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.

    Yes, its sad but it was gone happen. He was to young and did not have enough experience to win. But I still had high hopes.

        Like you I still dont understand why Paul Hamm won Gold for Men's Gymnastics. I thought the Judges where not strict enough.

        As for boxing...going back a couple of days. Azerbaijan should not have won the Greek guy...again I dont know why the judges didnt stop that!

          He won GOLD?

          I was watching yesterday and he fell, and they said if anything he may still have a chance for bronze, but even that's unlikely. I didn't watch the rest of it.

          I felt bad for the poor freckled guy. I'm glad he won... if he did.

            Yes, he went from 12th place to win the gold! I saw the vault where he fell on his butt. The announcers were saying "Oh no, there go his chances for a medal." It's amazing he won, I think the 2 Koreans messed up alot in order for him to win.

              No, I dont think the Koreans messed up a lot. He did a great job on the last one, but I dont think it was Gold.

              He won by 12 thousandth of a point (was it)..come on please tell me that wasnt done just for him to win it.

                  Haha

                  unbelievable!

                  Did you see the Romanian girls the day before?

                  They did a good job.

                  On a side note. Is there some sort of Anatomical/medical/physiological reason why gymnasts are so short, and often dwarf-like?

                    The actions of the United States always are connected to politics. When the Soviet Union was dominating the Olympics the U.S. quickly made sure professional athletes would be allowed to compete in the Olympics. Now, China is pretty dominate in the Olympics in terms of medals, but yet where is the U.S.?

                    Of course, Americans are going to "win". They have a endless supply of athletes from different racial and ethnic backgrounds. A Russian contender is ethnically Russian, but the same can not be said of a U.S. athlete.

                    My point is that you can not compare the U.S. to team with those of other nations because of the fact that the U.S. is so culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse.

                      Yes, he fell but later he came back and amazed everyone with his jumps or something. Pretty cool.
                      I see...
