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.

    WTF? The same thing that would cause a burger purchased from said golden-arched establishment and hurled into the sky to fall back down to Earth.

    You don't believe in gravity either, then?

    Gave up on the cutting government research funding discussion?

      Gravity can't even pull small objects that are in orbit (like satellites) into the Earth's atmosphere... An asteroid that is traveling in its own orbit would have to be timed perfectly in order to collide with another planet. What do you think would happen if you were to knock a huge object out of its orbit?

        Akh, Dre...
        That's what the keyhole is... if it passes through, Earth's gravity will be enough to alter its orbit sufficiently that it will collide next time around.
        Earth has been struck before, why would you think it can't happen in the future?

          There is no proof the Earth has ever been struck by an Asteroid. It is only a belief.

            *blinks in disbelief* And any giant craters are what? Dried up public pools for dinosaurs? The craters on the moon were stamped there by the astronauts who never went there? Your ignorance is simply astounding.

              You have no proof... only articles written by a group of scientists who change their opinion and stories every now and then. There are no craters on Earth... the claim is that they were all destroyed by weathering. So mother nature took care of the evidence.

                  Hey, someone identified a somewhat circular depression on the Earth's surface a result of an asteroid impact so it must be true. The idea of impact craters were absurd until the 1950's-60's. Sh!t, I wish I had the power to influence popular opinion. Most of these depressions are due to volcanoes and concentrated minerals which is why geologists go there in search of wealth. There are usually mines in and around these sites and no sign of the object that created the impact (and it certainly wouldn't just explode into fragments after burying itself into the ground).

                    You do realize that very same wikipage talks about evidence aside from the fact that there's a giant crater there, right?

                      Yeah, but it's just grasping at straws. Don't worry though.... they'll make sure to suck all the oil out of the area... but the important part is that it's a big hole in the ground caused by a meteor.
