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.

  • My vow to stop watching television...can it be done?

    Just a few minutes ago I was sitting on the couch watch TV enjoying my Sunday. What I was watching was interrupted by a commercial, and 20 seconds into the commercials I realized I have no freakin clue what show I was watching. If it were a sporting event I would remember, so I assume it was a show or a movie or something.

    I’m super busy during the week but if I can stop watching TV on weekends I would get a lot more done in my estimation. SO ! Much like the Seinfeld episode about being “master of your domain”, I’m vowing to stop watching television.

    I think I’ll last a week or maybe even two…. If it was up to me I would just sell all the television sets, but that wouldn’t be a true test of willpower now would it.

      It's really not hard. I stopped watching it and now that I sometimes catch a glimpse I don't even know what shows are on.

        I have lost all interest in watching TV. Everytime I try to I get bored out of my mind. I watched Oprah two or three weeks ago. Ever since then I have forgotten about Television. Its not that interesting to me anymore. I rather read.

        Once you stop watching, you will forget all about it and hate yourself for paying all the money for cable.

            The internet has taken over the TV era.

                OK I already failed. I watched 30 minutes of This Old House without even thinking about it. I love that freakin show.

                  Why dont you just think of something you can do every time you get the urge for tv? You know, like gum instead of cigarettes. Pick something you like and can do at any given moment. Maybe a book youve always wanted to read, but didnt have time or calling a friend or going to some place you like.

                  I think if you gradually replace tv with something else it will become easier. We are creatures of habit after all. Hope this helps and best of luck!
