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.

        Yes, it is. Did you watch it too? In those years the only friends I had were Ren and Stimpy.

              I've always thought this way. There is nothing unique about any one person that I call a "friend" at any given time. Anyone is replaceable. The only real advantage to having long-standing friends is that they know you well and you know them well. Growing up, however, people change a lot, so that it gets to the point where you are no longer the person they knew and vice versa. No big deal. There are 6 billion people in this world and one is as good as another.

                I completely disagree. People are unique and the bonds of friendship - particularly though specific (soemtimes trying or otherwsie stressful) circumstances creates close and powerful relationships. Even more casual friendships are not (always) just interchangable per se - as there are people of value and those who have special (shared...) interests that are not necissarily just out there in the world - and our lives our short (perhaps your point would be of value if our lives were long enough to have the time to meet all our possible firends or such...). And that you have such a callous attitude concerning the interchangability of people is very telling regarding yourself IMO. You strike me as extremely self-centered, shallow and not at all a very giving person - I find your low value of friends a real deficiency in your outlook - too bad (as it is you who is missing out IMO) - and as you otherwise seem to have alot going for you.

                  I have known two of my best friends since 2nd grade and we've been close friends since then. It was a really weird bond that connected the three of us, we still laugh at how we managed to become friends in the beginning when none of us spoke English. All three of us had just moved to the US and we met in our ESL classes. We went to the same elementary, middle and high school together so we always grew closer and never apart. Now that we all go to different colleges we are slowly growing apart, which kind of scares me so we always try to make every effort to get togther over breaks and catch up on things.

                  If all other friendships in my life fail, at least I have my sisters

                    Yeah I have a friendship type relationship with my two girl cousins in the US. Although neither of them are someone I would naturally befriend.

                      Name me any one person and I'll name you another that is essentially the same person. The only difference is shared experience and the personal affection that comes with it. I'm not that affectionate so, for me, none of that particularly matters.

                      And that you have such a callous attitude concerning the interchangability of people is very telling regarding yourself IMO. You strike me as extremely self-centered, shallow and not at all a very giving person
                      Make whatever conclusions you want; they make little difference to me. I don't value people very much. I value ideas and I value the work that I do, whatever it may be. These are more important to me than people. I don't think that makes me self-centered; it makes me impersonally centered. I don't see why giving should be limited to a small number of people that you call "friends" of why someone that doesn't have many can't be giving.

                      I find your low value of friends a real deficiency in your outlook - too bad (as it is you who is missing out IMO) - and as you otherwise seem to have alot going for you.
                      Everybody misses out on something. As you said, life is short. I choose to miss out on what I don't value much - longstanding, meaningful friendships. On the other hand, I experience a good deal of what I do value. Isn't that the way everyone lives their lives? Am I really such a bad person because what I value is different from what you value?
