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.

    For sure.... I'm sure that's what's on Clemon's mind here. "Leadville 100 was an excellent excuse to dress so openly! Muahahahah!"



    Just like Scott Jurek here is clearly dressed this way because he's seeking attention, right?



    What about testicles? Do they give men an excellent excuse to think they have any more right to wear what they're comfortable in than women?

    Seriously, do not hijack my thread and don't pretend what you're saying has the slightest to do with the topic of the thread.

      Re: Any runners?

      Update... Still doing Vibrams or barefoot and still zero pain since I made the switch so I can keep building endurance (distance) now.
      No shoe better than the ones I was born with! Huzzah!

          Awesome, I'm happy for you

          I'd like to do the barefoot thing, but I don't want to step on anything on the road that'll puncture my skin

          I love running, it's become a habit like chewing gum at this point. Whenever I'm outside, I run to shorten travel time. I run to be able to leave my home later to catch my bus, it becomes like a hunt since it forces me to run fast since I could miss the bus if I get there too late. This is one case where my general procrastination has delivered some valuable additions to my abilities :P Last minute is the most productive!

          Regarding buses, I also run to expand my range of available buses I could use, so like, if there's a bus that comes at a location that's 1 km from my house, it becomes a considerable option in case I missed the bus closest to home. And that turns into a fun challenge overtime as I get better and better with those set and strategic distances.

          I love the fact that as I get older, my overall abilities are getting better and not worse! Mind you, it's taken a few years of both intentional and inadvertent conditioning to get to where I am now, but like now, I can enjoy the fact that if I eat too many sweets, I can just choose to run a bit more than usual to at least psychologically fight the evil sugar!

          Oh, and one last thing, I run with all my regular clothes, especially jeans, and when I go to church, even my dress shoes and dress pants, lol, since I don't distinguish the me that runs from the me that has to get to his destination or where I'm leaving from.

            That's great Jeff! I too feel the urge to run from A to B regardless of how I'm dressed. It's just a more efficient and *fun* way to get around.
            Trail running is even more rewarding. No cars, no lights, no boring urban/suburban environment.

              hmmm, I haven't done trail running much, except to keep a speed that the mosquitos can't catch up with in the woods :P

                Haha! It's a lot of fun Jeff. I think you would enjoy it a great deal. It's so peaceful and you get to see much more in less time than if you were walking/hiking. You just can't zone out because you have to be constantly attending to where your next foot placement should be. If you don't pay attention, you'll go flying. *points to scab on knee and tear in my favorite running tights* I took a fun tumble that way on Saturday.
