eMuleBB Announcement Forum Inventory¶

Last verified: 2026-05-30

This inventory tracks language-specific eMule, eD2K, P2P, and adjacent technical communities where an eMuleBB announcement may improve search visibility and reach real eMule users.

It is a research index, not an endorsement list. Before posting, review each community's rules, moderator expectations, and tolerance for open-source fork announcements. Do not post copyrighted content, ED2K content links, or piracy framing. Announcements should present eMuleBB as an open-source Windows eMule product/fork with stock-compatible eD2K/Kad behavior, public source, docs, nightly builds, and planned 0.7.3-rc.1 testing.

Status Labels¶

Status	Meaning
High-signal	Dedicated eMule or eMule-mod audience; good first-wave target.
Useful	Relevant language/community, but may be broader than eMule.
Archive/reference	Useful for history, backlinks, or context; not a primary announcement forum.
Needs verification	Posting rules, current activity, or account requirements need a fresh check.

Search Visibility Actions¶

Keep https://emulebb.github.io/ as the canonical landing page in every announcement.
Use search-friendly title words that users still type: eMule, eMuleBB, Windows 11, VPN/interface binding, upload slots, Kad, REST API, 0.7.3-rc.1, and nightly builds.
Submit the org site sitemap to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
Publish GitHub Releases with exact version text in the title, for example eMuleBB 0.7.3-rc.1.
Add one public comparison page later for "eMuleBB vs eMule Community vs aMule" with careful wording: eMuleBB is not a protocol fork.
Localize short announcement posts for the strongest languages instead of posting English everywhere.
Ask moderators first where the forum is small, old, or strict.

Announcement Template Checklist¶

Every post should include:

one-line project identity: eMuleBB is eMule broadband edition
source link: https://github.com/emulebb/emulebb
public site link: https://emulebb.github.io/
rendered docs link: https://emulebb.github.io/emulebb-tooling/
release/nightly link: https://github.com/emulebb/emulebb/releases
practical value: VPN/interface binding, upload-slot control, large-library work, REST/API automation, release proof
compatibility note: stock-compatible eD2K/Kad behavior remains the default
support request: testers should use backed-up or disposable profiles and report crashes, freezes, package issues, REST/controller problems, and real network regressions

High-Signal First Wave¶

These are the best first announcement targets because they are eMule-specific or still visibly host eMule discussion.

Additional Language Targets¶

These can help search visibility but should be treated as second-wave or moderator-first targets.

EmuleBDZ
Language: French
Status: Useful, needs verification
Link: https://ebdz.net/forum/portal.php
Notes: French eMule community. Verify current activity and posting rules before announcing.
Reddit r/FrancePirate
Language: French
Status: Useful, moderator-first
Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/FrancePirate/
Notes: Not eMule-specific. Use only a transparent open-source project post, with no content links.
eMule-Web / MorphXT wiki
Language: German
Status: Archive/reference
Link: https://wiki.emule-web.de/Main_Page
Notes: More historical/wiki than forum. Useful as context for mod lineage and backlink leads.
ComputerBase Forum
Language: German
Status: Useful, broad tech forum
Link: https://www.computerbase.de/forum/
Notes: Not eMule-specific. Post only if open-source software announcements are acceptable.
Elektroda
Language: Polish
Status: Useful, broad tech forum
Link: https://www.elektroda.pl/
Notes: Polish technical forum with eMule networking/help discussions. Best angle: Low ID, ports, and VPN/interface binding.
Tweakers Software Forum
Language: Dutch
Status: Useful, broad tech forum
Link: https://tweakers.net/software/forum/
Notes: Strong Dutch technical audience, but not eMule-specific. Ask or check rules first.
5ch software boards
Language: Japanese
Status: Needs verification
Link: https://5ch.net/
Notes: Search for current eMule threads before posting. Prefer a short Japanese announcement if a relevant thread exists.
General Ukrainian tech forums
Language: Ukrainian
Status: Needs verification
Link: Search needed before posting
Notes: No strong eMule-specific target was confirmed in the first pass. Use Ukrainian localized pages and broader open-source channels cautiously.

Announcement Positioning¶

Use this posture consistently:

eMuleBB is the product name; "eMule broadband edition" is the descriptive expansion.
eMuleBB is a maintained Windows eMule fork/product, not a protocol fork.
0.7.3-rc.1 is the planned release candidate; do not call it released until the release docs and tag say so.
Nightlies are available for public testing.
The project preserves compatibility where eD2K/Kad behavior matters, while improving local operation around broadband upload, binding, large libraries, REST automation, packaging, and test evidence.

Avoid¶

Do not advertise copyrighted downloads, content discovery, or ED2K links.
Do not promise anonymity, VPN leak prevention, or a built-in VPN kill switch. eMuleBB supports explicit binding; route enforcement remains external.
Do not imply eMuleBB replaces aMule or eMule Community for every user.
Do not post long changelog dumps as a first message. Link docs and releases instead.
Do not translate technical terms inconsistently. Preserve eMuleBB, eMule, eD2K, Kad, REST, WebServer, VPN/interface binding, UPnP/NAT, 0.7.3-rc.1, and repository names.

Maintenance Notes¶

Recheck activity and posting rules before each release-candidate wave.
Keep this list separate from the eD2K project inventory: this document tracks outreach targets, not dependencies or implementation references.
If a community rejects announcement posts, record that here and remove it from first-wave targets.
