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.

    I don't think a poll would work because we'll all vote for our own books. If we suggest multiple books, there will too many to include in a poll (the cap is fifteen) and no one book may get more than one vote. I say we just go in alphabetical order, but since this was your idea, your book can go first. What's your pick?

      You know people, I fully understand that some of us might not like the books of others but for the sake of making this work, can we just agree to read on books we don't want to read?

      Loser, I don't know which book, I have several I would like to read right now.

      For one, I would like to re-read Catch-22, The Gods of Eden, The Brothers Karamazov, or Paranoia.

        Heck, dude, flip a coin. You can read whatever you want. The question is which will we read and discuss?

          Originally posted by anileve Has anyone read "Billy Budd" by Herman Melville? I find it to be the dullest book that ever existed aside from John Steinbeck's and xxxxinson's bore. It's sad that this is a requirement in the program of Literature, there are so many other writers which are so much more profound. I am having a very hard time getting through the reading, the diction is awful and I keep dwelling into sleep every time I try to get through one page. What do you guys think and what can you tell me about the book to make it easier on me?

          Not a perfect book to discuss, but it is on topic and you can help a struggling soul.
          This has nothing to do with the club. Post this in the What are you Reading thread.

            Well I want to read something that we can all read and discuss. What does everyone think of "The Gods of Eden"?

              I'm in too.

              I want to be intellectualized.

              (So I won't use words like "intellectualized anymore).

                Originally posted by anileve Well why don't you move it then? You have the moderating powers.
                It isn't necessary to move a single post. Just post your question in the appropriate thread and there's no problem.

                  Gods of Eden sounds quite interesting. When should we have it picked up and started?

                      So its either:

                      The Gods of Eden by William Bramley

                      or

                      The Idea of History by R. G. Collingwood
