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.

  • Two Years Left!!

    I know it is too early to be thinking about what will happen to me in two years from now...but it is my future!! I wanna know what is going to happen to me and my future and i don't want a "psychic"!! I have always wanted to become a doctor...i think i should go to CSUN, get my GE's and major in BIOLOGY...then transfer to UCLA and start Pre-Med...after that i can get my doctor's degree, i need to go and get residency for 8 years to become what i want to be...a heart surgeon...Right now i go to Providence High School in Burbank California and i am in the Medical Program...yes you heard right the Medical Program!! I need someone to tell me if it is worth "wasting" 15 years of my life on school after college to become what i want to be...instead of just going to school for 7 years and becoming a nurse...an RN or OBGYN!!

    HELP ME!!

    "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." - Confucius

    One of the toughest specialities is a cardiac surgeon. If you choose to go that route, be prepared to spend years in school/residency/etc, etc. YOU need to make the choice. A RN and surgeon are 2 different things. Both have their pluses and minuses.

    I have chosen to become a surgical tech, which is basically a surgeons assistant. Here is an overview of my chosen career: Surgical technology is one of the most demanding professions out there. It ranks up there with underwater welding and putting out oil field fires. We’re not surgeons, yet we have to know the surgical procedures; we're not nurses, yet we have to know nursing procedures; we’re not anestheologists, yet we have to know about anesthetic agents.

    It's up to you, think hard about it. It would suck to attend medical school, then 2 years later you decide it's not for you. I think you should talk to people in the career fields you are interested in, then you'll make a better choice.

      Yea, I agree with what Emil said. If you know what you want, that's the way to go. And you will succeed. If you don't like what you're doing, then no matter how hard you try, there will always be a gap left. trust me.

      good luck!

        I am so glad that you already know what you want to do. You have two years left of high school and you already began planning a path to your career. I say stick to that path.....that same path of becoming a doctor. Go For It. After every struggle there's a reward
        Yea, I agree with what Emil said

                    My advice is work in a few different industries to get a sense of what it's all about. Do things that scare you a little. And take people's advice with a grain of salt. You know how they say "you've got your whole life in front of you". You do, grab it by the balls.....Talking about this makes me feel old....I'm done.
