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.

              Re: Armenian Sends 25 of its Best to Beijing Olympics

              Why Armenia is the best nation at the olympics.

              -----------------------------

              Speaking of India, Armenia and those Herculean Australians
              11:27 AM, August 12, 2008

              Indian shooter Abhinav Bindra's mother, Babli, left, and father, A.S.Bindra, celebrate their son's Olympic gold medal on Monday.

              Even though Medals Per Capita trumps the fallacy of the standard Medals Table (as seen on the right-hand side of this page) and rightfully exalts smaller countries as a rule, let us take this opportunity to applaud India.

              This global colossus just harvested the first individual gold medal in its Olympic history when Abhinav Bindra won the 10-meter air rifle event, and while MPC certainly tilts toward the Lilliputians in exquisite fairness, that doesn't preclude some sympathy for a giant.

              MPC fully realizes that India, working with a staggering population of 1,147,995,898 -- one of only two three-comma populations in the world -- has an unforgiving road in the MPC standings, especially for a country that has never bothered with the Olympic oomph of China, the other billion-plus population.

              India finished 75th of the 75 countries that won medals at Athens 2004, and now stands 46th of the 46 countries that have won medals so far in Beijing.

              Still, it's a giddy 46th at the moment, so let's say "hooray."

              At the other extreme, the gumdrop nation of Armenia won zero medals in 2004, thus finishing in a 127-way tie behind even India. Well, let's applaud Armenia, which just grabbed two bronzes and ascended from below the charts all the way to No. 1 in the Tuesday MPC standings. Which, as usual, beat the mulch out of the paltry and inexcusably lazy Medals Table used in the Olympics.

              The Medals Table had the United States first at 22 and then China at 20, as if culling 22 medals from 303,824,646 citizens or 20 from 1,330,044,605 constituted some sort of big whoop-dee-doo.

              After Tigran Gevorg Martirosyan's bronze in the men's 62-69kg weightlifting, and Roman Amoyan's bronze in the men's under-55kg Greco-Roman wrestling, Armenia had two medals among merely 2,968,586 citizens, or one for every 1,484,293 Armenians.

              That surpassed even the Herculean Australians, who form arguably the world's most fibrous athletic nation, and already have pared their MPC rating to 2,060,086, despite having only 20,600,856 citizens, with the paring surely to persist. It also made the Armenians possibly a recurring threat to both the defending runners-up Australians and the defending champions the Bahamians (who tend to catch up when track and field begin).

              With a nod to another former Soviet republic, the sudden No. 4 Azerbaijan, and to Koreans both North and South, here is the Medals Per Capita top 10:

              1. Armenia (2) - 1,484,293
              2. Australia (10) - 2,060,086
              3. Slovakia (2) - 2,622,375
              4. Azerbaijan (3) - 2,725,905
              5. Finland (2) - 2,727,704
              6. North Korea (7) - 3,354,156
              7. South Korea (12) - 4,102,737
              8. Austria (2) - 4,102,767
              9. The Netherlands (4) - 4,161,328
              10. Croatia (1) - 4,491,543

              (Some select bottom-dwellers):

              30. United States (22) - 14,467,840
              40. China (20) - 66,502,230
              46. India (1) - 1,147,995,898

                That's awesome...I hope we win at least one more medal. Are there any remaining events where this could happen?

                  5 more chances at weightlifting (4 men, 1 woman).

                  7 more chances at wrestling.
