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.

      Yeh this is like what we have here in Detroit with metrocab being the official cabby service for the metro airport. My inlaws were among the first ones to use the new terminal when they returned to Hayastan and they were very happy with the changes.
      Hayastan or Bust.

        What is the EQ Stability in that structure?
        Don't think the airport terminal is tall enough to worry about such swaying, and the diagonal struts will stop the lightweight walls from moving side to side. Though I hope the high earthquake stability involves making sure that glass or ceiling panels don't fall from the roof onto the terminal floor.

          What if you are travelling to the airport in a private taxi, perhaps from a location that is not served by those two taxi companies? That will mean inflated prices for such travellers because the taxi driver cannot be certain of getting a return fare. It would be more sensible to enforce fixed-price taxi fares for set destinations than exclude all private taxis, the good ones with the rogues.

          What about public transport to the airport? Does it exist?

            The only thing left is to shape up the area around the airport. If a tourist comes, they will see the fancy, new airport, but once they leave, they see run down soviet buildings, right next to the airport. A poor first impression.

              no need for private taxis, you call the licensed companies instead.

              in a nutshell, there's no reliable public transport to airport as of now. maybe till next summer, there will be something, who knows. they don't even have one central bus station in yerevan, it's kind of spread over a few places.

                I'd say that the poor first impression actually comes from the mafia-owned casinos and nightclubs/brothels that line the road to Yerevan.

                  Then the new airport seems a case of "fur coat and no knickers" if they are ignoring setting up such essential transport infrastructure.

                    I don't like those casinos or nightclubs either, but they are a reality of most countries.

                      Yeah those are a ridiculous first-sight. I like that there's no casinos in Yerevan itself but this alternative of lining them up on the road to the city is terrible.
