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: Are you okay with Gay Armenians?
Firstly, it's not a different spellchecker, it's the one in the edit window when you submit a reply. As an admin you should know that.
Secondly, I only brought up his spelling, because he arrogantly declared that my entire argument is invalid because one cannot get AIDS, but has to get HIV first. I think an idiot who wants to appear credible should at least use correct grammar, especially if he boasts about "being in academia."
And saying that one cannot get AIDS is not arrogant, but it is factually correct. You're the one who's the idiot for thinking people get AIDS when first infected. No it's a specific process. You become HIV positive from the HIV virus and then it progresses over time eventually to AIDS. Go read some medical literature on the disease before you talk.Մեկ Ազգ, Մեկ Մշակույթ

Damn, you must think you're so important that any time I call someone an idiot you immediately assume it's you. Save your insults for when I insult you directly.Last edited by levon; 02-25-2011, 11:56 AM.

Originally posted by KanadaHye View PostMagic Johnson is apparently a carrier of the HIV virus bus isn't prone to developing AIDS.
HIV infected people are considered to have "normal" CD4 counts if the number is above 500 CD4 cells in that same size drop of blood. If the number of CD4 cells in that drop of blood ever drops below 200 CD4 cells, you are classified as having AIDS.
The Difference Between HIV and AIDS
By Antoinette McGowan
Although HIV and AIDS are linked similarly together they are different. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency syndrome. While a person who has HIV may end up with AIDS once again they are different. Lets look at the differences between the two to get a better understanding of what they each are.
HIV: The HIV virus is species specific meaning only humans can get this virus. You can not get it from a pet or any type of bug bite. It causes your immune system to have serious problems. Since the immune system fights off diseases and infections, it makes it easier for you to get sick and harder to get well. Since it is virus there is no medication that you can take to get rid of it. The virus will live with you forever. The healthier your immune system is the harder it is for the virus to cause serious complications. Even if you don't suffer major complications from the HIV virus in your system you can still pass it on to your sexual partner who may have severe complications from it. So always use protection and be honest with your partner. People with HIV do not always acquire AIDS. They can live a long healthy life with HIV never advancing to AIDS.
There are several subtypes of the HIV-1 virus. HIV-1subtype B is the most common one found in the United States and Canada.
HIV-2 is another type of HIV. This strain of HIV is uncommon in the United States and Canada.
HIV is widely accepted in the medical and scientific research community to be linked to causing the condition known as AIDS.
AIDS: Is the result of a weakened immune system caused by the HIV infection. It is diagnosed when a person tests positive for HIV and also has one or more of the "opportunistic infections" of AIDS and/or has a laboratory marker test of 200 or fewer T-cells. Opportunistic infections also known as OIs, are normal infections that a healthy person would be able to fight off.
There is no cure or vaccine for HIV. New treatments however are available and have been found to be highly effective at keeping infected people healthy longer and delaying the onset of AIDS. If you receive a positive test for HIV then have another test preformed at another lab. Sometimes labs get backed up and samples get mixed up. So another test preformed at another lab would ensure that you have received accurate results.Մեկ Ազգ, Մեկ Մշակույթ

Re: Are you okay with Gay Armenians?
Originally posted by levon View PostNo, I was conversing with Jgk3, you were collateral damage.
You didn't provide the quote I asked you to. Learn to read, and get that through your head.
Most people who get aids, get it through the back door.
Prove it. But it's great. I can just randomly call out idiot and you'll get offended. Awesome
Secondly, I only brought up his spelling, because he arrogantly declared that my entire argument is invalid because one cannot get AIDS, but has to get HIV first.

Originally posted by Mos View PostDon't play dumb with me. So who were you referring to here? Some other person in this thread?
Originally posted by Mos View PostAnd look who's talking. The person who doesn't know the difference between HIV and AIDS, and doesn't know that there are different spellings for British and American English. Stop humiliating yourself.
