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.

  • Quebec City Memorial Dedicated To Armenian Genocide

    Montreal, October 21, 2005 – The Congress of Canadian Armenians (CCA) announced today that representatives of the Quebec Provincial Government and of Quebec City have agreed with its proposal to erect a monument dedicated to the Armenian Genocide. This followed several months of lengthy negotiations on the project.

    The centerpiece of the monument will be an invaluable 12th century Khatchkar, which was entrusted to the AGBU Alex Manoogian School in Montreal following its exhibition at the Man and His World site in 1980. Khatchkars are large stones carved by artisans, depicting an elaborate cross and other Christian symbols traditional to Armenian culture. They are predominantly found around monasteries in Armenia. Only seven original Khatchkars exist outside historic Armenia, including one at the British Museum in London, another in the Louvre in Paris, and the one which has been donated by the CCA to be placed in a prominent location in Quebec City.

    The CCA decided to donate the Khatchkar to Quebec as a token of gratitude by Armenians to the government and the people of Quebec for the unanimous passage of Bill 194 by the National Assembly in December 2003, recognizing the Armenian Genocide which occurred in 1915-1923.

    Another Armenian organization has separately offered to donate a bust of Gomidas, a well-known Armenian composer and genocide victim, to Quebec to symbolize the friendship between Quebecers and Armenians. At a recent meeting with politicians and senior government officials in Quebec City, the CCA agreed with the Quebec proposal to have both the Khatchkar and the bust of Gomidas placed at the same site. Consequently, the CCA has approached the donors of the bust, offering to work together in planning and carrying out this significant project with the participation of all Armenians in Quebec.

    The dedication and unveiling of the monument is planned to take place in April 2007
