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: Film Club!

    I hope everybody has the chance to check out this film by next Friday. I warn you, there are some spoilers in my review, but that should be expected considering we're all sharing our final thoughts on each film.

      Re: Film Club!

      Well, either you guys are all out watching Sin Nombre or neither of you have even noticed that there is an assigned film to watch. This is the problem, because I feel like we will usually end up having one person watch the recommended film, if that.

      In either case, I will post up my recommendation in exactly one week, on Friday, and that will be the film to watch. So, if you come into this thread in one week and see my recommendation, please do not bother posting your thoughts on Sin Nombre unless you post them alongside the review for my recommended film.

          Re: Film Club!

          I'm going to post up my recommendation tomorrow. If you don't post up your reviews by tomorrow, don't bother. I don't want people posting up their thoughts on Sin Nombre, while we have already moved on to other films.

          You guys said you wanted to play, but nobody's playing.

            Re: Film Club!

            Oneway already set up a preview of the movie. I assume you know what is going on in the film, there are spoilers in my review. Watch the movie!!

            Great movie. I particularly liked the flow, the movie sets itself up very well. Throughout the movie you also get a sense of what some do to get to America. The movie was well executed, there wasn't much that felt forced, or as if they were trying too hard to express something. I particularly enjoyed the scene where he swung the machette, killing the leader of his gang. There was no anger, no emotion, he did as if he had no other choice, great cinema. The girl's role was a bit of cliche, girl is rescued by bad-boy and falls in love, wants to help him even if it leads to her demise. Thankfully the male lead kinda still has his heart with his girlfriend that was just killed like two days ago... lol, so the love story that does play out is very much toned down, really he only shows her affection when she finds out her father died. You could tell he knew he was going to die, as did we, the interesting part was how he was going to die. Would it have been this pseudo image of himself that is the young recruited boy that kills him? Keeps you interested. There was a scene, where he pays for the girl to cross the river with a camera that was dear to him, the guy holds the camera with the guy in front and the girl just slightly behind him. Would have been a great shot if the guy inspecting the camera would have snapped a shot (as if to see if it works or not), would have been a great shot of something that we all knew wasn't going to last. Though I suppose it would have been anti-climactic of the whole dead gf thing.

            Great movie, watch it even if past due.

              I agree with your thoughts.

              I'm not encouraged people not to watch this film, I just don't want them to still be watching this and posting their reviews when we have already moved on.

              In either case, thank you for posting your review.

                No problem, that is after all what we agreed on doing. Where is ara87 btw? He skipped in line, picked a movie and hasn't watched? Come on Ara.

                Anyway, awaiting next movie choice by Oneway.

                  Re: Film Club!

                  I choose The Spirit of the Beehive (1973), which you all need to watch and post your reviews by Friday, November 5.

                  I'm choosing this film because a friend of mine really, really loved it and I usually agree with his opinion. It's also a film I've been meaning to see for months but kept putting it off, so it gives me a chance to finally see it. It should also be relatively easy to find considering it's available for streaming on Netflix.

                    Re: Film Club!

                    I'm not going to watch this film, at least for now.

                    I'm busy with school and since nobody is playing along, I don't see the need for going out of my way and watching it for no reason.

                    So, this thread is dead until somebody revives it again.

                      Okay, Siggie, held a knife to my throat and threatened to kill me unless I started this back up. So, this is the deal, and if nobody plays along then it's time to quit this for good.

                      You all now have two weeks to watch a given film. So, my film is still on the table and you have until Friday, November 19 to watch the film. I'm giving you guys more than two weeks for this one just so people can snap back to reality. From there on, you will have two weeks to watch a film and post your reviews.

                      Go!
