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.

    Very Ture!

    It's hell for the first year, and then you get used to it, and the life, of going to work at 9 am and coming home at 9 p.m. Foget vacations, forget visiting firends and family.

    And then it gets better after a year or two. You hire people to do your job, put your son/daughter as manager, and go and do something else.

      The difference with owning your own business is that if you do it right, you only have to work 80-hour weeks for 5-10 years, then you can either sell-out or delegate most of the responsibility to other people and reap the rewards. Plus, there is so much additional satisfaction involved when the success of the business is your success. Think of what you do as an employee. You work hard to make money for someone else, to contribute to someone else's success, so that they can give you a small percentage. Why not experience the success yourself, and be the person giving out the small percentage?
      100% correct!

      And yes, the first year is hell, but is any decent paying job easy the first year? Most benefits like vacation don't kick in for a while, anyways. And the increased income will be MORE than worth it, rather than living paycheck to paycheck.

      All I have to say is...."thank you, Mr. eBay creator!!!" <-- tears of joy

          Yes, and he came up with the concept on a plane gonig to a business trip, and then set up the whole thing in one weekend. He is now worth over $40 billion!!

          But I'm thanking him because, though his motives were his own personal benefit, he has allowed many others to make a living off of it, too. I am strongly thinking about joining those ranks.

              I owned my own business for about 2 1/2 years and I can tell you that it's such a headache.

              You constantly have to reinvent the direction your business is going towards. You have to worry about your customers needs. You have to keep an eye out on your employees. Agghhhh!!

              Working under someone else isn't necessarily that bad if you enjoy your job and are following what you want to do as a career.

                To be honest, I don't know much about him.

                  Why? Do you want to see if he's the right age for you to be Mrs. eBay creator?

                    Nah...I don't like the idea of marrying into money. I rather make it myself.

                      I like the idea of marrying into money, then using it to make more money.
