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.

    They Said It Couldn't Be Done

    They said it couldn't be done.
    They laughed when I said I would do it.
    They said that it couldn't be done.
    I rolled up my sleeves and went to it.

    I struggled, I strove, I strained.
    I fought at it day and night.
    They said that it couldn't be done.
    They were right.

      Noah's Flood
      fallen angels came to earth
      to hybrids, women gave birth
      thus, the flood of Noah's day
      to sweep the hybrids away

        When Sarah Surfs the Internet


        When Sarah surfs the Internet
        she starts by checking mail.
        She answers all her messages
        from friends in great detail.

        She plays a game, or maybe two,
        and watches a cartoon,
        then chats with kids in places
        like Rwanda and Rangoon.

        She reads about her favorite bands.
        She buys an MP3.
        She downloads movie trailers
        and she looks for stuff for free.

        She reads about celebrities
        and dreams of wealth and fame,
        then watches music videos
        and plays another game.

        If you should say, "Your time is up.
        I need to use the Net,"
        she always whines, "I haven't got
        my homework finished yet!"

          The Magic Has Gone

          Frost's fingers withdrew and let go of the world.
          Winter's heart was melting away.
          When the wizard appeared and his magic unfurled.
          Reaching out to lighten our day.
          He did tricks to amaze, astound and delight
          in a world every moment less real.
          He kept us enthralled well into the night
          with the incredible and the surreal.
          The village welcomed him into its heart
          and extended its invitation to stay.
          Till one day he woke and declared he must part
          then swiftly and smoothly vanished away.
          The next spring as we dealt with the annual snow's melt,
          in the gradually brightening weather,
          the magician, still tanned and healthy and svelte,
          came striding on out of the heather.
          He juggled with balls that he conjured from air
          He cast spells for our satisfaction.
          He had tricks and ruses with diversions to spare
          and provided a welcome distraction.
          There was nobody had sufficient time to play host
          so we directed him to a suitable tavern
          But lacking the fervour he could previously boast
          he marched away again through the bracken.
          The subsequent year held problems galore
          with a winter we barely survived
          Then just when we couldn't have taken any more
          the spellcaster finally arrived.
          He patched up our homes and cleared out the fields,
          cured our cattle of most of its ills.
          He put charms on our grain and promised good yields.
          Even sharpened our tools with his skills
          We worked him hard, told him to sleep in the stall,
          and were glad that he seemed so naive.
          He was almost a slave at our beck and call
          till we finally allowed him to leave
          One year later he was long, long overdue
          and we were starting to worry.
          And we had no idea of what we would do
          if he did not appear in a hurry.
          He eventually came but aware of his name
          this time, and how much he could ask.
          So he laid out his fees without any shame
          saying what we must pay for each task.
          And as on his magic we had come to rely
          we had no real choice, so we paid.
          Then an unoccupied building he decided to buy
          and in our little village he stayed.
          Remembering three years of what had seemed oh so clever
          I wandered along to look on.
          But though his powers were even greater than ever
          somehow the magic had gone.

              Another one by me

              I wake up & see the sun
              it makes me feel the urge to run
              Afterwards I go to church & see a nun
              not for fun. (lolol)

                    Hide & Seek

                    Slow haunted moment
                    Paralyzed silent breath
                    Castling tighten woes
                    Joint scream strokes
                    Inside human cubes
                    Dying heart uttered
                    Instinct thrill sway
                    Underground rhythmic voices
                    Pushing thy bleeding heart
                    Seeking chronic edge
                    Searching each unfolded sides
                    Darkened thoughts collides
                    Pointed axis of enormous threat
                    Pauses tickle of time
                    Rampant doubt ignition
                    Awaken squinted fear behind
                    Unbound doom chicks

                      Cloud
                      Gevorg Emin

                      A cloud is passing
                      through my heart
                      leaving a cold shapeless longing.

                      And you, what are you doing
                      right this minute?
                      This cold foggy night?
                      Are you at home?

                      With your face
                      against the window glass
                      watching for me?

                      Or are you out tonight,
                      head high and laughing?
                      Well, you cannot escape
                      completely! I know
                      wherever you are
                      this cloud will pass
                      through your heart too.
