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: Book Club

              I am going to pick up reading that by then too. It's been a slow reading week and I've got a little Nabakov left still.
              There'll be time to discuss with this one I think because it starts off a little slower.

                  We don't want a summary because we're all going to be reading it. We're going to discuss the book as we go.

                    Brothers Karamazov
                    Part l , Book I:


                    So far this is what I have read
                    Karamazov: the name is well-known in Russia. People associate that name with violence & Fyodor Karamazov was true to his name. His life of drinking never stopped & marriage did not stop his old lifestyle. His marriage was scandalous. Adelaida Ivanovna was nieve & thought he would change. After a while she realized that he wasn't going to change & to make matters worst she was pregenant with a son named Dmitri. After Dmitri was born she couldn't take the violence anymore so she left Dmitri & Fyodor. Fyodor searched for Adelaida. When he heard that she had past away he was drunk having orgies. Young Dmitri was handed from family member 2 family member & felt very neglected but always knew about his father & who he really is. After the 4 year old Dmitri was taken away . He got married a second time to a wonderful wife Sofia who convinced her to elope & was still having orgies in her presence.







                    Sofya Ivanovna was married to Karamazov's, but she was not happy because he was abusive towards her. They had 2 kids togheter Ivan & Alyosha. Soon after Sofia died & there servant who loved Sofia so much took the children as there guardian & protected them & gave them rubles for there education. Ivan became a brilliant student who started wriitng journals while Alyosha dveloped into a devoutly religious person, who was liked by everyone. Later on Alyosha returns to his fathers house & reunites with his brother & step brother ( Dmitri) but is kind of puzzled by Ivan's intellegance. He invites his father with wide open arms & never critisize him for his behavior. The Karamazov are reunited, Alyosha's concern was that Dmitri & the Father can discuss there differences in Father Zossima's cell (which is kind of like a church or Holy Place you can say).Alyosha fears the meeting though.

                      You're summarizing and you're in the wrong place. There are threads for the book.
