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. |

 LimeWire Goes Open-Source <a href="http://www.gnutellanews.com/article.html?id=5747">http://www.gnutellanews.com/article.html?id=5747</a><br><br><br>From the <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/message/">Gnutella Developer Forum</a>:<p><blockquote>GDF,<p>I'm proud to announce that LimeWire has gone open source under the GPL license and <a href="http://www.limewire.org">http://www.limewire.org</a> is open. We may not have worked out all of the kinks in the site but what the heck. There is only one way to find out.<p>As you all know, LimeWire has wanted to provide a quality reference implementation for the proposals that we have been suggesting and implementing. We have also felt that there must be an open implementation underlying the Gnutella protocol for Gnutella to become a fundamental technology of the internet. Academics and all developers should have a baseline core engine and client that they can experiment with and base their work on. What attracted us to Gnutella is that it was an open protocol and free for all to use. We reject closed protocols such as FastTrack/Kazaa/Morpheus.<p>At the same time, we have seen the vitality in the Gnutella community. From developers to users and supporters in general, there is a great deal of interest and energy. However, in the developer community there has not been a great deal of code sharing. There are many of us building duplicate functionality in both open and closed source clients. We hope to bring like-minded developers together at LimeWire.org for the benefit of the whole Gnutella community. It is our intention to move forward at a much faster speed to fulfill Gnutella's potential. We welcome all who wish to help build Gnutella's future. LimeWire looks forward to exploring many potential uses and improvements to a Gnutella based P2P system. We can discuss further specifics on our LimeWire.org mailing lists.<p>I look forward to hearing your feedback.<p>Thanks<br>-greg</blockquote>  |

 Wow - Great move! That's fantastic news - especially considering LimeWire is perhaps *the* leading G-Net peer. I think opening the code of such a good example will really help other peers' protocol implementation. P.S. What's the deal with SwapNut - it appears to be using code very similar to LimeWire, but they're doing some things that make me a bit nervous. |

| This is a terrific move by limewire, one that will bring the gnutella community closer together; and a move that hopefully other developers will follow in the near future. |

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...?threadid=3860 Even if it's not true spamming (since the user is asked) - the program is target towards newbies, and many may not understand that "inform your friends" really means "Spam everyone in your address book". This kind of marketing is likely to cause UCE complaint to ISPs and result in people's accounts being pulled. Plus just the general way their home page never mentions Gnutella by name (as if they want to hide that from their users). They just say they use a "major" file sharing network. I hope this isn't another attempt by a company to co-opt the g-net at the expense of the other peers. At least by using LW's code it has a good, reliable base to build from. |

| Limewire goes open source, that is amazing news! wow. great move, really. but when i tried to actually download the lime code it seemed to me that there were no source code archives available, one is to use either cvs or to download every single file (really annoying)... are you going to submit archives containing the gui and core source code of the latest version, 1.7 ? I've always been a java enthusiast and have never seen a java program as advanced as Limewire, i would love to see the source code. |

| this rules, now if someone can just add functionality to search other peoples hard drives to find people with similar tastes and then automatically download files from thoes computers when your not actively at your computer i think this could revolutionize the exchange of information , and have as important an impact on humanity as the invention of writing. |
