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.

    You let me know if that happens... I'd love to join in.
    I have so much to do and never enough time to do it in (and still maintain my sanity).

    How do you cope with your workload? I think you're far enough along in your program that your coursework is probably done, but I'm having a hard time keeping up with mine and finding the time to be productive researchwise.

    I just don't feel very motivated either. I feel like I'll never be done.

      Re: The Vent Thread

      i hate my roomate getting coked up and passing out at 7 in the morning and sleeping the whole day, i cant even spend some time with my girl in my own room. i hate the fact that i started smoking cigarretes, i hate the fact that i dont have a job right now and have to rely on my parents for money, i hate teachers that make going to class mandatory, like you said, its my money, let me do what i want. I have an 8:05 Statistics class i never go to just because its way too damn early and on the other side of campus and yet i do my reading and have a A- in the class so far having attended about 5 classes all semester. I hate people that say Armenia is in Asia(were european, go f'ck yourself). i hate xxxxty Armenian girls. Im angry im in this country and not where my ancestors have lived for thousands of years. people that c0ckblock should go to hell and take it up the a$$ from the devil every morning bright and early. whoever decided making the drinking age 21 was a good idea is a f'ing prude moron. people that want to outlaw abortion and birth control should go fist themselves, just because you dont get laid, dont be angry at everyone else. i hate meatheads who cant get a girl for their life and think its interesting to start a fight when your with female friends. i want to choke the crap out of Aliev for the crap he talks, i want to get the army together and just shut those bastards up already, hell take a couple of oilfields it couldnt hurt. I hate having the thickest goddamn hair this side of the universe and having to spend so much time on it.

        Why associate with Europe? It's the most boring continent.

        I agree that Aliev is a nasty, putrid, lying, sock-sniffing, Turkish-wannabe bastard.

          because its delicious... and i wouldnt want people thinking were camel jockeys because of our proximity to the middle east, it does much disrespect to our ancestor and our rich, beautiful culture which is rightly and clearly european.

And if someone is talking about a subject which makes someone else feel bad, I always change the subject or do something so that ONE person won't feel bad. Because I wish people would do that for ME sometimes.



              Not all of them.
              People (the younger they are, the more true) are too concerned with making themselves look good to care about other people. They think that by putting other people down or by making others feel bad, stupid, etc that they somehow become less of a socially inept idiot.
              What are you gonna do? You do what you know is right and those who aren't like those inconsiderate people will appreciate it.

                Damn girlie, don't worry, you're right on schedule as far as the emotions you're going through. I've been done with classes for 2 years now and I think I'm a year and a half from defending, but I still feel like the date of the defense is millions of lightyears away.

                There'll be some dark moments when you're confused technically, confused academically, confused career-wise, scared financially (getting fired ), and worried about your timeline. The light will invariably come ... I hope . Time will certainly still be a major pain in the ass though.

                When are you going to propose?

                      When are you going to propose?
                      Propose? Ha! I'll still be working on coursework for at least 2 more years. I could be pretty much done with that at the end of year 2, but I have the damn law classes to take too. I'm going to try finish up in 4 years, but it's very possible that it'll take 5. It's my first year, so I've got a ways to go before thinking about proposals.

                      I'm thinking I'll stay for 5 because although I could finish the requirements (I hope), I don't think 4 years would give me enough time to get some publications out so I can get an academic position when I'm done. I'm not sure if it's the same way in CS, but in psych most journals take months (close to 6 on average) to get back to you on your submission. Most of the time there's a revision required and that's several more months to get feedback on that. If it's accepted, it's not always in the next publication of that journal (which is usually quarterly anyway). So, on the shorter side, it can take a year and you can't submit to multiple journals at the same time.

                      I just feel like it's not as laid back as it could be for grad school. Too many frequent assignments and things and they tend to be inflexible on when they're due.
                      Other students' advice has been that I'm actually reading what's assigned instead of skimming it and that's what's taking too long. How can you skim something unfamilar and understand it? I'm not just trying to get a degree. I need to be able to teach some of these classes. I don't understand how not doing the reading will help with that.

                      Yay for being ABD though! Must feel great!
