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.

    Love, sex, ecology (and poop!)

    Two strapping, handsome males spot her--the gorgeous fertile female standing in the swaying grass. She turns away. They both dash to make their impression on this young sexy, naked, girl.

    Sh*t! That's it. There it is--the black gold! They know the one with the biggest balls will win her affection and passes on his genes to another generation...








    They scurry to see who can roll the bigger ball of dung to impress her. Really, though, what woman isn’t swept away with a giant ball of elephant poop!

    **I sometimes wonder what dung beetles would say/think about human courtship.**
    I enjoy thinking about comparisons between mating rituals of human, and non-human animals.
    I find these pictures funny:

    Without dung beetles, the planet would literally be overrun with poop . They do really spread the love, and that sh*t, around! (and fertilize soil, while they do that.) Humans likely couldn't live without nature's poop-lovin creatures. Lest you doubt the critical importance of the dung beetle:

    But, I've never gotten a poop ball.

      Poop.

      There isn't any hidden meaning above... (just twists on words.)

      Random/odd mating rituals is the subject, here.

      [Edit] I'm an ecologist. I'll teach ecology in whatever way people will listen... Sex usually gets attention.

          You're not an ecologist. Stop lying please.

                    --She's Always A Woman, Billy Joel (Siggie said I could)

                    She can wait if she wants (to be a waitress?)
                    She's ahead of her time
                    Oh-and she never gives out
                    And she never gives in
                    She just changes her mind

                    And she'll promise you more
                    Than the Garden of Eden…

                    She is frequently kind
                    And she's suddenly cruel
                    She can do as she pleases
                    She's nobody's fool
                    But she can't be convicted
                    She's earned her degree
                    And the most she will do
                    Is throw shadows at you
                    But she's always a woman to me..

                    See? I EARNED the right to call myself 'an ecologist."
