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.

  • Business Person Or Employee

    I know I should be working right now, but I was just thinking about this while I was "working". My boss just called me and told me to pick up his dry cleaning. Now, I have done this before, but this time, I just felt like an idiot. Why the hell should I pick up his dry cleaning? However, I started thinking about how it's so much less of a headache to work for someone else, rather than owning my own business. I know it's almost everyone's dream to own their own business, but I don't think I would want to do that. There's so much risk involved, so much more work, and so much more stress. Why not just get yourself into a huge company, that provides good pay with full benefits instead? Let me know what you all think....

    Would you rather have job security and work for someone else, or would you want to be your own boss and own your own business?

          He is the Dusken, owner and janitor of Dusken's Donuts. It is patently clear that he prefers owning his own business.

          I wouldn't mind owning my own business either, as opposed to working for someone else, like The Dusken.

            Small business is a tough game. The failure rate is 50% and the hours are ususally very long. Since you're out there totally on your own, you're gonna be doing everything. And I mean everything.

            To be a good small business owner/manager you're gonna have to work for a few years and learn about an industry and then go into it. Small business is not for the easily frightened. But if you succeed it's great. It all depends on the industry and how good your management skills are. (Among other things)

              The success of an individual is directly proportional to their likeness to me.

                I would love to have my own chocolate shop. Or coffee shop. Or both. I can conquer the world with chocolates and caffeine.

                    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?
