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.

    My opinion:
    If I were the government, I'd rather Diasporans work abroad and send money home than to come in and compete for jobs, raising the unemployment level. They probably ask people what they plan on doing when they come in. If it's to buy a house and spend the days shopping, they'll be let in pretty fast I imagine.
    If for instance I chose to repatriate to Armenia, I would; 1. Bring with me lots and lots of money, 2. Buy a small house and open up my own business, and 3. In the interim see to it that the orphans are well fed, their buildings' windows are all put up, their rooms are well heated and they are very well taken care of.

      You have kids, too, right Anoush? How would they feel about repatriating to a new country?

      I like you're ideas though and it sounds very similar to something I'd like to do. The only thing I worry about is being able to take care of my mother when I get older; I wouldn't want her to be in America by herself.

        Ayo I have a 14 year old girl. She loves to visit Armenia; but about repatriating I didn't talk to her about it so far. At the moment I don't think she would be willing as she has a BFF in here; but if I would be really set in my ways I would have to talk her into it. But I think it's important for her to visit Armenia and see it with her own eyes and not just a word or a name on the map. When she visits and sees a whole country thriving with other teenagers and real people, who knows she may fall in love with it.

        That's sweet of you Yerazhishd jan, you're a good son and I agree with your concern. You could take her with you if she is willing; otherwise, you could visit her until she gets really old and weary then move her to Armenia. It's a thought.

          No Armenian would. As every Armenian knows we all love our mothers. That's exactly why you take her with you to Armenia. If she's too old then if you have a brother/sister/cousin you ask them to babysit her while you go to Armenia. Unfortunately, some of us can't leave without our mom's such as myself

            I must add that Armenians do love and cherish their mothers. And even macho Armenian men they all love their mothers before or after death until they themselves die. And one more thing I must add that we Armenians take very good care of our elderly parents when they are weary and old till they die. We babysit them and give up much of our free time to take care of them; just like they themselves took good care of us. Not like odars. A good many Americans are not like us; they put their elderly in old homes whereas most of the time they are not taken care of properly and usually they are abused. Not Armenians though, we don't like to put them in old homes; we prefer to take good care of our parents ourselves when the time comes when they need us. Armenians are good family people; men or women. I am proud of my heritage and my Armenianness.

              Ya, I see that a lot in Americans. That's probably why when they are on aim and stuff they say "oh my moms xxxxxing at me." Stuff like that pisses me off.

                I'm not always nice to my mom. I have this dream in my head of taking both my parents in to live in the same house even though they're divorced, hahaha. Suckers.
