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.

    Money Concerns for Recent Graduates

    With the money I pay every month for my loans I could afford the rent to live alone somewhere for $1500/month. Writing those checks is SO hard. Damn you loans!!!!!

    Serves you right for going to a private university.
    I'm excited about the tuition waivers in phd programs. Except John Jay College (CUNY) that I really really really would LOVE to go to, who doesn't offer that. What's wrong with them? Argh.
    That's when I'd have to take out loans. Living in Manhattan and having to pay 8k a year for school won't be easy. Beats USC tuition though, so I guess it could be worse.
    I probably won't even get in there, so it won't be an issue. Not gonna get my hopes up on that one.

      But see I have it all rationalized in my head. If I hadn't gone to USC I would never have gotten the job that pays me that much a month, entry level, so I wouldn't have any money. So with the degree, I have the job, I have the salary, and once I pay back the loan it's all mine, MIIINE! :-D

          Why do you want a slave?

          You DO know slavery was abolished quite a few years ago, right?

            It's obvious why I want a slave and I ask it to you because I've heard at school, that slavery was legal in the US...isn't it?

              Yeah, 'cause you know, no one from a cheaper school ever gets a job at 40K a year, right?

                I can't wait til I'm done with school in 3 or 4 years. It'll be great. 9-10 years so I can make 40-45K. It'll be so great. ARGH!
                b/f was making 60K out of high school before the dot com crash. He's back up to that level now. Just finished B.A. and is due for another raise in a few months.
                It's not fair! Why should a systems manager make more than an asst. professor?

                  I didn't say no one from a cheaper school gets a salary. I was rationalizing MY going to USC, not anything anyone else did. Also, if I had gone to community college and then transferred then I wouldn't have gotten out as soon as I did. As for my salary, I never said I make only 40K a year.
