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: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

    The coolest innovation has been the use of new composit materials which are strong yet much lighter then traditional gear plus a lot of the clothing made for the outdoors has wicking and breathable technology incoorporated into it thus keeping you drier, warmer with less bulky clothing. It is not cheap though.

      No, not cheap, but you don't always want the synthetic wicking stuff... Wool/down is still best sometimes.

      I'm loving these chairs, btw: Alite Monarch Have you tried them?

        Nah i dont use chairs much outside. I sit on my bucket while icefishing or i lay down in the woods behind some brush while hunting. I am a big guy so i am careful about what i sit on.

          My tired legs need the break on longer treks. I can see where these wouldn't be ideal for fishing though, especially on ice.
          I don't know what max weight is but they don't feel flimsy and they should be fine up to at least 200lb. It was great on my last camping trip... Sometimes you end somewhere truly awesome and just want to stay a while.

            I bet you had a good view from there. I have lost a lot of weight since my back has allowed me to start working out again but i would still turn that seat into scrap metal instantly. I plan on doing a lot of fishing this winter so i will post some pretty piks when i get them. Hopefully i will make it up to the upper peninsula of michigan this year, many wonderful scenes there.

              Went to chek the ice today on a local lake today but ended up going for a swim instead. I walked around the lake but as i started walking out deeper the ice buckled under me and in i went. Cut my hand on the sharp ice climbing out but made it. Guess ill have to wait a few more days..

                    Yay the ice is back. Had a great time out there today catching lots of fish with a couple armenian friends. I really like being able to put people on the fish and seeing how happy they are when catching.
