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 MOSAIC OF MUSIC, DANCE & PERFORMANCE AS VIBRANT AS ARMENIA

    Coming to a City Near You in October: The North American Debut of an
    Award-Winning Performing Arts Youth Troupe From Armenia

    * * *

    In commemoration of the 1600th Anniversary of the Armenian alphabet, the
    Diocese of the Armenian Church of America (Eastern) and the Armenian
    General Benevolent Union (AGBU) have teamed up to jointly sponsor the
    debut tour of a one-of-a-kind performing arts troupe coming straight
    from Armenia October 9 through 30, 2005, with stops currently scheduled
    in New York (premiere), Washington, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee,
    Richmond, Montreal and Toronto.

    The troupe of more than 60 young performers, from the ages of ten to
    nineteen, will bring to life a variety of traditional Armenian art forms
    - song, dance, instrumental music, and dramatic recitation, along with
    artful gymnastics and acrobatics in what has been coined an "Armenian
    Cirque du Soleil."

    Most astonishing of all are the artists themselves - gifted youth from
    AGBU-sponsored Holy Etchmiadzin Nork Children's Center, an educational
    center where young Armenians are encouraged to nurture their talents and
    broaden their knowledge in courses unavailable to them at overcrowded
    public schools.

    AN OPTIMISTIC GLIMPSE INTO ARMENIA'S FUTURE

    The young performers are well known in Armenia, where they play to
    enthusiastic capacity crowds, and have won awards in European festivals.

    "Seeing these young people perform, you are filled with optimism for the
    future of the Republic of Armenia," says Archbishop Khajag Barsamian,
    Primate of the Diocese of the Armenian Church of America (Eastern). "We
    are proud to share this sense of optimism with our own community, and
    with American society at large, by bringing the young performers to this
    country."

    "Everyone who has seen them feels that this tour will be an inspiring
    event in the Armenian American community," says Berge Setrakian, AGBU
    President. "And we're especially hopeful that our fellow American
    citizens will get a glimpse into the promise of Armenia's up-and-coming
    generation."

    Gearing up for such a tour is a complex undertaking, involving tight
    coordination at local and national levels. Co-chairing the organizing
    committee are Hrant Gulian (Eastern Diocese) and Anita Anserian (AGBU).

    Several cities have already confirmed their performance dates and
    venues; the tour will premier in New York City at Broadway's Town Hall
    theatre on Sunday, October 9 with the Boston performance scheduled for
    Friday, October 21 (location to be announced). Performances dates for
    Washington, Chicago, Milwaukee, Richmond, Montreal and Toronto will be
    announced shortly (itineraries are subject to change).

    For ticketing and general information, please contact the Eastern
    Diocese at (212) 686-0710 or AGBU at (212) 319-6383.

    9 to 30, 2005 with scheduled stops in New York, Washington, Boston,
    Chicago, Milwaukee, Richmond, Montreal and Toronto.
