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.

  • Bally total crapness

    I made a thread about how much Balley's total crapness sucks. I don't know if there are any in California, but if there are don't go there. They're freakin thieves.

    Was that thread deleted? Anyway, they suck.

        Yes, but if you have them take out your monthly payment directly from your bank account Bally's has a tendancy to charge you twice a month. They have done that to me and to people I know. I had a membership for 3 years and it has been 4 years I havn't had it and we are still waiting for some of our money back that they took.

          I know someone that chose to mail them a check every month. According to law if a letter is postmarked on a certain date, that's the date it should be concidered as arrived. Just like when you mail something to the IRS for example. Balley total crapness doesn't understand this, and tried to charge late fees when the check was sent on time but didn't arrive on time.

          What finally convinced me that they are intentionally stealing, is when I called a local gym for membership prices and the guy dances around the question. He asked me when I wanted to come in for an "even". Finally after scaring him a little he spit out the membeship prices. When he told me something about a 3 YEAR contract and a downpayment I tuned out. What the hell do I need to put a downpayment for? He said it was like when you put a downpayment on a car. Um yeah, but afterwords I would own the car dummy. Whatever, they're crap. Tell your friends.

            Most gyms require a downpayment and an extended contract. Also, wanting you to go in before you know the price is not stealing; it is marketing. That technique is used in many different ways all over. For example, many manufacturer websites, especially industrial ones, would not list the price. The idea is that if you read about it more then get into a more personal form of communication with a sales representative, you are more likely to purchase a product. I signed a three year contract with Bally's and now I am paying five dollars a month for a premium membership. Is that specific only to Bally's? Probably not. But neither are the negative points. It is a business and all businesses, and that goes for all gyms, try to make as much money as they can. Now I would expect that, as in other forms of service, the smaller the company, the better the treatment. If you dislike the big gyms, find a small one.
