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.

  • Meeting people online

    I'm suprised no one has brought this up yet. What do you think of meeting people online?? Making friends, 'activity partners' (lol ), more than friends..... Whatever you want to call it. Would you do it? Obviously we're all doing it to a tiny extent because we're on here talking/chatting/exchanging ideas.... But I mean taking it to the 'actually meeting for real' place. What are your thoughts? Would you be too timid/scared to do it? I guess we kindof talked about this when Surfer (who is on vacation and says HI EVERYONE!!) said we should all meet up, but we didn't really talk about it more than that. Would you do it to make friends or to find someone to have sex with (trying to cover all the bases)?

    I have done it before and as much as I tell myself I will not, I will most likely do it again. One of my best friends, Darby, I met online while looking for musicians to jam with. I have been telling myself that it is a pathetic thing to do but I have been wondering whether I should reconsider. Maybe it is a better way of meeting people.

      I've done it before...It's kind of nice because u get to know a person before u actually see them...U get to know them on the inside and so on...But, I think physical chemistry is more important than we think. It's kind of not fair when u get feelings for the person and then don't find them attractive.

            400? To fly to Montreal in FEBRUARY?? Haha. I would've thought you'd be the only person in the plane. Did you check online, or found some good armenian sources? The prices can differ greatly (online being waaaay more expensive usually).

                  Best thing to do is contact a travel agent. If you have some relative who works in the industry, you can get some great prices.
                  I looked at cheaptickets.com for our Armenia trip, and it came to over 1900-2000 US per person. Through this armenian agent, we got 1500 Canadian, back when Canadian was worth about 68 cents US.

                  HUUUGE difference

                    I've met plenty of great people online. It's not that big of a deal. Both for dating and for friends. Nice to have pen-pals, too.
