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.

    Re: New Year Resolutions!

    Resolutions/Goals for 2009
    1) Continue learning more Armenian words and grammar. Hopefully I'll be functionally fluent by the end of this year if I keep doing what I've been doing.
    2) Finish some Armenian books I've had lying around («Բիւրեղներ» Յակոբ Անտոնեան-ով, «Պտոյտ Մը Պոլսոյ Թաղերու Մէջ» Յակոբ Պարոնեան-ով, «Քաջն Նազար» Համաստեղ-ով, եւլն...)
    3) Get all my apps/financial aid in on time so I can get out of this gas booth.
    4) Start running again so I can actually (comfortably) button my suit.*
    5) Start studying Russian in depth for the coming year when I'll be taking it in school.
    6) Stop being so hard on myself.
    7) Try to only speak Armenian with people who can speak it. (Harder than it sounds.)

    I can't think of more at the moment...

    (*I'm not fat but I did gain the "freshman 15" when I was at college last year. Hopefully I'll be able to get down to 150 again, maybe not. )

          I think it's more of a habitual attitude type of thing than anything else. The more we practice giving and being endearing to the needs of others without expecting something in return, the more it will solidify into a good habit, and should you ever slip up again someday with selfcenteredness, it'll be an isolated case and not a mark that you lack integrity at a gross level in your social existence.

          I think another part of it is just wanting too much attention form others, especially after we over-think about something we want from them. Later, when we do see these persons of interest, whether it's based on love or hate, we can be very demanding in our dealings with them, and thus, not very empathetic.

          Some people have no problems with being like this it seems, and live for years being selective of who they'd like to treat well or not be too demanding of. But I see these same people complain a great deal about those they find "annoying", "stupid", "repulsive", etc... I don't seek to think negatively of others (I just never felt comfortable doing so and whenever I tried to, I either felt like forced myself to, or that I realized it was not emotionally profitable to keep this attitude up later on), so their model of social interaction doesn't seem to cut it for me.
