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.

    Ah yes and one more thing. Is it really that difficult to type dorobo? Or, at the very least doro. There is a slight difference between an extinct bird and a thief.

      moving on to the main topic here...
      cool or not cool... copycats or xerox mouses...
      the White Stripes are topping all the charts, and while they weren't even heard of a couple of months ago... now they're so well known that you guys are arguing about them in a forum... so chill !!

        Jahannam, that doesn't make them great. Just because they top charts doesn't mean anything.

        The fact is, you probably aren't exposed to classic rock to see the obvious rip off of the style. I enjoy rock nowadays as being different from that era beacuse its about progression. This is just going back to it, and like I said, a generation that is ignorant of it will never know like most young adults my age.

          I didn't say their music is original... I agree with you on the "classic rocker wannabe" part... but hey... they succeeded... and yes that DOES make em great (may be not according to u)according to the people who helped them reach the top. what I mean is... if everyone thought about this the way YOU did.. no one would've listened to them, therefore they wouldn't have topped charts!

            I don't know why you guys can't fathom this, but youre stating the obvious and going on in circles. I admitted in my thread that they topped music charts, but that was not the intent of my thread. Whether they made it big or not is not the question, it's obvious they did and it's obvious the people who like them have no taste really, but it's about the rip off, that's all.

                Anti-flag, AFI, NOFX?

                You say they talk about how this "system" that we live in a not right.


                Anti-Flag and Afi and a way to go, Both are on major labels selling them selfs out to mtv and major corporations. Nofx i have to say no comment hence i dont know who they are.

                Punk music better than classic?

                Punk music was made for rebels that wanted to most crapist music on the streets. Most real punk bands didnt know how to play drums or play the bass or guitar, they did what they had to do and thats that. Punks were never better, punks were scum of society and we held that status high n' proud.

                Conflict
                Dead kennedys
                ...those are real punk bands, ones that never sold out, because for them punk was and is still a way of life.

                  Exactly what did they rip from Led Zepplin? Why do you expect every new (or newly discovered) group should be playing a specific/new style? Every group has had its inspirations. The Stripes are mostly influenced by blues music, although you don't hear it in their mainstream hits. Give a listen to their 1st and 2nd albums.
