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 don't like the gift card/money idea. For a supervisor, yeah, its fine. But for a family member or loved one, it just says "hey you know, I didnt care enough or didnt want to take the time to actually pick something out, so here's the money, you go buy something". Plus it doesnt look good for people to open a little envelope with a card under a big christmas tree

    For the present, is the supervisor male/female? hobbies? collector?
    Gift cards are not necessarily the bad and/or thoughtless gift idea you guys make them out to be... Example: I got my sister two gift cards this year, one for American Eagle and the other for Urban Outfitters. I know that she wears clothes from both these places but she is very picky and also her sizes vary so I never know is she is a small or medium (I don't even know my exact size in every store because stores can vary a lot!) so rather than subject her to standing in line to return things, I just got her gift cards so she can shop as she desires. I don't really just put them under the tree in a little card either. She has to work for it! So I stiched them into a teddy bear.

    My parents are born in November (20 and 22) so I just got them gifts for their birthdays, now I am at a loss as to what to get them for Christmas. Any suggestions?

    While you're at it, what should I get my brother??

    I am also not so sure about how this workplace gift etiquette thing works. Anyone have any idea?

      Well, for the workplace, I think it all depends on how close you are to your coworkers/boss. I have 1 coworker and 1 boss, who basically owns this whole company. My coworker and I are very close, like friends, we hang out outside of work...so, I would have to get her something more personal. My boss, he's into the Godfather and Scarface, so maybe I could get him something for his office with a mobster theme. (my entire conference room is FILLED with autographed Scarface stuff...he even had a chair made just like Tony's....dork) Anywho...so yea I dont think I helped you with that, just try to find out what they like...

      As for your parents, that sucks that both of their bday's are in Nov. LOL For Christmas, I'm getting my mom and I a day at a spa in Orange County. I heard it's the best. If you want details, I can find out for you...I used to buy my dad cigars, even though he never smoked them..he used to collect them.

        My supervisor is an older woman... she's is about 62. She is very religious and she's Philipino. She's into plants. I would get her a nice plant but she has so many. There's like no more room in her office for anything else. I don't know why but I feel uncomfortable getting her lotions or body washes or stuff like that. I was thinking of getting her like a nice scarf...but thats too little.

          ...a nice beaded scarf would be perfect for her. It's an evening look, and it's elegant. I got one from Guess. It's brown with these tiny beads on it. VERY VERY NICE! How about perfume? For an older lady, I suggest Chanel or Sensi by Armani.

              As for all the other co-workers, all the close ones are all women, I'm going to get them these cozy cute slippers from Macy's and those cute little perfumes they have at Victorias Secret... the ones that are in the ornaments. And for everyone else on my floor (there's about 50 people), I'm going to give them each a card and some sort of candy.

                I think I'll go with the scarf... she likes scarves. I got her perfume for her birthday

                  Oh and another thing I love about the Holidays... office parties... you get to party during work and get paid for it . It starts with Thanksgiving and like every week a different department has a party... and then there's a huge party for the whole building... It's so fun

                      I'm not so sure about that... This year, during the "building" Christmas Party, they are making all the men dress up like elf's... for what I don't know.

                      And besides... all my co-workers tend to get kind of heavy during this time of year... I think its from all the parties
