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.

      Oh well. It has been 18 years since I have seen Armenia and that was with the eyes of a 6 or 7 year old. Much has changed for me either way this makes no difference.

        Re: Old and New Yerevan

        The hotel at which I was staying was across the way from a building with Cyrillic letters on top. I asked my Great Grandma what it said and she said that it said the building is under Soviet controll (this was in '96/'97). Does anybody know the building of which I am talking and is that what it actually said? I thought it was kind of obnoxious to still be up there at that time...

          It's never good, is it?

          FYI: That "blind destruction", which I don't think is so blind (although in all reorganizations some things will have unfortunate fates), has an aim, namely to attract business and tourism to a country that has little other resources than that. Armenia can't exactly sell oil, can it?

            Precisely.

            The Armenian economy needs to evolve and so does the society as it develops. Everyone is always harping on privatization, but so what? It's developing Armenia. The reason is because people are growing, and why not greet that?

            If it were up to everyone's personal whims of what should or shouldn't stay, everyone would pretty much have every building that is 'dear' to them stay erect and not destroyed. If everyone had their way, we may as well have no development at all and just live in a static age with static architecture and economy. But that is not the way it is. If it's other peoples possessions now, they will do with it what they please. If you don't like it, I suggest you buy it and keep it erected as long as you wish.

                You haven't even got a quarter of the sense you were born with.

                Mayor of Mush was walking down a street in his town, when, across the way he noticed a building with Armenian letters on it. Isn't it kind of obnoxious for that to be still up there at this time? he comments. A few days later it was gone, chipped off.

                  Perhaps you should try visiting Armenia before listening to Azeri propaganda. Armenians are living better today than they have in the last fifteen years. There is much hope for a better future, despite all the corruption, etc. Yes, there are Armenians who are starving to death, but there are more Turks starving to death in Turkey than there are Armenians starving to death in Armenia, for the simple reason that there are more Turks in Turkey than there are Armenians in Armenia. One could say the same about Azerbaijan.

                  As for resources, it's all a matter of time, if people like bell-the-cat would for once allow the PEOPLE to survive instead of the dilapidated buildings that are better off gone than preserved, for the sake of the future of the PEOPLE. As if old Soviet-style apartment buildings that he himself would never choose to live in are good enough for those sub-human Armenians of Yerevan who dare to improve their standard of LIVING by destroying buildings that are going to collapse and cost the LIVES of many, many PEOPLE anyway.

                    EMRE, if you're so concerned about Armenia's economy, perhaps you should get your country to open the border.

                    I had no idea Azeris were so well off...
