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.

      This is your destiny Anonymouse

      Anonymouse, realize that the future is already set. Choice, free will, chance, possibility, all these are illusions conjured up by man in order to make himself think that he exists in a reality he has control over, when in fact there is no control as all things have already been determined from the start when the first causal domino was tipped precipitating an almost infinite domino chain of events, the necessarily interconnected effects of which make every future thing a mechanical mathematical certainty.

      For example, think about your choice to visit this website. Was it really choice, choice being defined as that act of volition which determines between differing possibilities? If so, then you in fact COULD have chosen NOT to have visited this website. But think about this, how could you have chosen not to visit here when EVERY preceding event leading up to your apparent "choice" to visit here made you in fact visit here? How could you have chosen to take a path that was never set up by the causal factors necessary for setting that path up? The fact is, you never had a real choice because it was in the making long before you even knew this website existed. And logically this is the way it is with all events.

        You're STEALING THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH. HOW DARE YOU THIEF!

        You know it's funny, no one really knows. We like to believe that its all predetermined, but perhaps it really is just choice? I know the Matrix is too much to argue against now since its the top spot in the box office, but you know, opinions go either way and since solid fact on this planet is evanescent, all we are left with are but opinions.

          That's the beauty of philosophy. Philosophize all you want, but in the end you're all full of xxxx since truth is probably so distant to what we know and it would hurt to know. Imagine knowing how we got here and how we will end and what all this crap means. That would be chaotic for the "human condition".

            What do YOU believe? You believe it's choice? Or do you believe it's predetermined? Do you think that it's by choice you are the senior post xxxxx on this forum? (notice use of smilies, please don't start a jamo with me.)

              Hmmmmmm. Is it just me, or is the "edit" button not showing? I put the "I did no such thing 8)" text, in the wrong area in my previous post.

              Oh well..onwards we go.

                    No no Jamos for me.

                    I guess you can argue that things are predetermined, how the ancients relied on the alignments of the stars and planets to determine the future, or the equinox in such astronomical precision. Mathematics is the universal language here. It is all predetermined. 2+2 = 4. Even before we come to finding it, it exists already. We only discover it. Any invention on this planet is merely the discovery of some hidden law or principle within this nature.

                    I suggest everyone read the following link. Really good reading, although for first timers you might either scratch your head in disbelief or not understand anything you read.

                    Visit this link and you'll gain a more thorough understanding.
