hail great people of Damascus!

i'm Sam...administrator of this fine group, glad to be here and to have you all here too.
i've been away from this group for a considerable amount of time now (about three years actually) and i'm glad to be back, but i gotta say i'm shocked to see all these people have joined...when i first started this group three years ago it it was only me and a bunch of other guys and girls...no more than 10 ppl, and right before i left we were only about 90 :) yeah...the good ol' days...
anyways i'm also impressed of the amount of msgs on the msg board, you guys have been posting like there's no freaken' tomorrow...although the msg board kindda look like "7ammam ma2too3a mayto"...there's a lot of hi-hello-glad-to-be-here topics, not to mention a shit-load of spam ones...
lizalika (therefore ya3ni) i decided to clean up the msg board a little bit, and delete all those hi-hey-hello and spam topics and start a new one: "newbies, introduce yourselves here!" where you can all say "hi"s and "hey"s and "shout-out"s until you drop :)

alrighty then, time to role up my sleeves and start working...i don't want to sound like some uptight holier-than-thou hard ass but there's gonna be some changes and few rules around here (c'mon, i hate this as much as you do...so bear with me):

1- We're all here to make new friends, talk, share ideas, meet people, freely discuss our thoghts, debate and post announcements...but most importantly to have (fun), so make sure that you do.
(i'm sure there are some particular other reasons for other persons, but as long as you're playing by the rules you're okay)

2- No illegal or impolite speeches are allowed, that means no offending, provoking, racist andor harsh words. every msg or topic that does not respect this rule will be deleted.
(well, we're all grown ups here, you can use harsh words as long as the context is classy or at least not vulgar)

3- DON'T SPAM too much...nobody likes a spammer! spams will be deleted!

4- Don't duplicate topics, if there's a topic about errrrrr....ummmmmmm....falafel for instance don't start another topic about falafel just post your msg in the already existed one. every msg or topic that does not respect this rule will be deleted.
(why falafel? i must be hungry!)

5- Report abuse people...if you have complains about a member in this group, report an abuse or send me a msg about it, inappropriate members will be warned or banned...help me to make this group a better place!

6- The opinions you post here are yours, and yours only. that means i'm not responsible about those opinions nor i have to agree with them.

that's pretty much it, other than that you can talk about anything in the world, i don't care if it's politics, religion or even female anatomy, i couldn't care less! :)

have fun!

Sam
