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.

  • A New Community Center in 'Little Armenia'

    On Sunday, the Armenian Cultural Foundation of Los Angeles and the LA chapter of the Homenetmen will host a ground-blessing ceremony, to be officiated by Western Prelate Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian for the soon-to-be-constructed Armenian Youth Center in the heart of Little Armenia.

    This is the culmination of hard work and dedication by the Hollywood community to provide its youth with a state-of-the-art facility to meet its growing needs. The center will house the offices of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Karekin Njdeh Gomideh, the Armenian Relief Society Mayr chapter, the Armenian Youth Federation Mousa Dagh chapter, the Soghomon Tehlirian ARF Badanegan chapter, the Hamazkayin chapter and its Ani Dance Troupe, the Armenian National Committee, the Armenian-American Council on Aging, as well as the Los Angeles Homenetmen chapter, which has been an integral part of the realization of this project.

    This center will join the St. Garabet Armenian Church and the Rose and Alex Pilibos School to become the epicenter of Little Armenia. Later this year, Asbarez and Horizon will be moving their operations into a vast media center where the former Hollywood center was located on Vermont Avenue. This provides the Armenian-American community with the unique opportunity to become a truly visible entity in the heart of the city and provide the community with the services and activity center, becoming a vibrant part of the mosaic that is Los Angeles.

    This project would not have been possible without the generous contributions of Mr & Mrs, Dikran and Zeruhi Der Ghazarian and Mr. Haig Garabedian of Fresno. In appreciation for their continued support and generosity, the project leaders will name the two story's of the building after them.

    Their commitment to the community and their vision for further encouraging and developing it is commendable. Their actions must serve as an example to others to serve in the enhancement of our ever-growing community.

    This center will serve as a gathering place for the youth and will provide opportunities and services for them to grow and expand their horizons to become better citizens and better members of the community.

    We commend and welcome this effort as it is an important tenet in preserving the Armenian identity and expanding the Armenian reach within the Diaspora. Good luck and we look forward to joining you in the coming months.
    Positive vibes, positive taught
