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.

    I’ am shocked, Are they really Armenian….the answer is Yes they are

    Photo Story by: Ruben Mangasaryan
    From the streets Lida collects whatever she can find to burn in her stove. And, as plastic bags are most of all scattered in the streets of Bagratashen, polyethylene becomes the main fuel. Lida Gadyan, 39, is a refugee from Baku, where she worked as a dishwasher in a canteen. This year she has moved from a wagon, where she used to live, to an apartment recently built in the Bagratashen's district constructed especially for refugees. She can't remember when she moved to that apartment like she can't remember when she escaped from Baku, when she found herself in Stepanakert, when she got married, when she bore children and when she moved to Bagratashen. She doesn't suffer from amnesia, she's just lost the sense of time. She knows for sure, however, that she gave birth to eight children. In the '90s Lida's husband left her and together with her son and mother she came to this village. Across the river, Georgia can be seen from Bagratashen. The Azeri village Sadakhlo is located there and the popular Sadakhlo market, which functions on both sides of the border. Traders from both countries sell everything from food products to car tires. Prostitutes sell their bodies as well.See More

    Please don't only read this articale and see the images post your view/ opinion. When i saw the images I was completely shocked and wondered how many families live under the same condition. You may want to print the images/articale and show it to your community leaders, priest or charities that are operating in Armenia to help these people out.

    Thanks you

              <No> Not many do live under these cirumstances such as we see in the pictures on the website

              and there are already numerous helporganizations dealing with these issues in armenia today. Armenian is very poor indeed. In yerevan in general (or actually anywhere in armenia) you cant see it from the outside as people tend to dress well, at least those who gets some wage from their jobs,they spend it so they will look good in public and spend it on material stuff...oh well

              Help is already there, its up for the people there to help themselves too. People get money buit many dont know how to spent it.

              I guess its up to us in other countries who must help them organize-social welfare- so on...
