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.

        I am, unfortunately, very familiar with Alex Grey. I do not like him at all. You probably know of him through Tool.

          Good guess, duskenson. But if you don't mind me asking, why don't you like him? As in his work, or him as a person?

            Him as a person: Because he is weird for the sake of being weird. And no cracks about my online personality.

            Him as an "artist": I think his stuff is boring. It does not say anything artistic to me. It is spiritual and decorative. To me, neither are necessary characteristics of art.

              Him as a person: Well....I don't know if I'd say he's doing it just for the sake of being wierd. You should see some of the customers that shop at my work place, and the psychotic methods they have for selecting which nutritional supplements they should pick. One lady demonstrated on me by telling me to hold the bottle up to my heart with my right arm, and then hold the left arm out straight out to the side. She then proceeded to push down on my left arm, then repeated the proceedure with the other like supplement. Afterwards, she said "see? You had a stronger resistance when I pushed your arm down on the first bottle. That means it's the one you should go with". I'd like to think those customers were just doing it to be funny or seem wierd, but I know they're not. If someone can be on that extreme, I can see Alex actually being what his image portrays.

              Him as an artist: Boring? I'd say anything but. Art doesn't require any characteristics. That would be setting boundaries, which art should not be limited to. The only thing art "needs" to be is a form of expression on some level. He is expressing his outlook on life, be it philosophical, or not. I can understand if that's not your thing, but I wouldn't call it unartistic because of it. I don't consider pieces like the collective unconscious to be mere decoration. It is not something readily accepted by many people, making it sort of hard to decorate your business hallway with it. But this is what he sees when he looks out at the world, and I like what he sees quite a bit. Obviously, to each their own.

                words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm.
