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. |

 Limewire Pirate problem hi there - new member with a dumb problem. i uninstalled old limewire program and installed the limewire pirate edition and it worked fine... my problem is after computer has been shut down (program closed) etc - when i go to open limewire pirate (either by clicking on icon or selecting in programs) it takes me to the old Limewire edition 4.16 which i know i uninstalled.... it does this every time. what am i doing wrong? i actually had this same problem with earlier limewire updates.....after new version had been downloaded and program had been shut off it would always take me back to the older version 4.16 that i had originally downloaded. anybody have an idea?  |

| You could start by deleting LW's preferences folder. Check this link for info: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/welcom...tml#post363137 If you still have no joy, try using CCleaner: CCleaner - Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download And if you're still stuck after all that, check this link for another possible fix:http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...ys-starts.html  |

Here's a starting point: If LW 5 Will Not Connect After all, this thread Topic is about *LimeWire Pirate Edition*, not the standard LimeWire versions. Those questions are answered here LimeWire: Connection Problems  |

| What's weird is, I'm hosting the main amount of mirrors, and even my god damn LimeWire isn't working! I've tried diabling OOB, but that didn't seem to work. I thought it was my firewall because I reformatted three times last night (7 > vista > ubuntu > XP > vista> 7) (please don't ask or remind me LOL) so I disabled it after I remembered (my firewall is always disabled) *watches as packets are spammed to me* (GL). no but really, I'm not quite sure what's going on. but I'm about to follow that if LW5 does not connect thread. okay, just tried ALL of those methods. NOTHING will work. and this has had to be going on for more than a week. because I had a friend install limewire and it didn't work. no go on girlfriends laptop either. she's a mac, I'm a PC.

| hmm Well I just connected quickly, on Mac. I noticed you posted here via Optimum Online. They have had a past history of blocking LW in some of their areas of operation. If this is all happening in your area & all are using the same ISP, this 'might' be why. Check OOL here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-limewire.html perhaps experimenting with connecting to a high range port 'might' fix this. Worth a try. Let's hope they are not using another filtering technique if they are responsible for your connection problems. I guess proxy is always a possibility but not easy & can be unreliable. Tor is supposedly very good. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...imewire-3.html |

| lol wtg. Hope it sticks .. even when you do eventually reboot, etc. One thing about LW 5 & LPE is, if you don't use it for a while, it auto removes the connection list. File_Girl has created a fix for this, but not released it yet. |
