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.

  • Problem with music.

    Hi
    I have this problem and I was wondering about ur opinions about it. My brother, 15, is listening to this anti-christ bands and started buying their CDs. I got nothing against music, but I'm concerned about him. I know that music has a certain effect and what scares me the most is that he started listening at 13. I thought he'll get over it but he didn't. Everytime I bring up the subject he gets all mad and throws things at me. so what should I do?

    Thru the sudden light
    Thru the room
    A ghost preceeds us
    A shadow follows us
    And each time we stop
    We fall"

    I'd be happy to change his mind, but I'm doubting his body will survive. Do you wanna risk loosing a brother?


    just kidding



    Watch him closely and make sure he just listens to the music. Thats all you can do without resorting to violence.

      But, That's the problem I don't know what's going on inside him. He goes out with his friends and comes home late. I think he's gone far enough, he needs to lighten up a little when it comes to music, it already cozed trouble in school.

        then I say he needs a good christian beating.


        the fear of God needs to be put in him, and a 2 by 4 worked for me.

          He is quite religious, I know that he's not totaly into it. I'm just afraid that the music will change him.

            nahhhhhh

            music preferences change over time especially at that age. Just don't let him get too deep into it, like attending rituals and gatherings.

              Talk to him about the music. I mean, discussion, not objections against the whole messages of the music he's listenning to. Make him talk about what he's thinking about the lyrics.
              Coz listenning to music is more often passive. He may appreciate a lot the music and maybe he has never cared about the lyrics.
              Discussions would transform this passivity into an activity and so, a critical sense.

              Music at this age is more a means of rebellion, in order to be different. It does go well with the puberty, when everyone tries to find out an identity.

              I think if you go against this music, he'll go against you, and then discussions would be very hard. Sollicitate his critical sense.
