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.

    Like, Like, if you saw the fight between the three women at the mall today, for a parking space, you wouldn't be saying that.

      Newsflash: it's not just women who have testosterone (the hormone responsible for [aka libido])
      men also have small amounts of estrogen circulating, maybe THAT's responsible for the occasional nice things they do for us!

        What the hell does lactating have to do with falling in love? Wouldn't you already be "in love"/lust by the time you're lactating (ie having had produced a child)?
        If I listed everything each hormone did, it would be a pretty long and boring list. I'm sure you're well aware that the same hormone has different effects depending on the target cells. In the mammary glands, oxytocin causes lactation. In the uterus, it causes contraction. In the brain, it causes lust.

        In response to hyebruin, there is nothing theoretical about this. You're just paranoid if you somehow think that I or anyone is trying to say that the release of three neurotransmitters is all there is to love. There is no doubt, however, that the responses triggered by their binding to receptors is what causes the feelings and attachments we recognize as lusting, falling in love, and wanting to become monogamous. Now, obviously there are a great deal of other feelings that play into whether or not these particular feelings will prevail and there are even some people who don't always follow their feelings. People like me, for instance, who try to look past these feelings we really have little control over in order to see what potential a relationship really has.

        Then there are the cynics like you and Seapahn, for whom no amount of neurotransmitters could ever do anything. Good luck to you anyway.

          Speak for yourself weakling, I have control over who I fall in love with ( hence why I never allow myself to fall in love with a non-Armenian ). This is whole "gene", or "hormone" babble is for people who are too weak to take accountability, and need something to blame for their ineptitude.

            Given that you've never been in love with anybody, Armenian or otherwise, how do you even know you're capable of it?

              Oh I've been in love. It is just that I was able to control it, and wield it.

                  That was my point...precisely my point.

                  My addition of oxytocin causing contractions in uterine muscles was a mockery of your addition of oxytocin causing lactation, for that has nothing to do with lust, at least not temporally. As I said before, you'd be already in love or experiencing lust by the time you're lactating (~9 months, to be exact). To put it shortly, don't babble lines out of your bio book if you're looking to impress.

                    A little cranky? I wasn't claiming any correlation. I just thought it was an interesting coincidence, which I made pretty clear. Anyway, I understand this forum exists so that we can mock each other, not so that we can hold decent discussions. So please continue.

                      You and he are the two most cynical posters in the love and romance forum. Do you deny it?
