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.

    D3n1z - I wouldn't even think of going near literal crack. That *hit was introduced to inner cities (and I think of it as another tool of genocide) and is pure evil.

    Anonymouse - My "LDS" posting style is a spiritual "acid test to see the grateful dead." If you pay attention you'll start to use much more than the 5% of your brain that most people know how to use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grateful_Dead

    I'm working on preventing cancer, too.

      np. And yeah, there's nothing wrong with having thoughts that extend beyond they everyday mundane lives we have. It's healthy to use your imagination and dream a little, even if it doesn't follow coherent guidelines. Anonymouse said himself that when man is creative, he is not busy acting "rational".

      I was a dreamer once, but everyone pressured me to think realistically, to set goals that will let me prosper and reach "success". They pressured me to speak in a rational way, and so the result? Well, I conformed to their desires and not my own, and I did a damn good job of it. I feel ashamed of myself, I'm not living life for myself.

      It bothers me that our society beats up anyone who wants to go off on a tangent or thinks of something that takes some imagination to communicate. There are things that cannot be communicated by our standard talk, just as there are connotations in one language cannot be reflected in another. I am doing a poor job of communicating my actual feelings right now, because I am resorting to this style of writing, but in exchange, you get to read all this and come to your personal understanding fairly easily.

          Just an idea. I posed a question to Anonymouse about how he would feel about me bringing many non-Armenians to join here. He replied to me in a very respectful way. I knew I could ask him because I know he does care. He isn't quite sure. (Correct me if I misunderstand, Anon.)

          I asked him if he thought it is good if I get MANY (maybe like millions) of people to join this site.
          Why on earth would anyone want to?

          Anahita, so few of your messages have got through that maybe it is about time you changed your delivery system.
          I'm not going to be nasty to you like some of the other posters, but I've got to say that I am like them in that I also ignore most of your posts because I really can't be bothered to tease from them whatever obscure message they might contain. If you have important things to say, then say them up front and say them clear. And say them in your own words: please, please, please quit with all the song lyrics. Not one more, pleeeeeze.

            Didn't the worshippers of the original Anahita get their Goddess's messages by listening to the leaves of willow trees blowing in the wind? Yours, Anahita, are even more cryptic!

              BEAUTIFUL. Sadly, too few people pay much attention to the wind...

              Also, I wanted to remind people that I tend to 'pick on' (or single out) people because I like them and feel they have something important to contribute.

              Some of what I say doesn't seem to make sense (and is intentionally cryptic), but later on people will think, "Oh, now I 'see' what she meant (or didn't mean)."

                yeah, it makes people think. Just because most people don't wanna be bothered to use this type of thinking doesn't mean she should give up. This perseverance is part of the message, because she uses her soul as part of her message. Not all of us do such a thing, instead, our message merely exposes the functioning of our minds... This isn't enough, not to me.

                  I don't think they will. Posts on message boards don't work that way. If it doesn't make an immediate impact it is lost and might as well have never been said.

                    Re: Bring in many of non-Armenians to learn?

                    If I had first arrived and simply said, "Hello. I am a literal Goddess. I am sending messages (coded/mused) in music in order to save the planet and humanity. Tune in."

                    The reaction (from closed minds) would have mostly been: she's crazy.

                    Now, most here realize that 'sanity' is often culturally defined.
