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.

Installanywhere Problem

Question Can't Install; Installanywhere installer not found

I get this error message when I try and install to my Ibook with OS 9.2.2 that it can't install b/c it can't find "Installanywhere installer". When I looked on the internet to download it, I couldn't find it one that fixed the problem.

Anyone know how to get around this, or get a free version of Installanywhere that could open the limewire install?

I would suggest re-downloading the installer. I don't think that there's an InstallAnywhere program to download. I think it's part of the installer. There may have just been a problem with it.

Default Mac Installation problem

I have downloaded the bin file several times now. Unfortunately I then cannot get it to open in order to complete the installation - thge warning comes up that the application programme that created it cannot be found. I am rapidly losing my patience - any suggestions? The Mac is an iMac running OS9.2

What happens when you drop the .bin file onto the latest version of stuffit expander? Might the ability to unstuff .bin files have become unchecked in the stuffit expander preferences? If your stuffit won't expand other .sit or .bin files, perhaps reinstall stuffit?

I assume you are booted up in OS 9 (not Classic/ OSX).

Cheers--and good luck. These problems can be aggravating!

Thanks very much for your reply - which is, of course the solution! I was also advised to do the same by my 15 year old son - with immediate and effective results. It has been a Homer Simpson experience for me!
Thanks again.

Stuck, What installer did you download? Try to download LimeWire again from the link in my signature. Hope this helps.

Cool

Hello!

All I know is that the LimeWire teams uses the application InstallAnywhere from Zero G's version 5.06 Enterprise build 1671 to create the installers.

http://www.zerog.com/index.html

However that is not required to open a finished LW installer. All that you have to do is to drop the downloaded LimeWire bin file ontop of Stuffit Expander (version 6.5 or later is required) icon on your desktop and it will drop a functional installer on your desktop that you can execute and install LW from.

If it does not work then you have either downloaded the wrong version of LW that is not for your system. If that is the case then you have to download the proper version from LW's site. Another possibility is that your download became corrupt and a few bits got lost during transfer. If that is the case then you have to trash it and once again download a new copy and hopefully you will get a functional installer.

And as I mentioned you have to use atleast version 6.5 of Stuffit Expander to open it so check the version you are using. If you are using a version that is 6.5 or above then it is probably the other problems mentioned in my post or in the posts above that is the cause of your problem.

Another possibility is that you downloaded LW from another place other then LW's site http://www.limewire.com

Maybe you have recieved some kind of developer version of LW. Make sure that you download LW from LW's site.
