morpheus, but can't download from it. (Please see my forum entry on this.) Is there a common belief that Morpheus is simply too buggy?

I haven't checked your other post...

buuuut...
I don't really see how any one servlet can expect to get more results then any other when connected to the same network. Except in the case of clustering issues where you cannot expect to turn up results from hosts off your horizon which may be on other servlets all should perform roughly equal with similar searches. Even the clustering shouldn't affect it much, unless we assume that for whatever reasons people who use certain servlets have similar tastes in music. Which is doubtful.

I think there are several major reasons for morpheus' decline. One of course is that it is known to be buggy, but also as other clients improve and add new features certain clients may go through brief periods of decline. As well a lot of people base their client decisions off word of mouth and I haven't heard many good things about Morpheus lately. Shareaza seems to be leading in the race for new users, as well as Gnucleus and even Bearshare.

From a technical standpoint (which shouldn't account for very many users because most don't care about this stuff) I personally **hate** morpheus because so often people are running it in ultrapeer mode when they probably shouldn't be. I find that I am connecting to Morpheus ultrapeers far more often then I should based on the number I typically see as any other type of connection (as leaves, or even hosts downloading from me or uploading to me). The running as ultrapeers isn't really an issue, except it appears that most Morpheus ultrapeers do not allow many leaf connections, some have inadequate bandwidth to be ultrapeers, and there seems to be a lot more overhead in connections to them which I shouldn't be seeing (although I have heard that it was a known bug and has been or is being fixed).

Anyway, personally I'm not a very big fan of Morpheus but I understand that some people like it, and I'm not even sure if it is loosing users or not.

Yes I think so. Many people realized that Gnutella isn´t Fasttrack, many went back to Kazaa. The people who stayed within the Gnutella net tried a few other clients and saw that there are better ones without ads and other crapware.

As PapaSMURFFS said, Limewire and Morpheus are using the same network so you find the same files with both clients - I am not sure can you see in Morpheus from which client you are downloading? If not try one where you can see it (not Limewire or Bearshare they are clustering, they connect mainly to own nodes), you will see that there aren´t many Morpheus clients left.

One reason that I personally don't use Morpheus is because it comes bundled with two really nasty pieces of spyware and hijackware. Check out www.doxdesk.com on the parasites page and check out the wurld parasite which comes bundled with Morpheus. Really Nasty.

Yes its true, but the question was "is Morpheus fallen out of favour recently". Morpheus bundled spyware before they switched to Gnutella.

Actually the answer is yes.... and no. It has become very unpopular for those who know about p2p, but amongst beginners it is still very popular. It has thousands of downloads a week at download.com.

Morpheus is still downloaded over 300,000 times a week, so it is still a very popular client, Morpheus' bundled adware isnt as bad compared to the likes of BearShare, iMesh, grokster and Kazaa. Morpheus is also the 3rd most downloaded program on the internet with over 122,000,000 downloads!

This 'statement' is absolutely incorrect.
You make this comment with what must be total ignorance of the subject.
