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.

    But how is Serj conservative? He seems decidedly liberal on every front I've seen him voice his opinions on.
    He is liberal. He has even said it when talking about Armenian issues.

        Ah that sucks man, I'm sorry. Dunno about before, but their live act after the comeback is stunning. Very riling performances, great execution, great crowd energy.

          Review: Serj Tankian

          CHRISTOPHER MOORE


          Serj Tankian's sole New Zealand concert in Christchurch was
          intriguing, provocative and riveting stuff; an event which proved that
          innovative music can demolish established musical boundaries.

          In every sense, this was an epic production which presented the CSO
          with the challenge of extending itself well beyond its comfort zone to
          perform on an equal footing with a man and his music possessing such
          explosive energy.

          If the gamble failed, the performance could have sunk without trace -
          especially when confronted by a responsive and vocal audience largely
          composed of dedicated Tankian fans.

          The Armenian-American musician, composer, poet and singer has walked
          an interesting road since the days as lead singer with the rock band
          System of a Down. Today Tankian's compositions carry the essence of
          jazz, electronic, classical and cabaret music to create something
          which defies precise definition. Post-Modernist Romanticism perhaps?

          Saturday's concert focused on the Elect the Dead symphony,
          orchestrated by New Zealand composer John Psathas and Orca, Tankian's
          most recent work. The first, arguably more song cycle than symphony,
          relies on a soloist with a truly dramatic vocal range to succeed.
          Tankian's voice could never be described as pretty but it's
          unforgettable and it refused to be dominated by the orchestra.
          Together the CSO and Tankian gave a gripping raw, lyrical and dark
          hued performance.

          I confess to being less smitten by the Orca Symphony which carried
          more than a hint of a cinema soundtrack. That was before the arrival
          of the fourth movement featuring a traditional Armenian oboe, the
          Duduk, played with soulful eloquence by Vardan Grigoryan. Personally,
          this was the most extraordinary moment in an evening of extraordinary
          musical revelations.

          Serj Tankian and the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra. The Orca and
          Elect the Dead Symphony.

          Tour: Saturday March 29, the CBS Arena, Christchurch.

          Hayastan or Bust.

                      Went to my first SOAD concert last night. They came to town before but I was always working those nights. These guys are awesome live! The crowd was so into it. Nobody sat down the entire time. If you have not seen them live you really should do so. Not all bands are good live but this one is great.
