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.

    I like you reference to the computer, hopefully electric cars will be out and ready for less public use in less than 10 years, though that is a little to optimistic, but I'm against drilling for more oil, and ethanol is a joke when it comes to saving the enviorment, as is "clean" coal

      yep, but I had also in mind it's political implications, especially in light of exchange of ideas under the 'borders of n.k. and briza's declaration' thread when if the foregoing occurs, the west will give less credit to the azeri's -refer to the argument federate posted there concerning oil

          also in the same idea of energy saving Toyota has launched a model called prius having two engines, one classical and the other electrical. both engines relay when the car is in use, and the general consumption is 5 l per 100 klm's

            Re: Lightning GT

            The problem with electric cars is not merely that they are expensive to buy (at least to get one with any kind of power). They are also expensive to maintain. Replacement batteries for the weakest models is a MINIMUM of $9k. And let's set that aside. After all, as was mentioned, costs will eventually come down for this technology as everyone and there mother starts exploring it, perfecting it and creating it. There is a bigger concern.

            The whole point of these electric cars is that they're "green", aka better for the environment. It is true that they are either extremely low, or 0 emissions cars. However, the total effect a car has on the environment does not solely reside in the tailpipe (or lack there of). You have to take into account the way they're built, and what it takes to make them. The process to gather the lead for these batteries, build them, and then dispose of them when their charging life is done is quite toxic on the environment, and anything but "green".

            electric cars with batteries made from newly mined lead will release 60 times more lead than cars using leaded petrol

            How's that for an inconvenient truth?

              tesla cars released a new model of a fully battery powered car which costs between usd 100k and 125k depending the options. it looks like a sport car like the lightening above with two places and the lifetme of the batteries is five years. it seems that prices have began to drop.
