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. |

 The answer to your question is yes it's a fake one. As Neglacio states in his first sentence, Discordia is the fake one. Present version should be 2.4, not above 3. Quote:

| Hey , just downloaded the real Shareaza and I must say that I like the fake one soooo much better. I love the player in the fake one. i might just reinstall it as I am having trouble getting downloads in the real Shareaza. Never did in the fake one It was more like iTunes. My most favorite player of all |

| Well , my real Shareaza was very short lived. Could not get it to downlload. gave only one result and then would not download the song. tried other song downloads and gave only a few results , then would never download. hey , I don't have time for such nonsense. I want something that works. So , i am right back with the "Fake" Shareaza version 6. |

| um ... so why did you post here? Did you do a clean install & remove the old preferences folder or let Shareaza use the Discordia Shareaza preferences. That in itself would most likely have not been good for the 'genuine' article.  You sound like a very patient person. I guess you don't share files either right? Just grab songs & run. Welcome to the Gnutella 'sharing' community btw. And as for iTunes, well everyone has their favorites. I use iTunes, have since iTunes version 2, but these days the program been a little rubbishy. Forcing changes on users. eg: who wants files named 03 03 03 03 03 03 03 03 title.mp3 There used to be an option to stop this in preferences, but iTunes removed the option for the user to change it. Now there's only one way to prevent it. Last edited by Lord of the Rings; June 7th, 2009 at 03:55 PM. |

Yes I am patient because if I wasn't , I would tell you what kind of character you have. And lets just say . It would not be a good thing. Nope. Did a clean install. Just did not work. Neither did Frostwire. i have tried Frostwire , poorf. Ares Poor Shareaza poor. Fake Shareaza fair but best one out of the three. i am beginning to thinkl these P2P software is not worth the bother. iTunes isd only 99 cents. Not bad for great quaility. i will probably just stay with iTunes. Never found a better one yet. |

| Well that's another funny preference. iTunes isn't great quality, it's decent quality. Also they really like their DRM and other restrictions. There are very few great "legal" download sites and by far the most of them are electronic music only. Sites like BeatPort, which sell 320Kbps mp3 and even in some cases proper FLAC for little more than your precious iTunes sells DRM cripled 192Kbps m4p files. I prefer the real thing i.e. either the physical CD or a 1:1 copy of said CD. |
