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.

    Woman Dies Of Sitting On Couch

    This is one of the most shocking yet hilarious pieces of news I have ever read. Of course, I was just left wondering, how could this be? There are so many unintentionally hilarious things in the article, that I did not count.

    What do you find hilarious about the article? This is just plain sad. The woman was obviously neglected for all these years. She stayed on the couch so much that her skin granulated onto the surface of the couch. It's horrible that the guy who lived with her didn't do anything about it. The man is quoted as saying He has told them he tried repeatedly to get her up, but simply couldn't.
    Well, duh, if you can't lift her get somebody to help you! The stupidity of people these days is amazing

      Before I posted this link, I knew people would miss the humor and jump on the sad card. But how is an enviroment created for you to stay put for 5 YEARS!!!??? I can't even stand to sit in the same position for 2 hours. I don't know how I feel but it's a mix between laffter, horror, confusion, and a bit of disgust against the human race.

        Exactly, it's as much as the womans fault as the caretakers. She didn't get attached to the couch from the beginning, it took awhile to happen. Even if she was morbidly obese, that took years to develop. So she could have left that couch in the beginning. I dunno, it's very weird.

          I think the couch manufacturer is missing a golden marketing opportunity. Who else can say their couches are so comfortable that someone decides to sit in it for 5 years and fuse their skin with their fabric? Makes my micofiber couches seem a little less special. Only in Amerikka.

          Couldn't her family just start putting her food out of her reach....forcing her off the couch? But anyway, her name was Gayle Grinds!

            I think it's absolutely ridiculous to blame anyone for not taking care of this woman. I mean, she obviously let herself go in such a way that tells us she had no self respect. It seems like she actually died 6 years ago that very day she decided not to get up from her couch.

              I have to agree. I'm sorry, but I can't feel pity for someone like this. You don't grow a fat ass overnight...it's a gradual change led by choice.

                Didn't you know? Humans are no longer responsible. Obesity is a disease. And if you don't exercise and eat fast food everyday, this woman's caretaker is to blame.

                    I would call this an example of symbiosis. Ahhh, nature never fails to surprise.
