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.

Originally posted by winomanWell your statement is just not true at all - as I demonstrated from my experience - and its not isolated. I also pointed out (once again) your dislike of women (as is shown by your posts). I really think you should keep your (bitter/women hating) homosexual biases out of these discusions - they are obviously not applicable to the society at large - where men and women actually can get along and be friends....there are even many homosexuals (besides yourself) that are able to get along well enough with the opposite sex.
Now Mr. Winston, males and females exhibit a certain thing called attraction. When they spend alot of time with each other, they naturally get these feelings, desires, inclinations, and thoughts about each other, whether sexual or emotional, unless they are gay or clueless or hideous. Aside from those circumstances, long exposures of friendship bring out these things. Do you feel threatened by this? Have you perhaps been friends with women other than your wife where you felt these bonds develop? And have you thought about acting on those thoughts?Achkerov kute.

Atraction is natural - so what - it proves nothing. I can be attracted to a female/females and still maintain a friendship. I have plenty of female friends. And my wife isn't threatened by that fact. Unlike you she is a bit enlightened concerning the fact that women are human beings.

Originally posted by AnonymouseNow its okay Mr. Winston. It's okay if you know women and men cannot be friends. I know this bothers you. Have you felt this attraction with your lady friends? Have you also felt the need to act on those desires? This is what it inevitably leads to, and I know this must be hard admitting this, but it's okay.
But no problem whatsoever. I am friends with several very attractive women that I've known and been close to for 20 years. There has been no issue of sexual stuff - for the most part - certainly not anything recently - though I've dated two of my friends before and in fact get along reasonably well with several of my ex's - and we've maintained friendships. My wife has likewise maintained a friendship with one of her exs...in fact our respective children - of like age - sometimes play together and our kids have even stayed at his/their house before - no biggie. You see - life is a wonderful and varied thing. It doesn't tend at all to fall into absolute patterens as you seem to think. I find it interesting that your views on women seem to coincide with that of a Muslim fundementalist. You really need to get out more.
