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.

    Retrogames

    I'm aware that there have been video game threads before. This thread deals with retrogames, read up on it before you post.

    So does anybody play the classic games anymore? Today I got really nostalgic and played Super Mario All-Stars. It was fantastic. I started to dig up some precious relics, such as my old colorless Game Boy and Game Gear.

    I still believe that God's, Allah's, Yahweh's, Zarathustra's and Japan's greatest gift to the world is the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It had some of the greatest games ever. Aladdin, Chrono Trigger, Final Fight, Goof Troop, Street Fighter, Super Mario World and Tiny Toon Adventures were some of my favorites. There are probably more, but those are the ones that first came to mind.

    I was also quite the Sega Genesis player. Some of the games I played were Aladdin, Mortal Kombat and Sonic the Hedgehog.

    Any retrogamers here? If so, what were your favorite games? Let's discuss some of our fond memories and lather in nostalgia. Wasn't Chun Li's little saying ("Atta!") after she won a battle the most annoying thing ever?

      Re: Retrogames

      I still play red alert tiberian sun quite a bit if that counts as retro.

      A couple months ago, my brother, cousin, and I fired up an old doom multiplayer deathmatch ... that was sweet.

      Occasionally we'll play a short super mario 3 battle on super nintendo but that's about it with the old console... I have almost all of the old NES, SNES, etc games somewhere on my PC I think (emulated) but I can't say I play any.

        Re: Retrogames

        Doom was brilliant. I love that game.

        Super Mario 3 is one of my favorites in the series! It's much better than Super Mario 2, which I didn't care much for.

        I used to have a bunch of those games emulated; Zophar's Domain was a good source. But playing them on the console is a different experience.

            Re: Retrogames

            These games are all better than any games put out by XBox or PS2.

            The Super Mario games and Donkey Kong are all classics!

              I have a sweet spot in my heart for 'kickin' it old school.... Very few kids today would appreciate Pac Man (let aloe try to write a nerd-like version in BASIC.)

              I lived with 3 x-navy nuclear engineers... (talk about not gettin a 'joke' sometimes... sheesh...) One of them was an IT guy and he basically 'played head-to-head DOOM' all the time at his 'job.' He was about to blow a guy visually/video apart, but some 'damn person had to call." No kiddin. He'd actually complain about people who called in for legit IT service for the sofrtware company he worked for....

              THIS is a tiny example of exactly why I will try to keep my kid the hellaway from computer games.

                  I play street fighter on my SNES in bursts of 10-15 mins, whenever I want to take a break. And Starcraft.

                  Actually, since Starcraft came out, I haven't felt the need to upgrade my computer once for gaming.

                    I was addicted to Starcraft a few years ago. I enjoyed it, even though I wasn't very good at it and was always accused of rushing by my teammates. I also remember there being many Koreans on the online servers.
