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.

      Good fight. There has to be a re match and I think Arthur will in it for the kill like never before. This bs loss may motivate him more than anything else could have.

        I enjoy a good boxing match more than I do MMA. Boxing used to be better before all this Don King promotional crap and this Hollywood/Vegas sensationalistic BS. It's all hype and drama and about drawing a crowd and the size of the purse.

          I agree with Kanada here. But despite the likes of shady promotors and bad judges and reffs.. boxing still kicks ass. I forgot to mention there were a few celeberties at this fight to. Some rappers and basket ball players....

            Story Highlights
            -Dirrell, 26, spent three hours in the hospital
            -Dirrell's first fight in his home state could be his last
            -Some have questioned the actions of the medical personnel at the arena

            The whole fight is on YouTube with German commentating:

              The similar thing happened during the Margarito vs Cotto fight and nobody seemed to have disqualified Margarito. Cotto goes to one knee and Margarito connects directly to the head and the fight continues. No complaints by anyone... fast forward to about the 2:00 mark.

                  Boxing is dying, it is one dimensional, more dangerous to the health of the athletes, and I would rather face a boxer in a fight than an mma fighter anyday.

                    Boxing is one dimensional? You obviously dont know a thing about boxing. Boxing is a very interesting multidimensional sport. Strategy and physical abilities go hand i hand and there are multiple styles. The boxing matches i attended saturday night was a good display of many different styles and types of fighters. The promoters are the ones who ruin it for the others by bribing judges and the atheletes. A boxing match between evenly matched fighters is very exciting. Abraham fights a boring defencive style but at the end of his matches everyone is standing up not sitting down because he is gona knock out his opponent. It is still a very exciting sport and will improve if better reffs are trained and the promoters are kept under control.

                      Can you kick, knee, wrestle/grapple or choke someone in boxing? NO! All you can do his hit the other boxer in the head and body. Compare that to MMA, and you'll understand the comment about boxing being one dimensional. I like boxing too, but MMA is already over taking boxing and for good reasons too, such as what you pointed out above.
