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.

  • Does Anybody Think The Overdue Cali Earthquake Is Almost Here?

    I forgot when it was, but people kept talking about the overdue California earthquake. Apparently, it hits every couple of years, and it's been really overdue. They said it normally hits in June, I think. I honestly forgot all the details.

    Anyway, they said it might be this year, and that it would be huge. And for the past month or so, after midnight, birds have been suddenly chirping here. You know how they chirp and sing in the early morning? Well, they've been doing it at around 3am. Very strange. Everyone I know has heard it at that time.

    People say it's because the earthquake is coming. What do you guys think? I think it's like one of those things, when a dog barks just before an earthquake. Or whatever it was. So, who's scared?

      I think one of the most dangerous time in terms of a seismic window for CA this year was between March 26-April 02.

      "In astronomy, a syzygy is a situation where three celestial bodies are positioned along a straight line. The word is usually used in context with the Sun, Earth, and the Moon or a planet, where the latter is in conjunction or opposition. Solar and lunar eclipses occur at times of syzygy, as do transits and occultations. The term is also applied to each instance of New Moon or Full Moon when Sun and Moon are in conjunction or opposition, even though they are not precisely on one line with the Earth."

      Also see (regarding a theory of Syzygy and the earthquake that triggered the Indonesian tsunami--one of the saddest and most traumatic events I've seen) http://www.direct.ca/trinity/tidalquake/index.htm

      Animals are much more aware of major earth changes—they are in tune with the rhythms of nature. Humans have that ability, too. But people have forgot that knowledge. Before earthquakes, often animals behave strangely. I think humane societies in the US get inundated with animals that flip out and run away. Most wildlife excaped the tsunami in Indonesia because they sensed it coming and fled for higher ground. Some indigenous tribes also lost no members.

      I do strongly suspect that the US will get hit with more catastrophic hurricanes this year (the storms that reach the East coast won’t be nearly as strong as the gulf storms—due to human-caused global warming). (If Houston gets hit major oil production would be quickly altered.)

      [Edit: The major damage from Katrina was not done by nature. The damage was from environmental racism/classism (and I was screaming at the Bush administration before anyone even mentioned that on news. I was VERY loudly telling FEMA to get people out and the Corp of Engineers in...Meanwhile, the ADMINISTRATION KNEW DAMN WELL that the levies (that they cut funding for) would likely go unless they acted immediately... Kanye spoke truth, in my opinion. Nature wasn't really to blame. But more rant on that somewhere later.]

        When megalopolis cities are built on top of major fault lines, those cities WILL experience major earthquakes. The same holds for people building homes in San Francisco hills VERY prone to landslides; or people who build in the chaparral hills (ecologically must burn to regenerate) of southern California http://www.radford.edu/~swoodwar/CLA...dit/medit.html
        The natural wetlands that once protected the Louisiana coast (and the people who lived there) from surge and hurricanes have been almost entirely been drained for oil and real estate.

        People wonder why ‘god/nature’ did this to them (wildfire/earthquake/hurricane or any other natural even that has always happened), but don’t realize the bigger problem.

        This isn’t an exact analogy, but there is an ‘old Indian’ man telling a story (in a movie) about a person who found a rattlesnake and captured the snake for a pet, fed, and cared for it. Then, one day, the snake bit the person.
        The victim asked, “Why would you do this to me?”

        The snake replied, “Look, you knew I was a snake when you chose to pick me up and capture me.”

        Maybe we (as humanity) shouldn't do things that go against all that is natural logic? These things might seem fine to each that does, but these poor choices will come back to bite in the butt... so to speak.

              It doesn't really phase me at all. But maybe if we can get the government to set up permanent base camps and monitoring stations around the city every 15 blocks and check points and rationing for the populace we will all be safe!

                Haha. I think I care more for gas than this earthquake. Gas prices are seriously getting insane. I can't believe we can't do anything about it, and pay for it anyway. Earthquakes scare me, though. Expensive gas scares me more, I guess.

                  I've been talking about that all along (including on this thread)...
                  and singing and being sung to about.

                  People seem to this this is too bizzare to accept (yet walking on water... parting of seas... etc is a 'given' for many in doubt. I have NO DOUBT that much of what I say here is... well let's say, IMPORTANT. I picked this forum to say things for specific reasons.

                  WILL this happen? Yes, One-way. There WILL be a major earthquake that will mostly level a major CA city. What I can't say right now is the when part.
