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 hate it when a guy and a girl are extremely good friends and find eachother very attractive but they just remain friends. Why? For what stupid reason would you want it to be like this.

      If the guy and the girl are that close and obviously love eachothers company because they are the best of friends and love doing things together and hanging out then why the hell shouldn't you just be together if you find the other attractive. You can't get a better girl or guy than that.

        Where did you get this definition? I find for example that the more successful marriages often involve couples that in addition to being lovers are best of friends. By the way, I hope you realize that you are basically saying only ugly girls can have friends of the opposite sex Now that's just plain silly ...

          1) Maybe one or both of them is married already?
          2) Maybe their future goals are not compatible?
          3) Maybe there are cultural, religious, and racial factors making it hard for them in society to be "together"?
          4) Maybe they live geographically far apart?
          5) Maybe one or both of them have significant commitments (like taking care of an elderly/sick parent/sibling) that makes it hard to be with someone else?
          6) ...

            the question is can men and women be friends, NOT act like friends!! big difference!!!

            no matter how tightly the cork fits on the bottle, with enuff pressure it WILL pop!!!
            I beleive unfortunately, that any man/women under enough pressure at the right time will crack.. so thes are more unique cases.. and we are trying to be more general

              1. Obviously I'm talking about people that are not married.
              2. Can you give me an example of future goals not being compatible? It would have to be something drastic to make them not be together.
              3. Who cares what society thinks, if you love someone and are attracted to them, you're telling me you won't take it further because of what others might think?
              4. I already said friends that enjoy eachothers company. I wasn't clear enough. I meant they see eachother often.
              5. If you really love someone then that is an awful reason to not be with them.

                when did i say the ugly thing???


                hey, when a guy says he's your friend and has the hotts for ya to want to do you in an elevator...that is no 'friend'!


                nope! i stand by what i say damn it!!
                "if there is lust, there can be no true frienship"--'bruin

                this changes sort of with married folks..they can be friendly i guess..cuz they have to worry about household chores and expenses and everyday stuff and not just hot nites and weekends

                  5. If you really love someone then that is an awful reason to not be with them.
                  2. One wants to form a family and have kids right away, the other is pursuing higher education, a career, or wants to travel before settling down.

                  3. In certain segments of society, that doesn't work. Just look at our more traditional "Armenian" culture where a girl is supposed to get married then move out of the house. Or just picture an interracial couple ... mexican guys get shot in Glendale for going out with Armenian girls and vice versa so don't tell me "what others think" doesn't matter in this world.

                  4. People these days can "see" each other often by traveling frequently, using internet/video conferencing, but still not live close enough to form the kind of relationship you are talking about. Believe me, I know.

                  5. If you really love someone, you may not want to burden them with your personal hardships ... it's not always as clean and clear cut as romance novels .... people have serious problems in life that you can't just dismiss and say just because there is love, the problems don't matter. How can you say having serious personal commitments to others is an "aweful" reason to put "love" (and personal hapiness) aside and focus on the more important things in life? Believe it or not, there are those in this world that put others and their needs above their own and they should be admired for it.

                    In every relationship a guy and gal have, I believe there has been an attraction by one of the sides at least, if not both. Every friend that I have that is a girl, either I've been attracted to, or they've been attracted to me.

                      Don't worry old man (you don't mind if I keep calling you that, do you? ), I go on plenty of dates with my boyfriend. I work during the day and while I am waiting for reactions to run I browse AC. So there! Have fun packing. Be a good Armenian and take your kids to Armenia too.
