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.

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.

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. |

 Good heavens! Well, it doesn't seem to me that Morgwen has been so rude. He was inviting to give suggestions, which is a constructive intention. Maybe he does not speak (nor I do  ) as a queen of the XVIII century, but i would not call him a troll for this.Carlo  |

| I just want to chime in that we should all try to be as friendly as possible about all of this (echoing Carlo) -- it's already a little pathetic that we all spend so much time on this forum (I know I've posted on several Saturday nights!), but let's not let it degrade to personal attacks on each other, ok? From my perspective, what we're talking about is too important -- gnutella and it's success or failure is too important -- to allow personal differences to consume all of our energy. Regarding the spyware issues, I just want to point out that all of the spyware is optional on the install, so the analogy above does not really work aside from the good point by an earlier contributor mentioning that you are being given the house for FREE! Cydoor is not an optional install, but Cydoor does not collect any information about you -- it's just an ad-engine. There's a helluva big difference in my mind. This is more like buying a TV for your house (displays ads) -- a pretty common practice in my experience =). Last edited by afisk; December 13th, 2001 at 08:28 AM. |

| I wouldn't mind paying it. But it's so easy to remedy yourself, I'm just going to get rid of the ads on my own. Has anyone noticed that Aureate is being installed with 1.9 and 2.0 betas? I am, and someone else I know is too. I don't see any warning in the installation, or a license agreement either. :-|.............. |

| Just to follow up on this, we looked into the Aureate issue in more detail. It turns out that the Cydoor installer is installing a directory called "AdCache" in the system32 folder. This is just a little cache to make the ads display more efficiently. Apparently, however, this is the same directory name that Aureate uses, and Ad-Aware incorrectly flags it as an Aureate file. It's really just a part of the Cydoor ads engine. |

| How about a completely diffrent aproach : You currently have 8 banners circulating how about making a dir on the limewire website and dump them in there : example http://www.limewire.com/ads/ and then number all ads like this inside that dir : ad01.gif ad02.gif ad03.gif ... Then built a routine inside LimeWire to download them all when it starts up , and display them randomly . (preffered) Or Make download it again everytime it changes the currently displaying ad . (not so preffered) Now with today's modern web-servers it wouldn't be that hard to count how much that file gets downloaded . Why use aurate / Cydoor / ... when you can simply make a routine to download the file from a regular webserver ? The main problem that the LimeWire team has with the ads is not displaying them to the people but proving to the ad-companies that they have been actually displayed or they won't get paid See Cydoor and Aurate don't only circulate the ads like the LimeWire crew claims but it also counts how long and how manny times the ad has been displayed . Who knows what their agreement with the ad companies is ? - fixed amount of $$ - $$ per download of ad - $$ per view of ad (best gues) - $$ per time ad is displayed - $$ per click exept for the first option all those arrangments need some kind of feedback to the ad-companies . When it downloads ads , we say : OK When it shows ads , we say : OK when it sends feedback of those ads : Alarm , red alert !! And that's why there are so much complaints on the forum about the ads . Most people don't mind the ads being showed . What they do mind is that "feedback" that programs like Cydoor and Aurate provide . So the questions is not : How do we get rid of the ads ? But : What other options then Spyware do we have to keep the ad firms happy and thus LimeWire paid ? Now you people say : Why don't we make LimeWire do this all itself ; display the ads and provide the feedback ? Because those big ad-firms won't trust LimeWire at that level , they won't say "You tell us how much ads you displayed this month and well pay you , no evidence needed to support that number . Gold bouillion or silver krougerrands this time ?" Spyware is completly developed sepperatly by the ad-firms . Then they give it to the LimeWire crew with instructions on how to insert it into the program . They don't get to change a single byte . If they would give the specifications of the online and server end of the spyware , LimeWire would gladly accept that arrangement and write their own ad-code into LimeWire . But no , like I said the ad firms don't trust LimeWire on that level and won't let them write their own code for the feedback . So their stuck with the spyware that their ad firm provides . Wich usually does nasty things we don't like . "So , go with another ad firm !" That would be the most logical thing to conclude . But have you looked at the list of spyware recently ? It's thaaat long ... Good luck finding an ad firm wich doesn't force spyware onto LimeWire . |
