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.

    She just finished - and seemed to do well...waiting for the judges...what kind of (Turkish) name is Tupa Kaladamir (sp?) anyway? lol

    Also BTW - we visited with some of our Turkish friends this last weekend and they keep askign when we will join them in Turkey...unfortunatly we have other (domestic/USA) plans for this summer...maybe next year (though we already have tentative plans for UK/France etc)...but one never knows...they spent New years in Turkey BTW and apparently got great weather and just missed a big storm with lots of snow...

    Hm...why didn't they report the score of the Turkish gal? ...we'll just have to wait and see I guess....anyway she had a beautiful skate...

          Tugba Karademir Gives Turkey International Exposure
          http://www.goldenskate.com/articles/2002/092602.shtml
          Turkey is not one of the first countries that you first consider when you think about figure skating, but Turkish figure skaters compete in ISU

              She had a great long program skate BTW - I mean it was really fantastic. She showed tremendous confidence and poise and very nice artistry - it was a joy (and IMIO it should have been scored higher!) - Still she did great...and they had a real nice piece on her and her family prior to her skate. She seems like a really nice girl. Good for her - I hope she gets the acolades she deserves back in Turkey (though she pretty much lives in Canada now...her English is quite good...better then most Canadians even - eh? lol)

                  Well yes - after the two falls..was very gutsy and was done very well. If none of the top skaters had made mistakes I think the Russian Gals performance/program would have and should have taken the gold...and the Japanese gal deserved it with a beautiful and flawless performance....and did you see that little Georgian gal skate? - she was something (my prediction for gold in 2010!) - though she clearly tired out near the end (but aparently wasn't used to doing such a long program...)
