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.

    Do you mean what did I buy? I didn't buy anything just yet.

    I use Adobe Premiere which is as good as I can get with Windows. I don't think it's too difficult to adapt to and it's easy to use without any real experience.

      Oh I thought when you said "too bad I'm done." meant you already bought something.

      Cool about Adobe ... I've seen there is a lighter version "Premiere Elements" and wondering if that will get the job done for minor video edits. My new digital cam shoots pretty good video so I've started taking more and more video clips which need a little editing here and there. I also have a bunch of old family videos that I need to edit (right now they are all in long, unedited raw form (so lots of shakes, lots of useless and boring shots etc).
      this post = teh win.

        Yeah, I meant I'm done editing the film I was working on... too bad it was done on a less powerful computer.

        I use Adobe Premiere Elements right now. I'm planning on switching over to Premiere, which obviously has better features. So, yes, Elements is good for what you're looking for. It was good enough to edit a short film I had worked on, so it will do fine with your videos. Movie Maker is just basic and easy, if you perfer that. It's about as elementary as it gets though.

          By the way if you ever plan on buying a mac mini, I would
          suggest buying a refurbished one. They're like $150-200 less than
          original price, and they are fixed by the apple workers.

            I have decided to go with a Mac. Sip, if you can help me out at all, I'd appreciate it greatly.

            Is it worth going with a i5/i7 Processor or should I stick to a Core 2 Duo?

            If I go with an i5, it's $300 extra. If I go with an i7, it's $500 extra.

              That all depends on what you intend to do with it... it's always worth it to get something more powerful if you need the power.
