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.

        Anonymous Man Gives $35,000 to Homeless







        One resident of a homeless shelter shows off a $100 bill he received from the mysterious donor.

        Broadband Video:
        Homeless Get $35,000 in Cash



        DENVER (Dec. 26) - Residents of Samaritan House didn't know what to expect when the bearded, middle-aged man parked his sport utility vehicle in front of the downtown homeless shelter Christmas Eve.

        The man walked into the building, pulled out a thick roll of $100 bills and began passing them out to each of the approximately 300 residents.

        When he was finished, he had given out $35,000.

        "It was like seeing Santa Claus and God all at once," said William Chengelis, who has lived at the shelter since November. "You hear about stuff like that but you don't think you'll be there when it happens."

        As a crowd gathered, the man said he had once been homeless and knew what it was like to be in need. He did not identify himself and said only that he lived in Denver and had also distributed money at a Las Vegas shelter.

        Possibly the man's biggest single donation was $5,000 to a family of six to find housing.


        You Said It




        Louis Quezada, Tessa Wittner and their four children had been living with Quezada's parents but were thrown out after an argument. They had been in the shelter several days.

        "He asked if he gave us the money, would we get a house with it," said Quezeda, 23. "We said yes."

          Well, thats good to hear....most of the "nouveau riches" are acting greedily and often don't want to deal with the people they shared the life with before they got wealthy.

                i'll post it since it won't highlight the link:


                october 2004 - volume 5, no. 2

                stress buster!

                random acts of kindness

                Research shows that being on the receiving end of an act of kindness increases your serotonin levels. Serotonin is a chemical in the brain that is related to feeling good. Depression and headaches are linked to low levels of serotonin. By participating in situations that increase serotonin production you will lower your stress levels and increase your sense of peace and joy in your life.

                The great news about acts of kindness is that it isn’t just the receiver who benefits. The person who delivers the act of kindness also benefits and it doesn’t stop there. Anyone who witnesses the act or later hears about it also benefits. The recipient doesn’t need to know the person who generated the act of kindness either.

                Random acts of kindness could include things like paying the bridge toll for the motorist behind you, giving someone a kind word or bringing them an unexpected cup of coffee. It could mean letting someone into a line up ahead of you or letting them into traffic.

                Whatever your choice, you feel better, they feel better and you cannot even begin to predict how many other people will be affected by your act. Add it to your must do list today. –
