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.

    Thanks.

    BTW, You need to delete some things from your messages storage (maybe empty your "sent items"): your in-box is full.

      Yep, to a designer of websites a "link" means something specific - the link is a piece of code that will lead you to something else. Website addresses (urls) are not actually links in that precise way (though the wider public might think of them as links). I'm assuming that when Google uses "links" to increase a website's search engine position it means a coded, clickable, link in a webpage (in its help pages google only talks about "links", not "urls").
      Yeah, I didn't mean link... I guess I should have said url. I will consult someone who knows a bit more about how search engines do this.

        That's right.

        Modern search engines use a large number of signals from web pages like occurance of words and phrases (and maybe even urls that are there as text), how close the phrases are together, and a thousand other things to figure out how things relate to each other but traditionally the "link" has been the thing you click on to get from page to page (that's what Google's PageRank algorithm is based on) ... not to be confused with PigeonRank

          So it doesn't include non-hyperlinked urls (you said both)? Is there a code you can put to tell it not to include it, but still have it be hyperlinked?

            The classic "PageRank" algorithm that basically started Google only looks at hyperlinks as far as I know (your basic html link that you click on to get to another page). A site's rank is calculated based on the rank of other sites that link to it (so the links matter but also the rank of the site making the link matter). It's all this giant interdependent hosh-posh of links and how everybody's rank depends on everybody else's rank. The beauty of the PageRank algorithm is how it solved for the ranks very quickly (considering there are billions of pages on the web and who knows how many links)

            But this was from like 10 years ago. You can imagine now search engines have become much smarter than looking at just page rank. So what I was saying is that having words, urls, and texts and how they are placed on a web can also matter.

            I don't know if there is some way you can write a page in such a way to tell search engine crawlers to look at some parts or not. Also you have no guarantee they'll take your suggestion But there is this whole robots.txt standard that you can put on your site: http://www.robotstxt.org/ ... that tells the well intentioned crawlers what they may and may not look at.
