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.

    In Montreal, we breathe snow. 30-40 centimeters is nothing special, with a -35 degree celsius weather to accompany it. Everyone's used to it by now though.

    Hah, it was hilarious when Toronto had a snowstorm and they had to call in the army to help them out. Those weak Torontonians...

          It was pretty routine up in the mountains. And damn, are the Blue Ridges gorgeous in white.

            I was living in northern NJ last winter, and I moved back here in the middle of January. It had been snowing for like three weeks without any break. We could barely leave the house. Honestly, I was lucky the plane was able to leave JFK. The tarmac was almost completely white. When my friend and I arrived here at Long Beach, the sky was perfectly blue, all the trees still had every leaf, and the temperature outside was about 78. Talk about contrast.

              Oh that's nothing.

              Try living through 8 winters in South Dakota.

              -60F degree weather wasn't too uncommon (taking into account the windshield)

              My mom and I got stuck in 4 feet of snow once with our car in a blizzard. It was a Sunday, I had forgotten a textbook and went to school to get it from my locker. I get to school, there's only about a janitor or two in the whole school since it's the weekend. I come out, try to drive out, and get stuck in the snow with no shovel, no cell phone, and no one nearby to help. It was so funny, we both took turns digging ourselves out (taking turns so as to avoid frostbite, haha).

              And you guys know what freezing rain is, right? Haha, it was so damn funny watching cars glide on the roads during that like graceful little figure skaters. Great way to get killed. I once missed a red light because of this, once did a 360 in the middle of the busiest street in the city, sitting in the safest of all places (middle of backseat, surrounded by 4 other screaming girls...I was laughing though).

              And who can forget the lovely scenery when all the snow melted and mixed with mud? Gotta love it!

              The only snow I miss is the one that fell in Armenia - so soft, so light, so harazat.

                4 feet of snow is rare, but not that uncommon too. The roads can get very scary with all that black ice. I remember the first time I drove a long distance was on new year's last year (with my temporary license), with every single road frozen, and cars swerving around everywhere around me. Scary, yet somewhat thrilling.

                By the way, what does -60F come to in Celsius?

                  what are you saying about Toronto?!?!?!?! hahahha. we're so whiney, aren't we? LMAO. I hate most of the people who consider Toronto a great city....... I dislike Toronto. It's dull. There's nothing but chinese people in it. I mean, I get sick of hearing chinese more than English... hmm. anyway, yeah, I'd join you in bashing Toronto... LOL. Perhaps we need a thread about that in the rant forum.

                  But on the day of the snowstorm, it took me........ 4 hrs to get to school, and by the time I got there, my classes were over.. hahahah... i should've never gone out anyway.. 1 hr outside, waiting for one freaking bus that took me a distance of 10 minutes on a regular day, that's where I had to get off to get the other bus that went to the station. yeah.. and try walking in that snow eh...... especially that I hate wearing those huge winter boots. I just wear sports shoes / snickers, and if it's exceptionally cold, I wear regular shoes. LMAO.

                  I should add that no one showed up for any of the classes that day, so it was a f*ing waste of time, money, etc. for all. Talk about DUMB. They should've just cancelled classes.

                    -51C (keep in mind that this was with the wind)

                    C = (F-32)(5/9)

                      Wow. That's something big alright. I'm not sure if it has ever occured in Montreal. Maaaaybe once or twice. -45C has been seen quite a few times.

                      South Dakota eh? I always thought it was some warm place with palm trees everywhere...

                      And yes Dan, Toronto is a dull city. Montreal and Quebec City are so much nicer.
