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.

    I'm 25 and I live with my parents. I could move out tomorrow if I wanted to. Why? To shell out $1500 for some crappy apartment when most of that could be going into my savings account for a future house. I help out finanacially and physically with the house and in return I get dinner & laundry. That's the deal @ mi casa. My folks dont care how late I'm out. They dont care if we bring chicks over (as long as we behave), throw pool parties, poker games, whatever.

    Guys have only one reason to move out. Bring chicks over for sex.

    I guess it also has to do with the parents. If you're living in a prison cell and folks are the wardens, then I could see why people would want freedom.

        This thread is kinda cool. Well, I don't really like living away from home, but I was forced to move out. When I was younger, I was almost convicted and my folks decided that I should no longer live at home. They thought I'd be a threat to my younger siblings, so they insisted that I go away for college. It's not so bad.

                For sure.

                But really, being away from home teaches you a lot, especially if you live with a roommate. You learn how to be a lot more independent and assertive. It also makes you realize that you can't xxxx up. You're on your own now. Anyway, I can't really explain it. It's definitely an experience.

                  I lived on my own during my freshman year, with two other roomates. Being away from home teaches you a whole lot. I was always the one that paid the bills and my roomates just paid me their half so I always noticied how much money we spent on water, electricity, and heat. I'd turn into the crazy parent always reminding them to turn off the lights when they leave the room and lower the heat when you leave the apartment. And dealing with the landlord..it was just too much responsibility and dealing with school at the same time, cooking your own food...so this year I just opted for the dorm life with a meal plan, soooo much simplier.
                  It depends a lot on how prepared you are for it, financially, mentally, and emotionally.

                    Moving out teaches you that there really is such a thing as rent.

                      If that was only the case. Some of us pay rent while living at home. We just tend to call it helping the family.
