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.

    Anyway, it's September folks, and it means New Years is almost around the corner. It also means that it's time to start thinking about New Year's resolutions. I, for one, am resolving to give up smoking, a task which should be should be made significantly easier by the fact that I don't smoke.

        Some thoughts / instructions for life:

        Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

        Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have, or loaf all you want.

        When you say, "I love you," mean it.

        When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.

        Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.

        Love deeply and passionately. You may get hurt, but it's the only way to live life completely.

        In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

        Don't judge people by their relatives, or by the life they were born into.

        Teach yourself to speak slowly but think quickly.

        When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"

        Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

        Call your mother and father.

        Say, "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.

        When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

        Follow the three "Rs": Respect for self, Respect for others, Responsibility for all your actions.

        Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

        When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

        Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.

        Marry a person you love to talk to. As you get older, his/her conversational skills will be even more important.

        Spend some time alone.

        Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

        Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

        Read more books. Television is no substitute.

        Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

        Trust in God but lock your car.

        In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

        Don't just listen to what someone is saying. Listen to why they are saying it.

        Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.

        Be gentle with the earth.

        Never interrupt when you are being flattered.

        Mind your own business.

        Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.

        If you make a lot of money, put it to use helping others while you are living. It is wealth's greatest satisfaction.

        Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

        Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

        Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

        Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

        Live with the knowledge that your character is your destiny.

        Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.
        The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. -- F. Scott Fitzgerald

              This is incorporated in our companies training, we are supposed to smile while we answer the phone, and we even have secret callers.. LOL.. so yes, i have even noticed it myself this does make a difference in your tone of voice.

                  I thought I'd post Metallica's lyrics of "One", to make us think about war ( again ). I may be one of the few in here who appreciates the wisdom of (old) Metallica lyrics. The band often had great anti-war, anti-state, pro-liberty messages.

                  I can't remember anything
                  Can't tell if this is true or dream
                  Deep down inside I feel to scream
                  This terrible silence stops me

                  Now that the war is through with me
                  I'm waking up, I cannot see
                  That there's not much left of me
                  Nothing is real but pain now

                  Hold my breath as I wish for death
                  Oh please God, wake me

                  Back in the womb it's much too real
                  In pumps life that I must feel
                  But can't look forward to reveal
                  Look to the time when I'll live

                  Fed through the tube that sticks in me
                  Just like a wartime novelty
                  Tied to machines that make me be
                  Cut this life off from me

                  Hold my breath as I wish for death
                  Oh please God, wake me
                  Now the world is gone I'm just one

                  Oh God help me Hold my breath as I wish for
                  Death
                  Oh please God, help me

                  Darkness
                  Imprisoning me
                  All that I see
                  Absolute horror
                  I cannot live
                  I cannot die
                  Trapped in myself
                  Body my holding cell

                  Landmine
                  Has taken my sight
                  Taken my speech
                  Taken my hearing
                  Taken my arms
                  Taken my legs
                  Taken my soul
                  Left me with a life in Hell

                      Indeed, it was inspired by that movie.
