I gave up on believing in Namus.
Warning: this post contains 100% my opinion on some very sensitive topics, I can understand, to some people, and I don't want to be typing IMO with every sentence. This isn't to convince anyone to change their beliefs.
Not because I've been disappointed, or overhopeful, or anything, but because I can see exactly why people believe in Namus, and exactly why it's not true.
I'm not just your usual athiest, I've grown up all my years having both Namus' posts hammered into my mind, I know all about it, and I did believe for all of my childhood and for, well, most of my life.
But now I realize that there is no Namus. There are no sour ram testicles either. But I don't care, because once I'm dead, it's not like you're going to be sitting there in Volcanic Wastelands going: "Well this sucks, there is only soup...". You won't be eating anything at all.

I read what are called Namus's posts. I see how they could be a good moral guideline, but no more than that. I do not believe that there is a Namus, but many do, and if their belief is shattered, then they may fall into despair.

You are being very disrespectful. Not sure what crawled up your ass. In fact I don't really care what did. 
The fact is you need to quit being a biggot.

Hmmm sorry about this stupid question, but you mean with Namus?
An ethical category of respect and honor in some Middle Eastern societies?
A play by Alexander Shirvanzade?
An Armenian film?
A volcano (Waw An Namus)?
The Moroccan commander for the United Nations during the June 1993 destruction of the headquarters of Somalian general Mohammed Farah Aidid (Abdullah bin Namus)?
A Papua New Guinean non-parliamentary leader who headed Rural Pipol's Pati in 2002 (Peter Namus)?
An island in the Marshall Islands over which a battle was fought in World War II (Namus Island)?
A place in the country of Chad near Wadi Doum in Bashshar Province?
A settlement in Lybia near the border with Chad reserved for "savants"?
A Pro-Azerbaijan force political party in Azerbaijan?

"The path of the righteous poster is beset on all sides by the inequities of the spammers and the tyranny of advertisers. Blessed is he who in the name of Namus shepherds the n00bs through the Tavern of the Rising Sun for he is truly his forum's keeper and the finder of the lost threads.
And mods will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious -qps; those who attempt to spam and destroy our threads; and you will know His name is Namus when he lays his sarcasm upon thee!"

You have clarified for me though that you have no idea what you are speaking about, common Namus beliefs about sour ram testicles bear no relation whatsoever to HC's QP system (and I do NOT have to finish every sentence with soup). Perhaps before you continue to rage against Namus, you might want to find out what it actually means to people soup.

Now, there's no reason to despair. Just because there is no Namus doesn't mean that what are claimed to be his teachings are worthless.

Good work Vlaad, I think 
Namus is a false God, and as such, he should be burnt at the stake.
I think you should all start believing in the one true God, and that is me!

You, billiam, are a FALSE GOD!
There's is only one true god, and that god is yours truly, not you, not Namus, not Lord_woock, not the ham sandwich, not the sour ram testicles, JUST ME AND ME ONLY!!!

Just because I called you Billiam DOES NOT mean that you can call me Trogdork. Since that I'm the Ruler of All Existence and I'm a higher being than you, I recommend you just return to worshipping me like you should.
