Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Re: Wowie

    I think you're the cutest thing ever! I really enjoyed reading your response :>

    You wouldn't believe how many hours the average Los Angeleno wastes while driving to work, school and other destinations. I can honestly say I'm on the road for at least an hour to two hours everyday. Sometimes I wish the time could be spent doing more productive things, but i fear it would distract me from the road.

    I'm glad you enjoy the process of walking long distances as well. There is something incredibly peaceful and meditative about walking at nights when the city is quiet and everyone is tucked away in their homes...all except for you and the occasional person you stumble across.

    Walking long distances gives you time to quietly contemplate your day, life and any other such matters. I cannot tell you how many epiphanies I have gotten while doing so throughout the years. There are times where i feel i cannot remain sane without this activity in my day.

    Sometimes i prefer to walk in silence and feel the breeze against my face, hear the rustle of leaves from trees. Other days, I like to let the music I'm listening to consume my being. Both my dear, are equally wonderful.

      Glad you enjoyed it

      I think in general, the population at large would experience the benefits of more physical activity. The reduction in the gas emission from the cars would actually make the air fine to breath in very populated areas.

      And I know exactly what you're talking about when you say it's peaceful and meditative (the rustling of the leaves I find is very special for this). I like to walk during all times of the day because they each have their pluses: the morning when the weather is cooler and the rays of the rising sun shining on everything... During the day (on weekdays) because it's especially quiet, as everyone is at work... The sunset, everyone knows how wonderful the colours of the sky can be, and likewise, the complexion of all our colours change in an often memorable way... And finally night-time, when it's the city's turn to offer us light, along with the moon and the stars, and like you said, we walk, knowing everyone is home to unwind and rest after another day.

      The 24 hour cycle can truly be a beautiful thing, and walking during different times of it are a great way of feeling it best. I love watching nature also because of this, the wildlife is all too great a part of this, and for me, watching them seems to remind my soul that I too, come from their world. But later, I stand up from the log I was sitting on and walk back to the motions of civilization :P

      It's always pleasure to share these thoughts with someone who can relate.
