Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Everyone that has been scammed and have not cancelled their credit cards should read this article, it makes interesting yet frightening reading. It also shows what could happen to your credit card details once they are in the hands of crooks.

Angry HOLY **** I got scamed?????

I just found out I was scamed and I'm not happy. I paid something like $25.00 for a liftime membership and it s worh squat! Great! the site was themusicmembersarea.com and they have a bunch of downloads like limewire, 360 sharepro, and winmx, just to name a few. Now I just bought a new computer with vista on it and I can not get either one to work and wondered if maybe that had something to do with it?

Default rip off scam

I signed up and paid at the limewire site. Now 4 months later I am being charged by a MPMUSICHQ-COM out of CA. I can't hardly understand the foreign recording nor could I hardly understand the foreign customer service agent. Who assured me that I signed up for their service when I purchased limewire. Ironically they know my username and password and I have never tried to contact limewire until now. It says my username and password are invalid. ???? It is the original username and password I used when I signed up and the only e-mail address that I have. ??? They assured me they are the ONLY technical service for limewire but they were going to quit charging me. OH joy. thanks a bunch now that you already have. And that I could continue to enjoy my lifetime membership.??? Something ain't right boys. I cannot find anywhere on the website how to contact limewire otherwise. Anyone got a phone number for them out there? I have the original limewire receipt when I purchased but it doesn't have a phone number either . Now what???

you've been scammed. you purchased "limewire pro" from another site other then http://limewire.com

change your credit card #s because these people are international criminals scamming people. uninstall the software too, and do viruses scans. if u still want limewire pro, or limewire, go to http://www.limewire.com

Trevor

no what I am telling you is I DID purchase directly from limewire pro.
Have the receipt and all right here in front of me. Ordered it last
year. Use it constantly. No problems. All of a sudden, someone has my
info and is charging me for obvious bs. So now what? I am going to
cancel my card but in the mean time how did they get my info from
limewire? They knew that I had a lifetime membership and even my order
number and e-mail address. Without me volunteering any information. I went directly to the limewire site when I
ordered it. ????? No problems until now. How do you contact limewire?
Thanks

Question confused

I purchased the limewire pro and it seems everyone can download from me, but I am not getting hardly any complete downloads. Before I was using the basic version and had no problem. Can anyone help here I am really new at this I downloaded some movies 2 to be exact and clearly I didn't understand what I was doing. I only got part of the movie and it would go back to the same frame once in a while, the other one did not copy the whole movie. What should I be looking at before I download? Can anyone help thank you?

hey that is scarrey you purchased directly from the limewire site and you are still being scammed. Contact them it must be illegal for them to keep charging you. I just purchased the pro version so I hope they are honest otherwise who will want to download the pro version if they aren't up front, I have 6 months membership. There was no life time membership offered.
