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.

Default Why PAY FOR PRO?????

I love LimeWire. I've paid a few times now for the Pro versions. My firewalls don't block it, my version is current yet whenever I click on my LimeWire desktop icon to open the program and download the advantages for which I've paid every year -and been guaranteed I'd have faster download speeds and ultimate search results- I get only one bar of power.

Why do I pay for a lifetime when you ask me to pay every year and why every year, do I get no more than what I got when the program was free???

Like I said, I love LiveWire. But only when it works. Since I've been paying for the PRO version, I've been pushed to love you less.

Now tonight I click on the option to upgrade and I'm asked again to pay more.

WHY??? Why should I pay you more when you've yet to follow through with your obligation to me and my paid membership that in the past has promised me quality service?

Where the heck is the quality service?

Not trying to be a jerk about it, just really wanting what's fair and what I've paid for these past two years in "lifetime" membership, yet, have nothing in return from LimeWire but aggravation.

Where does it say 'Lifetime"? Can you show me please.
Are you using LimeWire or LiveWire?

Perhaps you might like to see this Known Scam Sites (click on link). The Official LW site does not mention 'Lifetime' membership at all. Nor do they advertise.

I've paid for LIMEWIRE via the LIMEWIRE site and it's upgrades. Not a scam.

Where does it say 'LifeTime'? They have customer support, go to their support page.
LW Pro can be purchased in 3 forms; (a) the default 6 months of updates & support, (b) Extended which is 12 months of updates & support. And another (c) which is a single cheaper offer which does not include updates or support. Those things are specified rather clearly on their site.

You only get one bar of power? You have a connection problem I am guessing, right?

Additonally, I'll be very happy to go back the two years and submit the necessary proof from my financial statements where LIMEWIRE was paid in full from my account. We both know however, that these two proofs of purchase do NOT say LIMEWIRE. Just as GNUTELLA does not spell out LIMEWIRE.

Nonetheless, with my upgrades in service for LIMEWIRE PRO, I'm still within a few months of expiration date to my second subscription.

I've had connection issues with LIMEWIRE, granted, and my qualm is every bit my fault as well. I'm merely trying to correct it and garner from LIMEWIRE what I subscribed under and have paid for...twice now.

No, I have no connection issues with any other sites to which I am a paid subscriber. I've tested my bandwidth and I've exhausted several possibilities giving you guys -always- the benefit of the doubt.

I'm a Dork to a point. But I've honestly asked all the questions and tried everything in my quest to garner the very least advantage from LIMEWIRE.

Thanks for replying and helping me out btw. I appreciate your communication. Cheers LOTR!

Not talking about using your browser to connect to sites. I'm talking about your LW connecting to the gnutella network. The network has nothing whatsoever to do with connecting to sites, you are connecting to other users.

LW Pro connects to 5 ultrapeers instead of Basic's 3, thus should improve in searching for rarer files by reaching a wider audience of file sharers.
LW Pro has the ability to download from up to 10 hosts per file compared to Basic's 8 hosts per file, thus should in theory result in faster downloads.

In the past, whenever I made my upgrades and/or renewed my membeships, I did experience faster downloads. However, these have been short lived. Where I never changed my sharing settings or preferences, I have experienced initial quick download speeds with full bars across the board and then within a short period of time, very long download speeds, little downloads to choose from and only one bar.

If I've not changed my Limewire settings but only upgraded and paid for PRO, why would my service be downgraded?

What am I doing wrong, if anything?

Service? No .. it's the dynamics of using the network. It can vary from day to day or week to week. Same issue if using LW Basic.

Many people have not been happy with the new LW 5, & personally I do believe they released it far too soon. They left out many tools, it was still containing many bugs. You do have the option to downgrade back to LW 4.18 if you wish. If you still have your old installer use that, else get it from the Classic link on left side of your pro download page.

Otherwise, use the advanced search options. These give a few more options for searching. Sharing also helps believe it or not. Having people uploading from you helps to spread your searches.
