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.

    Re: Question to Anonymouse - From "Traditional man and country"

    There is life thousands of feet below ground level in caves and in the depths of the oceans where no sunlight has reached. It's possible. That was not the point of this discussion however. It's about evolution, no? So, don't get sidetracked by an expression.

    A theory in science is not the same as colloquial use of the word theory. A scientific theory is strongly supported, whereas common use of "theory" by laypeople typically is referring more to an untested hypothesis.

    Vartan, I've had brief discussion about evolution with KanadaHye and Anonymouse. Neither understand the theory, so be prepared for that as you begin this debate.

    Anonymouse thinks that if we cannot sit down and observe evolution happen before our eyes in one session, then it is false.

    Kanadahye thinks evolution is linear and that the theory says that an ape gave birth to a human. The concept of common ancestors is lost on him.

      This is a scientific matter, not some kind of "poltical" or chatroom like BS talk. What kind of argument is that?
      By the way, did you prove that life cannot exist without the sun?

        I suppose crapping out of my peran and eating with my vorr is also possible... but until I evolve to that point, it doesn't work that way.

          Dre, have a tiny bit of respect! I will not ask you again. How about making an actual argument rather than just being disgusting and crass?

          There has been life seen, studied, etc in the situation I described. Whereas, I believe your eating out of your @ss has yet not been studied by scientists.

              You know me, I like to toss in a bit of humour here and there.

                When in the world did I claim that I thought an ape gave birth to a human? I have some pretty hairy relatives, but by no means would I confuse them with apes.

                  You're right, that was not the point but I don't mind and it's maybe a good introduction to what evolution is. It's hard to dissociate the concepts of evolution and life.

                  If life exists thousands of feet below ground level then it's not untested hypothesis. I think that for Kanadahye "theory" means that either he does not understand well enough or he won't admit that he's wrong.

                  Thanks for the warning.

                    PROVE me wrong.
