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.

  • Question

    Here is something maybe some of you will respond to (at least i hope you will, or else all I have is a conversation with myself pretty much, and I am tired of those already ).... this may sound like one of those annoying questions they ask at interviews, but in case you'd like to tell -
    What has been the most catastrophic event, the most trying state you have endured, the time when you feel cornered, pushed to the limit and could almost feel your defenses cracking but there was just one way to go-- forward. What do you think is the best source of motivation, strength in such a situation?

      the REAL moral is?

      One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried
      piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
      Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered
      up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

      He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each
      grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the
      donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to
      everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the
      farmer looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw.

      As every shovel of dirt hit his back, the donkey did something amazing.
      He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors
      continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and
      take a step up.

      Pretty soon, everyone was amazed, as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off.

      The Moral:
      Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to
      getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of
      our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells
      just by not stopping, never giving up!

      The donkey later came back, caught the farmer out in the field and
      kicked the xxxx out of him. Then he went over to each of his neighbors
      farms and kicked the xxxx out of them too for helping.

      The REAL Moral:
      When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to get you.

        Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
        Talent will not; the world is full of unsuccessful men with talent.
        Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
        Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.



        The rest is irrelevant

            Well, on August 14th I believe, I realized that I had to LEAVE Armenia. That was pretty trying. Motivation? Knowing that I'll go back soon.

            Don't mind me, I'm having another Armenia craving today...

              I loved it there when I went to Armenia too. You're right, not quite on the subject, but right anyway. I want to go back there as soon as I can. I think my next visit will be with one of those 'rebuild Armenia' groups, since I have done the tourist-y visit already. I think someday I should like to live there part-time or at least have a home there I can call home, you know?


              Side Note: Hey Baron I was born on Canada. Alberta, actually. And a large chunk of my family lives in Montreal (Quebec is in Montral, right?) errr, yeah. It seems kids from there are light years ahead in maturity. i applaud you for that. haha I talk like i am so old. hehe.

                Don't you know that Einstein said "Talking to yourself is a sign of intelligence. Answering yourself, however, is a sign of insanity."

                  Well it seems the only thing Einstein was good for was his quotes anyway, such as "Our technology has surpassed our humanity".

                  He should have been a philosophy major, since even the famed e=mc2 is something not of his idea which he stole from earlier scientists such as Poncaire and Olinto de Pretto.

                    :P I like einstein's theory of relativity: "Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, feels like an hour. Talk to a pretty girl for an hour, feels like a minute. Now that's relativity!"
