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.

    Google is better than Firefox. Even the latest version works little better, Chrome works lighter.

    Hmm... I don't know because I don't really use FB the way most people do...

    I was aware of one thing about photos though -- I don't like how easy it is for people who are "friends" and do have access to your photos to paste a url for someone who's not (forget save-as!) on FB. You can delete your account, but they call it "deactivating" because it sort of hides your profile, but your content is still there if you decide to reactivate it in the future.

    I know someone that freeze framed her sight on Facebook so there is no streaming messages, etc.
    HOW is that done? Is it better to just "delete" it and do not have an account?
    Someone I also know told me his daughter registered him on Facebook and he instantly deleted it.

    I hear Facebook logs all photos and stuff for their "ownership" I do not like this and it seems errrrrrrieeeeee.

    Any thoughts anyone?

I use the service to keep in the loop with a few organizations and to keep up with news. I don't post the personal things that many do, such as: where I am, what I'm doing, what I'm eating, where I buy my groceries, when I see my therapist, etc.
    But it is the way that data can be manipulated and combined in ways you may not be aware of when using their products.

    It is a good thing that Google Earth seems to be anonymous - otherwise I would be flooded with google ads for blister creme and for plasters for my many thorn-bush scratches (with the help of Google Earth I've just walked to Surp Lusavorich Vank near the top of Mt. Sepuh overlooking Erzincan).

    Excellent, Ty!

    I don't think you can ever have any true notion of privacy on the Internet ... regardless of who you are dealing with. The same goes with pretty much any form of communication (phone, email, telegraph, smoke signals, letters written in blood carried by pidgeons, etc)

    You can go as far as locking yourself inside a box and someone will surely figure out a way to spy on you with thermal cameras, x-rays, or quantum space fluctuation meters
