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 All of a sudden I can't connect

Up untill yesterday I could connect and use Limewire with pretty good success. Now all of a sudden it either crashes on startup or loads but doesn't connect. I haven't added any new software nor done anything unusual to my DV 400 iMac with 192 MB Ram. I have followed
advice that I see posted on this forum, but nothing is working for me yet. Any ideas?

Default limewire crashes

I am still running limewire fine from a zip disk the problem is not 0s 9.2 or world events i think limewire 1.6 has a programming error and needs rewriting.

If you have a zip drive log on to your provider click the limewire installer and select your zip drive as the place to install too by clicking choose button on the instalation screen.

use a blank formatted zip and you can download upto 90mb of information the startup screen is slow but if you are patient the programme loads and runs without any extra memory being required simply dragging files out of the shared folder onto your hard drive and then deleting the files in the shared folder on the zip disk gives you all the download space back.

I am geussing but I think the limewire programme is having trouble locating a port on our hard drives to connect through and that the zip solution is being read as a second drive. Someone will soon figure this out and update limewire to 1.7 or 1.8 I hope.

Ditto what everyone else has said. I am on a G4 500 with 640MB RAM running OS 9.1 on a T1 connection. I was using an older version of LimeWire.Yesterday was my first attempt to connect to Lime Wire in a week or so. I was able to connect to LimeWire, but when I attempted to switch from "search" to "connections" to "monitor", LimeWire would freeze. I just downloaded and installed the most recent version of LimeWire and cannot launch it without freezing. I hope someone finds a solution to this.

I have had the same problems for a week now. But a couple of times I got a message that said the port could not be found. I also can't connect thru Mactella or MacSatellite. My friend with a PC has no problems with Limewire right now. Is there generic problem with Mac access to Gnutella?

I started this thread about Limewire and I still can't connect a week later. However, I now can easily connect ( about 75 % of the time which seems pretty good to me) with Mactella, which used to be impossible for me. Again, I have not added any new software nor hardware. I know this doesn't help, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still here and appreciate the replies.

Default Possible Answer?

I got it to work today! I did the same thing as usual, it looked like nothing was going to happen. Then I got busy with something else for about half an hour. When I came back, it was up and running fine. I searched and downloaded a tune just like normal. Maybe it just takes a long time to connect. Unlike Mactella.

I am having the same problems, either the program crashes immediately after it is loaded and i have to restart the computer, or it will give the tease and then crash. have you all just gone to Mactella? I just don't want to waste my time and have that do the same thing. Can you just transfer your library from limewire to Mactella, once you download Mactella?
