This sucks, that sucks! Like, *oh my god*, how old are you?

The only programs that "suck" are those that suck your user info thru hidden spyware apps.

But to say one P2P sucks and another is the best is entirely in the eyes of the beholder.

Each program is built by a different programmer or group of progrs. Each programmer, as a user themselves, has a different vision and a different opinion on what features make for the best client.

Some people prefer the interface that Xolox offers, some like eDonkey the best, many loved Napster, and I personally like Blubster.

And as for the actual content you find on each network or thru each client, your searching/downloading success depends on what Internet connnection you have and what your personal music and movie preferences are.

Some P2P users just want the current top40 songs, and some networks/clients will better accommidate those wants. Some people want rare or odd stuff like prog-fusion or doom-metal, and again, some networks/clients are better suited. I like 80s metal, alternative, country, classic, progressive, pop, new-age, etc., and Blubster has been very good to me, so why change.

In the end, those of you that constantly post "sucks" comments to this forum or to Zeropaid news items, you are just as stupid as the "first post, second post" jerks. Then again, you are probably the same damn kids!

Fully agree

Tell that to the main page. Its always the same unregistered people.. It would be great if comments on news items could be done through the forums.

Programs dont need spyware to monitor the various networks. Napster datamined and sold off userinfo, and anyone can do it on a open network.

People keep looking for the "best" program and expect to use just that one.. IMHO the best is not just one program but a combination of many different ones.

Edit: Speling error

Although most people don't like to admit it, probably over half of the people here lie about their age. I bet anyone, that over half of the viewers here are under 17. You can tell mostly by the way they post, with just flame insults and no valid explanation supporting their reasons.

Wolfie · May 3rd, 2002, 05:44 PM

I do agree the this critisism does apply to the ZP's comment section of articles that are posted. So far I think the conduct of registered members on the forum has pretty good and mods have done good job keeping the order.

keep up the good work

Foreverboard · May 3rd, 2002, 06:24 PM

Agree all the mods do a good job, and the main page is good, I have seen them remove remove bad stuff. But everyone flames sometimes. this is deffently better than most of the other forums.

The Hunter · May 3rd, 2002, 07:06 PM

:shy I agree the age is obvious at times. If they want to know what sucks, try a vic 20 or a commodore64, hell win-95 looks good.

Not only young people post in this way!

If they tell their opinion without rude flames I think its Ok, if they using very bad words we should edit it - if they flame on an other user we should edit or delete it! There are always people who think they can do everything - I remember the old zeropaid forums - Jesus they NEVER saw an edit message (I know Jorge has not the time to do it!), so many people will think they can do it here in the same way... BUT now we have enough mods to keep the forums free! :wings

I think the best would be to work on some forum rules and post them in an annoucement!

wessman · **I agree with Morgwen -** May 6th, 2002, 06:10 AM

I agree with Morgwen, plain and simple. :sw

Wolfie · May 6th, 2002, 04:32 PM

I thought there was a set of forum rules already posted...

Foreverboard · May 6th, 2002, 04:45 PM

There is

*Unofficial* General P2P Section Rules
This are just my little guidelines for what is not to be posted on these boards (Ryoko, feel free to add to this):

1. Spam/Unrelated Advertisments
2. Repetitive Posts (sorta same as above)
3. Insult/flame wars etc.
4. Excessive Profanity -Suggested by BloodySabbath

But above all just have fun!!!

Please feel free to post any comments or suggestions below. Thanks,

I mean for the whole side! Not just for one forum!

We have several mods here, the most are super mods they can edit every forum so I think its really necessary to work out a common guidance!

P.S.:

I think I move this thread to feedback!
