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.

Something happened and two of the main developers, Shaun and Lev, resigned in December.

im probly gonna get flamed for this but ive been on gnutella for about two years i was an avid user of gnotella and of peeranha i had tried earlier versions of bs and lw i liked gnotella for what best suited me then came the spyware wars. i had stayed away from even trying these clients im not a programmer just a plain ole user but in the advent of gnotella and peeranha i was forced to try some others. i finnaly broke down and tried bs i am amazed at the improvements there has been alot of work put in it i think its really good if only gnucleus had some of the features that perrana and gnotella did id be using them so far this looks like bs the best client for me
p.s. i installed it and chose not to partisipate in the spyware and ran the latest adaware on my system came out clean
i do feel as a betrayer of opensourse but it is the better mousetrap in my opinion

What is your opinion about Kazaa. Sorry to ask this, but I'm new to all of this gnutella and p2p stuff.

I've only tried audiogalaxy, morpheus (old and pe) and now i started to use kazaa.

Its interface is similar to previous morpheus, with audio, video and so on user friendly search filters, plus the ability to search by all, artist or title (in the audio section). Morpheus used to have this too but the new preview edition is very similar to Gnucleus: they put all in the same search list, audio, video, text, software, you name it.

For a person mainly interested in audio and video, like myself, one would apreciate a user friendly interface with such search options.

I never tried limewire or bearshare, so i don't know how do they look like nor work.

The only thing i dislike about kazaa is that i didn't see yet a single mp3 file with more than 128 kbps. I do prefer 160 and sometimes even 192 kbps, but now i don't see none on the net.

Give me your opinion as i see, from what i've read here, you all are experts in these matters.

For videos you should try eDonkey:

For MP3s try Song Spy:

http://www.zeropaid.com/songspy/

Song Spy bundles a software called n-case if you want to delete it use ad-aware:

http://www.cnet.com/software/0-806181-8-7309404-1.html

Morpheus is not only similar to Gnucleus, they use the source code from Gnucleus - the only change is that they added some banners!

I've never tried Song Spy (I'll have to check it out,) but for mp3s I usually go with audiogalaxy (with the AGStreme interface.)

I don't know first hand about videos, but I hear Kazaa lite is good for those.

And there is always eDonkey to fall back on when you can't find what you're looking for anywhere else.

Audiogalaxy has spyware and kazaa has a distributed computing client that will hog your cputime, hd space, and bandwidth. Dont' use them

The reason why it doesn't appear in the poll is because Kazaa is not a GN client, nor are eDonkey or SongSpy. I'm not saying these programs suck though.
