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.

    Label Me.

    I'm going to give you guys an example of my every day life and I would like to know why I am like this. Better yet, why I continue to drive myself to this point.

    For example, I began a film marathon for myself to catch up on films I haven't seen. I try to watch at least one a day but strive for two or more. It gets to the point where I have to watch at least one film. I feel like if I don't watch anything for a few days, I'll put a slight dent in the daily average. I feel like by taking a break by a few days, I'll technically have withdrawn from the marathon.

    Another example, I see my girlfriend every day. This entire year, I've seen her every single day; not a day has passed that I haven't seen her. However, there are days when I am extremely tired or whatever the reason, that it would be best if we both stay home and rest. Again, I can't live with myself and I have to see her. In this case, I do want to see her every day so I'm not forcing myself. But again, since I've seen her every single day this year that if I don't see her for one day, I feel like I'm breaking... something.

    Does anybody know what I mean? Why am I like this?

      Re: Label Me.

      You know, I forgot to mention that because I believe I have OCD. I'm pretty certain I do but since I haven't been told so my a doctor, I can't say.

      I mean, what should I do? I do have other rituals I have to follow or else I'll pretty much kill myself; should I tell my doctor? I don't like him though.

        Yeah what you probably need to do is call up a therapist because they're really the only ones who have the tools to diagnose something like that.

          I would want to sit down with one and talk through everything. Ironically, I'll start feeling worse because I'll think I'm insane and seeking help.

            Re: Label Me.

            I think there's not as much stigma attached to seeing a therapist as there was even 10 years ago. I hypothesize that most Americans need one due to the type of lifestyle (too much stress and not enough spiritual fulfillment) that most lead. Maybe a lot of people fresh off the boat stigmatize it but ask Americans who have been here for a couple of generations and they'll say it's completely normal.

            In summary, it's probably best to go see one to make sure that you don't have OCD or something similar.

                It's no big thing man they'll just make you go to sessions and possibly meds which insurance should cover if you have it. They'll probably try and get to the root of what's making you have OCD (various environmental stressors probably). I'm not sure if OCD is something that you can "cure" or if it's something you'll have to deal with for the rest of your life b/c I'm not really educated on the subject.

                  It would be interesting if they try to get to the root of it, wow. I've been like this ever since I was a child. I don't know if I'm up to paying a couple hundred dollars an hour for a therapist. I have Google.
