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.

    Well thanks for saying this too. I read it too somewhere, and it might be a little more complex then we might look at it at first.

    You see Chechen and Ingush language has lots of similar words with Armenian although we are two different language groups. Perhaps it comes from Urartu days or even earlier. And you see, if you read information about the 8 sons of Togarmah (which I mentioned above) they too are Noahs descendants just like us and some other Caucasian people.

    Perhaps that's why we are the original Caucasians instead of that term being used to describe all white Europeans. So what my point is, that this could be one of these words that not only sounds the same, but has same meaning? I wonder what Nakh means in their language, because that's what they call themselves. After all they also lived in Urartu and even lived there before Urartu as Pre-Chechen as well as Pre-Armenians lived there. So we never know.

    Ofcourse everyone want it being THEIR meaning, but lets face it - there could be connections that we are not aware of. And I am not saying that Nakhichevan is not an Armenian land. I'll always be on Armenian side. I am just saying that there could be much more connection the population around us then an ordinary Armenian is aware of.

      U fail chechens never lived in armenian regions,empires are not build in 1 night,urartu is part of armenian culture, or assyrian but pls dont take it so far,there is no link to the chechens,can u tell me the real name of the chechens cause as far i know is russian word to describe them.
      What ever u like to say armenia is the only successor of Urartu,no other civilization is linked to it,u maid it up with ur chechen history.
      Chechens if they lived in the area would be probably isolated in the mountains.

        Chechens refer to themselves as Noxchi. Together with Ingush, they refer to themselves as Vainakh, meaning our people.

          Stop using a myth as real history because it isn't the moment you used Noah I know what this thread was

          EPIC FAIL

              Let me pull you out of the deep end............I mentioned Noah because chechens claim direct descent from him, that doesn't mean I believe that.

                I wasn't talking about you but what Ervand has been posting about Noah and Hayk.

                  I see, Karo, mixing myth and history is not a good thing but increasingly we find that some ancient myths are actually based on real events.

                  The Iliad was a good yarn until evidence came to light of Troy, Myceanae.
                  Recent sub-sea surveys show that the Black Sea was an inland freshwater lake until about 7,000 years ago. When the last Ice-Age finished, the Mediterranean forced it's way through and caused calamitous floods. Could this have been the origin of the myth of Noah/Gilgamesh?

                    What I never understood about this connection is that the flood supposedly affected Babylon. Babylon is pretty far from the Black Sea. I know that a vast area was affected by this mythological flood, at least as far north as Ararat, but what does such a flood have to do with the Mediterranean forcing its way through to to Black Sea?

                      At the end of the last ice-age, the rise in sea levels would have been dramatic to say the least and Persian Gulf would have surged upwards and outwards.
                      The Babylonian myth relates to a flood probably in the Black Sea region.
