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.

    The Stripes are a lot rawer than most of what you hear out of Zeppelin. I can see a lot of similarity between their Elephant album and Led Zeppelin II, especially in Ball and Biscuit. When I first heard the main riff in that song, I thought I was hearing unreleased Zeppelin. Incidentally, that was early enough in Zeppelin's career that their music was still very heavily influenced by the blues.

    All in all, The Stripes are a revival band. They aren't trying to do anything new. Their whole schtick is to bring rock and roll back to its roots, closer to the blues and with less production and orchestration. Some bands move forward, some move backward, and some stay in exactly the same place as everyone else. As long as they're making good music, what's the cause for complaint?

      poopie some of these so called punk bands arent even truely punk anymore- theyre all about the "dinero" ca-ching now a days-- but yea i see a great decline in the quality of rock and punk music- some bands are cool- u hear their first few songs and immediately start liking them- but after the first album they start sucking badly... i kinda stopped listening to these new bands like hoobastank and stuff- they have some good songs- but not as good as classic rock and some of the original stuff- theyre not considered rock anymore- theyre more like "pop"- aka popular music- u gotta have that certain something that distingueshes the band/and thier music from all these poopty peupty songs that are played 24/7 on kroq~ they need more of the real stuff!!

          Yes, KROQ sucks. The only rock station I know that not only plays crappy rock music, but also rap.

            ahh how I RACE to change the station as soon as they're on.
            Maybe that was your point, but it wasn't the point I was responding to. My point was to judge music on whether or not it's good, not on whether or not it's derivative. We seem to be in agreement about that.

              By the way, you could have just asked Admin to change the name of your old account. You didn't need to start a new one.
