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.

        You can press Print Scrn (next to F12) while having the article opened and that will copy it as an image. Then go to eather photoshop or Paint program and paste it there. You'll see it and you can delete the extra junk. Make it into an image, save it and just post it like that I guess.

        AOL knows AIM is better. Duh!
        I see...

          When posting a copyrighted article, only post a small portion of it, and be sure to put it in quotes. Post the rest as a link. If the link doesn't work for non-AOL members, just look for the story elsewhere. I'm sure it's around.

              yes, it is sad from the earthly point of view! however, the beautiful loving and caring way people respond and open their hearts to this little child and appreciate their own lives and its sweetness makes his journey to earth a blessing for all and shows God's perfection through our loving response and sympathy--- One of the rarest occasions where there were no bashing, hateful posts in the comments section of aol! now, that's a miracle in itself!!~~God bless you little Mattie

                When I die, I want to be
                A child in Heaven.
                I want to be
                A ten-year-old cherub.
                I want to be
                A hero in Heaven,
                And a peacemaker,
                Just like my goal on Earth.
                I will ask God if I can
                Help the people in Purgatory.
                I will help them think,
                About their life,
                And their spirits,
                About their future.
                I will help them
                Hear their Heartsongs again,
                So they can finally
                See the face of God,
                So soon.
                When I die,
                I want to be,
                Just like I want to be
                Here in Earth.

                  Thank You, God,
                  Not just for life,
                  But for our journey through life.
                  Life is a miracle,
                  And a journey through life
                  Is so full of so many more miracles
                  If we travel with our Heartsongs.
                  Thank You, God,
                  For blessing me with the
                  Gift of Heartsongs,
                  So that I can enjoy my miracles.

                    Our eyes are for looking at things,
                    But they are also for crying
                    When we are very happy or very sad.
                    Our ears are for listening,
                    But so are our hearts.
                    Our noses are for smelling food,
                    But also the wind and the grass and
                    If we try very hard, butterflies.
                    Our hands are for feeling,
                    But also for hugging and touching so gently.
                    Our mouths and tongues are for tasting,
                    But also for saying words, like
                    "I love you," and
                    "Thank You, God. For all of these things."
