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.

    Gas Reformulation

    Have you seen the review on Fox News or NBC News about gas reformulation yet? Think it will work? http://ethos.hgpshop.com

    Re: Gas Reformulation

    Sounds like a total gimmick to me. What's in it? And how is it any different than the bazillion other carb, injector, etc etc etc cleaners or fuel additives that you can buy?

    But if you are going to spend money on that, make sure you get the Tornado too for a lot more savings.
    this post = teh win.

        haha. yep. But now... watch what kinds of gimmics come out...

        POINT: OIL will be gone. We can conserve what we have to buy time... or we can sick out heads in the sand... what is a SMART ACTION?



        If you honestly don't care about humanity, the earth, or the future: GET OUT OF MY WAY! (or, I am kind to most, but I might, ironically, obliterate those who stand in the way of good.)

          Anahita, you should read Michael Crichton's State of Fear. You remind of the irrational environmentalists in there. You're willing to anything to accomplish what is good in your mind, but you never consider the possibility that what you believe is good or necessary may not be.

          We really don't have a way of determining how much oil is left. If you remember that was already attempted and the estimates were very wrong.
          In the 1970s energy crisis they said we'd run out of natural gas and oil soon and there was an emergency to develop alternatives. 30ish years later and thousands of SUVs later, we haven't run out. The estimates may be wrong according to Cornell's Thomas Gold because there may be larger supplies lying below the cavitiies in oil fields which fill up when the pressure drops above.

          Until we're even sure of how oil is "made", how can we guess when it'll run out? So, there really justification to have this fanatical "GET OUT OF MY WAY, I SHALL OBLITERATE YOU" mentality? When you're thinking that way, are you really capable of making rational decisions?
          I'd argue no. When you're that confident that you're right, you don't listen to any information contrary to what you want to believe and that can lead to doing unnecessary harm in the blind quest to do what's beleived to be good.

          So essentially, I'm saying is it possible to come up with "smart action plan(s)" when that emotional and closed-minded?


          And your photo is not of an ostrich, but an emu. Interestingly, ostriches don't hide their heads in the sand. That's a myth.

            Do you ever watch the Mythbusters? They did a show recently on some of these sorts of gas saving methods. It was a good one.

              Who were those 1970s "they"? Were they the same "they" who said that since the oil in the Gulf States won't last there is no sense in America dropping its unquestioning suport for Israel. Were they the same "they" who said that Britain's North Sea oil and gas reserves wouldn't last into the 1990s so Scotland (where those reserves were located) shouldn't seek independence. Were they those same "they" who said that that Norway should join the EU because its oil will run out quickly and there will be economic collapse. And are they the same "they" that now say that there is no problem, that there is plenty oil, and that there will always be new, unspecified, technology just around the corner that will solve every self-created selfishly-created problem.

              That is a completely over the top reaction, I think. There are loads of people who frequent this forum who regularly make very sweeping fanatical and violent comments. Anahita makes one not particularly serious one, and suddenly you are attacking her.

              And your photo is not of an ostrich, but an emu. Interestingly, ostriches don't hide their heads in the sand. That's a myth.
              There are many myths. That does not mean that they are not useful metaphors to express thoughts and ideas. What's the difference between an ostridge and an emu anyway, physical differances that can be seen in that picture?
              Plenipotentiary meow!

                  I watch mythbusters all the time but I haven't seen that episode. I'll keep an eye out for it.

                  Bell, I think Siggie's reaction to Anahita is quite justified here. I mean come on ... I express my view on how most of these "gas saving" tricks are nothing but gimmicks designed to separate you from your money and all of a sudden I am some anti-earth environment thrashing mo-fo?

                  I'm sorry but that's just as rediculous a view as those who get mad at you for not "supporting the troops" when you make some sort of anti-bush comment. It's all the same single-midded "you are with us or against us" bull crap.

                  Just because I don't believe a certain fuel saving gimmick is legit, it doesn't mean I am not interested in fuel saving strategies. THAT is the main reason Anahita is under redicule in the forum because her "passion" for whatever she thinks is right blocks her ability to separate reality from her fantasy.

                  And FYI, Bell, it is not ONE comment ... it's like every thread is her playground to make some sort of vicious comment about how we are all evil for destroyin her Earth. You should follow all threads to know where this is coming from. It's not just because of one post even though that one post itself was very out of line.

                    I would greatly prefer to see a study published in some form of peer-reviewd journal, as opposed to an endorsement from a website heavily subsidized by pretty random-looking advertising and a Fox News special.
