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.

  • Sigma for Siggie

    I decided to get this lens instead of the $700 Nikkor one and it's EXCELLENT!



    I've taken a few pictures already and it looks great. Great, great, great! I just brought the wrong usb adapter w/ me, so I can't upload them yet. Poo!

    Sigma has made Siggie VERY VERY happy!

    Keep an eye out for some photos

    Hey we use a Sigma lens that looks like that, though I am sure it's quite different due to the UV light capabilities it has, on the machine we use to take pictures of DNA gels at work. I look forward to seeing your pictures.

      I can't wait to take them... Teehee. I drove my brother to school w/ me and he has class til 5. I'd leave him and go home to my usb cable otherwise. I havn't taken any particularly good pictures, but just a few that show the capabilities of the lens. I want to see them close up. The little LCD screen is not sufficient.


      Wanna model for me CK? It's supposed to make a good portrait lens.

        Oh yes, and while this lens does do macro work -- i don't think it can do dna
        Would DNA make good art?

          Haha, never! :-D Pictures leave behind an incriminating paper trail. I don't believe in leaving behind any kind of 'proof'. Just ask anyone. hehe

          Nah, DNA on a gel is just ugly bands and unless you have a super duper high microscope, there's no way you're getting a good picture of actual DNA which is very much better looking than a gel.


          Electron microscope 'art' is pretty cool:

              Yes sir. So, you'd better leave. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
