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.

  • When to go to Armenia?

    Barev engerner! I'm finally going to Armenia (fingers crossed ). I'm trying to plan for it this year... When's the best time of year to go? When's the spring/summer cutoff for enjoying the freshest and yummiest fruit?

    Thanks in advance!

    Re: When to go to Armenia?

    I would say May-June, the weather is mild, apricot season, maybe cheaper aeroplane tickets. Will this be your first time going to Armenia?

      You are not just going for the fruit I hope!

      Might depend on where you are planning to go. June will be best for apricots but it is often very hot in the Yerevan plain, and May will still be very chilly in some parts of Armenia and too early for apricots.

        Only like 95% for the fruit.

        So the choice is fruit, particularly apricots, or less heat? I'm from LA though... How hot are we talking about for June?

            June's good and head up to the higher ground or if you can wait, September is best.

              Thanks! Why do you prefer September?

                There's still plenty of fruit, great evenings and for sentimental reasons.....my children were baptised at Geghard in September!

                whenever you decide to go, enjoy!

                  I think I'm leaning toward June because that seems to work better for scheduling. It looks like it's not too too hot then (highs between 80-90?).

                  Ah, I see. I've heard that September is one of the most expensive times. That makes me think, you're likely not the only one who likes to go then?


                  Is it safe in and around Yerevan for a woman to go running alone in the early a.m. ? That's another question, actually. When does the street traffic begin?

                    Yes, it is safe to go running, especially in Kentron. Yerevan is quite safe and in comparison to world cities is much safer than one would expect given all of Armenia's socio-economic issues. You will get looks from people because it is not common for people to go running in the streets of Yerevan. Traffic starts around 9, a little later on weekends. If you want a nice and wooded area, but not too deserted, go to the park at Monument and run there.

                    April-June is the best time to go if fruits are what you are wanting to taste. The weather in Yerevan is not bad yet either, and it doesn't rain too much. August is the most expensive time to travel, period. September isn't all that expensive in comparison.
                    For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
                    to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.
