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.

          A new home for budding filmmakers at USC
          George Lucas and Steven Spielberg help dedicate film school's new 'studio' on campus.
          By Yvonne Villarreal
          March 30, 2009

          The USC School of Cinematic Arts celebrated its 80th birthday Sunday with a dedication ceremony of its new $175-million campus home. Oh, and George Lucas and Steven Spielberg were there too.

          The veteran filmmakers both made brief remarks and were joined by university officials, alumni and hundreds of supporters at the celebration, which also featured a performance by the USC Trojan Marching Band.

          "We're now officially a legitimate school . . . at least we look like one," joked Lucas, one of the school's most famous alumni, and creator of the "Star Wars" franchise.

          Lucas -- whose Lucasfilm Foundation provided $75 million for the new facilities, plus $100 million for the school's endowment -- took a small group of journalists and photographers on a tour of the school's two new structures, the George Lucas and Steven Spielberg buildings.

          The completed facilities have a combined 137,000 square feet of space, and are home to 10 classrooms, 19 conference rooms, eight screening rooms, six editorial labs, three mixing rooms, nine sound editorial rooms, a foley stage and three picture editorial rooms.

          "When I went to school here, we had a large steel desk with a big knob on it," Lucas recalled, while observing two film students at work in the mixing room. "Times have changed. It's much better. Now it's all digital."

          More construction is under way. By 2010, the Animation and Digital Arts building and three production buildings, which will house four sound stages as well as production services, are scheduled to open.

          "Because of George's dedication to the school, we're in the position where we can offer the finest level of instruction," said Douglas Wellman, the school's director of facilities and operations. "And he's been very hands-on. He's approved everything down to the doorknobs."

          Even though studios including Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox and Disney have also donated money to the school, $50 million still needs to be raised.

          "The whole idea is to teach people how to make film," Lucas said. "The people who come out of here are high quality . . . they deserve high-quality facilities."

          Still, the famous filmmaker whose first big box office success came with 1973's "American Graffiti," missed certain elements of his students days at USC. "It was sort of fun in the old, funky days," Lucas said. "You're of your time. I liked the fact that we were rebels."

          Every year since 1973, at least one USC alum has been nominated for an Academy Award, Spielberg told the crowd gathered in a Spanish-style courtyard.

          Spielberg, perhaps the world's most famous director, was rejected from USC's film school as a young man but was awarded an honorary degree in 1994 and became a trustee in 1996. "Since 1980, I've been trying to be associated with this school," joked the 62-year-old filmmaker. "I eventually had to buy my way in."

          When?

          When, he's a Primate.

          & manhood (maturity) there

            No, I don't attend USC (not yet, at least) but I checked out the building when I dropped off my application last month. Obviously, the school is beautiful and their addition has certainly completed the overall look.

            Spielberg, perhaps the world's most famous director, was rejected from USC's film school as a young man but was awarded an honorary degree in 1994 and became a trustee in 1996. "Since 1980, I've been trying to be associated with this school," joked the 62-year-old filmmaker. "I eventually had to buy my way in."
            It's so sad, isn't it? Spielberg was denied admission to USC, more than once I believe, and now he's so respected just because he bought his way in. Spielberg and Lucas practically own the School of Cinematic Arts.
