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.

    Should HyeClub Forum have a Chat Room?

    I could get some kind of a chatroom going. However, the problem is, the advantage of a forum is that it leaves a written communication that can be of use to other Armenians, who will search for related topics. While a chat room is a place where everything chatted about gets wasted and sometimes conversations can turn into fights and trolling becomes prevalent.

    I think if you provided a chat it would be cool
    I for one would like the chat back.

      You, for one, never used the chat to chat with anyone.

      I think the chat was more used for casual chit-chat than more serious discussion we'd want to preserve. Although it wasn't too common, I think there were probably some times when things got discussed there that would have been nice to post on the forum, but I think there were also a lot of times thread/post ideas came from discussions in the chatroom too. I think there are pros and cons to the chat, but personally, I feel that the pros outweighed the cons.

          Right! Because the chat converts all the rest into one word chat, too. Therefore the chat cons don't respond; the majority ...

            I think they were in the chat so overall they spent more time on the forum. There may be a difference in post count, but what kind of posts? Keep & Kill or what did you eat? sort of garbage? I wouldn't even count those.

                Convincing point. I much prefer we prioritise written communication that can be used by other Armenians than to see the forum potentially cannibalised by the chat. Now that I think of it, forum posts seemed to be down during the height in popularity of the chat. While maybe 75% of the chat's contents were casual talk, there were long and heated debates on many topics that could have served better as posts on the forum. I'm voting against.

                    What happened to the chatroom? Was it removed or something?
