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.

    Fanatics...

    The idea of being a fan of a given sports team seems ridiculous to me. Bill Maher, responding to people that say "we won" when a team succeeds, said: "No, you didn't win anything... ten guys who, if they knew you would hate you, won." And it is true. Being loyal to a team because they supposedly represent your city does not make sense. It reflects absolutely nothing on the quality of your city or the coolness of the people in it. It represents the quality of a coach, who, mind you, may have come from another city, and the quality of trades and how much money the owners have and are willing to pay people who, even though they get payed milions to play a game, still have the audacity to get pissed off on the court and lie and make it seem like they are greatful to fans for being phucking stupid. If the players of two sports teams were miracluously swapped, suddenly everyone will be a fan of the new team. Why? If all of the players from a team split up and go to five or six different teams, does the fan now have five or six different favorites? Does he still support the new line-up of the orginal team? I watch sports to see a good game; I do not care who is playing and who is losing as long as it is an entertaining game to watch.

      Indeed. Say that to Toronto Maple Leafs fans... Can you say LAME?

        All this hoopla about the Sports fanaticism eludes. How the hell can anyone be fanatic about spectator sports? It seems to me only the simpletons and the nerfbrains would be fanatic about something that is absolutely pointless, other than to kill time and avoid hw.

        Quite frankly, I hate the Lakers. I hope their whole team dies or something when the Laker bus or plane crashes. The hell with them. And I don't care if they win or lose, my life is perfectly left untouched either way. When these idiots start riots because of their favored team winning or losing, then I wish I had a private army I can march and shoot these bungholes.

          All this anger over such a trivial issue that has no bearing on your life. Why?

                Well, I like watching good hockey. I do have a favourite team, but not for any bandwagon reasons, such as the players being "hot" or the team being the local team. I respect certain teams and I prefer that they win rather than those who whine 24/7.

                  Sports > your lives

                  It's true, it's true.

                    i happen to agree with you dusken. seeing all these overy fanatic people with flags of there favorite 'citys' team logo on there cars, shirts, and what not gets really annoying, especially when the reason they like the team is not particulary for the whole team, or because they like one player who is a superstar, or simply because it represents your city.

                    and what was all that bullxxxx rioting going on at the staple center a few years back when the lame lakers lost? that was sort of a representation of the idiots living here (shrugs).

                    i agree anonymouse, i hope the whole team dies of cancer or something, or at least the dumbass fans who have no clue. (and im not talking about sports fans in general, im just talking about the pin head fans who dont know why they like a team, or liking a team for dumb reasons)
                    words are meaningless and forgettable...
                    words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm.
