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.

    Thanks for the welcome Anonymouse! I fully understand what you mean about that circus "bruin walk" ... if it weren't for Taco Bell, I'd never venture in that direction and just pretty much stay in south campus and kerchoff (i.e. rubios and panda express)

    God I miss the bad Cooperage food! Last time I was on campus was around November I think but everything was closed (weekend).
    this post = teh win.

      The fact that it seems so trivial to many of us (including myself I might add) just shows how spoiled we have become to not appreciate what we have and what billions in the world don't have.
      Well, learning doesn't seem trivial to me. But the whole show of going to classes and the trend of doing group work bla bla bla is very displeasing, and it doesn't appeal to me at all... And I really don't see the need for friends in the class. Frankly, if you're going to need a friend's help in a certain situation, you're better off dropping the course altogether. I really don't know what the big deal is about study groups, etc. Am I missing something? I've been in university for 3 years now, and not even once did I do a study group thing. The only time I've talked to people in my class about lessons and such is when they asked me a question, and I was really angry because they didn't seem receptive or friendly at all, just seemed to want to get what they wanted from me, and leave. And in almost all classes, especially in racially diverse cities, people of different racial groups interact only with their own. An example of that would be the Chinese. When I was in Computer Science, there were few non-Chinese people in my class, and the Chinese only interacted with the Chinese, partly because none of them knew English well enough to talk to me or any of the non-Chinese people, and perhaps because they are a rather closed race. But that's not the point. The point is, lectures / classes annoy me because people make such a ruckus about it, and it's really not that big a deal. I understand the whole "appreciate what you have" thing, but .. really now, the only reason I hate going to classes when a new school day starts is that I hate seeing all those people chit-chatting. It seriously gets on my nerves. And all those clubs and student groups. Oh God.. It seems like the whole idea of university is being altered. I guess I am mourning for the loss of true education - of what Oxford was like, when people actually went to libraries and did research, instead of putting on airs and pretending to be studying in a group... Eh, maybe we should blame feminists and immigration for the lowering of standards..

      Perhaps I'm contradicting myself here, by saying that people take things too seriously and that they are here only to find girlfriends/boyfriends.. I don't know.. I guess both are two extremes, and I really hate extremes. I don't see why anyone who attends university needs to have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Like it's such an embarassing thing to be at university and not have a gf/bf... "What, you don't have a girlfriend??!?!?!?!" eh.. not my type..

          Wondering is a great thing. I wonder "why" too, sometimes.

            Yeah, ahem, Hi Welcome to the forum. Last time I cut myself, wow it was the strangest thing, I bled cardinal and gold. Trojan family and all that stuff. Let me tell you a leedle secret. It's called scholarships! Being a nerd finally paid off, literally, woohoo.

            I think even though I am not so into the whole rivalry stuff ucla will always just be yech to me. I'm applying there for grad school anyway, but I'll still always be a University of Spoiled Children Trojan Family brat. What can I say, the first time I went there was when I was 14, to a football game, then again I started school there when I was 17 and I am now 21, it was a part of my growing up in every sense of the word....

            Yes, fUCLA sucks.



            (I HAD to say it, you know)

            Welcome to our little forum mr. Seapahn! Kick up your feet, stay a while, and enjoy...
