And to respond to your statement that DC software is windows only- That statement is totally untrue.Here are two clients that cover a good selection of operating systems.And these are only two out of the 44 or more I have links for at my forum

  #1. Valknut-operating systems its compatible with->OSX,Mandrake,SuSE,Debian,RedHat,Slackware,FreeBsd,

So I don't know why you are objecting because none of your statements are true except maybe I haven't contributed to the wiki yet but I just found it so when I learn more about how it works I will definitely do that.If you have any more complaints please contact me directly at umrk_hub@yahoo.com.

Link "Links" to the "Main Page" (or elsewhere)? --Emdebe 03:36, 7 May 2005 (PDT)


The link now lives in the main navigation bar to the left - don't think it's necessary to include it in the Main Page text...

Spam?

UMRK Hub Spam? no

--The Yak 04:44, 8 Feb 2007 (PST)I'm just curious why you would remove my links as spam when we are a free trading DC++ hub and not any type of commercial enterprise advertising the sale of anything.We share lossless music among members free we do not allow any type of selling in the hub and we don't allow commercially available material to be shared on our hub.Nor do we sell anything on the website or through the forum.I think this hub is a great addition to the zappa community.If you followed the link to the homepage you would have seen that we only offer people to join for free and come to the hub and enjoy real time trading and chat with zappa and lossless collectors from around the world.I have re-added the link for the hub website and will re-add the link for the hub forum later.

                                                       Thank You,

--The Yak 04:59, 8 Feb 2007 (PST) P.S. I have talked to Barry of Killuglyradio who advised me to re-add my links

                                                      Thank You,

Hello The Yak,

This is okay, this wiki is intended to be a space of freedom. You are welcome here, but sometimes the information are uneasy to sort out. In any case, please feel free to continue to use these discussion pages as this is the best way to ensure a good communication between the contributors.

Just one thing, I kind of reformatted your 2 links so that the page remains 'consistent'. So please do not hesitate to say how you feel about it.

See you

No! I object! They do not freely share. The site requires registration! If I recall rightly (can't be bothered to check) software was Windows only affair rather than an open standard or available for all major operating systems.

If he had contributed to this Wiki at all then a link from his user space to the site may have been acceptable but he has given nothing. The page does not link into the Wiki just out to his site. This sets a precedent for any other vaguely Zappa related spammer to set up their own page.

Make all material from your site freely available as MP3s and you might make the grade. Duncan 06:25, 8 Feb 2007 (PST)


ummmm yes we do freely share and all the registration form is for is to give the users a way to send us what username and password they want to use and to leave us with a way to contact them to tell them that their username has been entered into the hub software in accounts which allows them to start downloading as soon as they get to the hub rather than having to wait for an op to contact them and register them there.And to allow them to tell us a little about themselves so that we know if they are male or female for example so that i'm not calling a guy dear or hun.And as far as contributing to this wiki I just found out about it and i'm still trying to learn about how it works so that i can contribute.And we don't share mp3 format hence the name lossless hub.Most trading communities only use lossless formats so if you take the time to do a little research instead of jumping to conclusions and not bothering to even know what you are talking about then you will know these things.Lossy formats like mp3 are not the preferred format for music collectors.Do you know anything about DC++ software?Its not windows only there are dozens of different clients and i have links for 44 different ones at my forum including the mac compatible ones so Do a little research next time ok.We are open to anyone to come and share but we gotta have rules and keep to our format or our hub wouldn't be good for the trading community.Nobody wants anyone to take a lossless show and convert it to mp3 and share it.That is one of the worst things you can do if you want to be respected in a trading community.Look at zappateers its the same idea except with torrents.Have you complained about them as well?If you have any suggestions worth hearing let me know. Oh and one more thing The software is too open source so if you want to go ahead and code it to whatever operating system you want like others who have.Also the hub is on public hub lists and isn't locked so that unregistered users can't enter although I could do that if I wanted to so yes we do freely share.It is considered to be a semi-private hub.That--->(can't be bothered to check) says a lot.

                                                          Thanks,
                                                     Don Garrant umrk hub

And to respond to your statement that DC software is windows only- That statement is totally untrue.Here are two clients that cover a good selection of operating systems.And these are only two out of the 44 or more I have links for at my forum

 #1. Valknut-operating systems its compatible with->OSX,Mandrake,SuSE,Debian,RedHat,Slackware,FreeBsd,

FedoraCore,Source. link ---> http://dcgui.berlios.de/feature.php

  1. 2.JDC-operating systems its compatible with-->all 32 bit MS Windows,,All Posix(Linux,BSD,Unix-like OSes,etc.)

Link-->http://sourceforge.net/projects/JDC/ So I don't know why you are objecting because none of your statements are true except maybe I haven't contributed to the wiki yet but I just found it so when I learn more about how it works I will definitely do that.If you have any more complaints please contact me directly at umrk_hub@yahoo.com.

                                                             Thank You,

Zappa Wiki Jawaka link from UMRK homepage

And yes my site does link to the wiki and if you even bothered to look before talking then you would have known this.But I have now added a more visible spot for it on my page just for you so that you will be able to see it better even though i know you don't bother to find out what you are talking about before you say things.I've actually created a separate page on my site just for the link.So is there anything else? P.S. I would love to contribute to the wiki Anybody have any suggestions on anything that may be needed here or what I need to do before I add anything so I don't get trashed on for doing something wrong? And the change you made to my link is fine Maroual.The wiki is now linked twice from my site.
