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.

      No, it was lazyness.
      Ya see, I started to read the thread from the top down, then read it from the bottom up, but failed to read the middle coz that bit looked rather boring.
      Very sorry Ari.
      And thanks for being so honest about your ignorance karoaper!

        PS, anyone know if I am right in my assumption that there were no canned drinks, beer or anything, in the Soviet Union? I remember around 1992 I was on a train from Batumi to Tiblisi and was sharing a compartment with a Georgian family. They offered me food, and in exchange I gave them some cans of Fanta that I had brought from Turkey. They had no idea how to open them, and had never seen drinks from cans before. They took the empty cans away with them, to show to friends.

        In Turkey you couldn't buy canned soft drinks until the late 1980s - and even then they were all imported from Cyprus.

          Wow, I thought I would never see it: A post by bell-the-cat that's not "vacuous and bombastic", patronizing or condecending...just a simple question as if he was a nice guy (but we know better ).

              And I thought a couple of AU blokes for the weekend was a little odd… (Human Soul, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) US $15,000

              "What you are bidding on here is my very own soul. the immaterial part of a person...The winner of the bidding will receive an official-looking certificate verifying the transfer with my full name as the original owner of the soul, my signature to verify my willingness to sell my soul, and a professional wax seal. After your successful bid on this item, you will be able to claim full ownership to my soul for the rest of etirnity or until the certificate is destroyed, voiding the contract and releasing my soul...Happy Bidding."

              I do think I remember there being something about misspellings that null an ebay listing, though. Perhaps the lister knows that...


              Gee, given the context, I could post this ‘rock’ and be a gzillionare. http://imaginart.canalblog.com/images/Yin___Yang2.jpg

              As they claim, ‘whatever IT is…’ (the auctioneer is such a creep, though... )

                      Well i suppose one can carry the framed certificate around in their handbag. Could be handy to use it for self defense. Next time someone tries to mug you slap that certificate in their face and tell them that the e-bay soul will haunt them for the rest of eternity.

                      On another note, I joined ebay yesterday, now I can sell the blue tongue lizard that lives in our backyard it's known for good luck hahaha
