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.

  • Do you have high speed internet?

    I am still on dial-up, but I plan to get Verizon DSL within a month, hopefully. Comcast also offers cable internet in my area, but it's about $20 more than Verizon. I also get a free modem and wireless router from Verizon, so I can hook up my other computer also.

    So, do any of you have Verizon DSL? Do you like it?

    Yes I have SBC DSL. Sadly I have to disconnect it this next weekend because I am moving and it will be about a week or two before I get back online.

        Yea, SBC is pretty good and has been good to me for the 3 or 4 years I've had it. No lag at all. It used to be Pacific Bell.

            i've got roadrunner...i couldn't ask for anything more...i've found DSL to be slower and painful, which makes the cost cheaper. (not to mention, comp pricing to gain subscribers to jam up their lines)

              Roadrunner. It's good stuff. I have every computer in my house connected to the internet (4 of 'em) and we all have great fast connection.

                DSL lines don't get "jammed up". If DSL works, then the line between you and the provider is dedicated and the speed (bandwidth) is pretty much determined by how far you are from the switch.

                Cable is shared ... so if a lot of people in the neighborhood happen to be surfing the web or downloading porn, then your connection will degrade ... sometimes significantly.
                this post = teh win.

                    I have business line SBC DSL, my download speed is 1.4 Mb, my upload speed is 750Mb, The weird thing is i used to pay 60 bucks, cause of business, once i called to pay over the phone, they said if i subscribe for another year (i had subscribed only 2 months ago) they would give it for 35 bucks a month.. i didnt take my time to think about that one.. lol..

                    yes, i have high speed dsl, and it is better than cable.. for the reasons seaphan explained.. also.. if you want to know about the quality.. you may have a poblem depending on how far ou are from the nearest switch. In burbank i had crappy connection.. in Glendale i couldnt be happier.

                    dial up?? i cant believe it still exists.!
