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.

    About Armenia (excerpts book of poems)

    partial excerpts from book
    A Poetry Memoir: Poems for One and All in Many Lands
    by Brenda Terzian

    page 266 “Voices from the Past”
    Take up your pen in your own hand
    With your voice cause the world to stand
    Let all never to forget the story
    Let the truth always to be your glory...
    page 264 “Armenia”
    Lying along the Caucasus Mountains
    Possessing sparkling water fountains
    Between the Caspian and Black Sea
    With Ararat Mountain so Godly
    Is Armenia a special land
    So fertile and so grand...
    page 254 “Epic Passed On”
    For Aram a history worthy to retell
    How under injustice a good people fell
    From a dying mother turning to her son
    Reminder of a tragedy that was done
    At the start of the 20th Century
    The lash of an evil victory...
    Page 36 “The Hero Haig”
    From Armenian history throughout
    All the generations
    Few are as important as Haig
    The Father of the Nation...
    page 37 “Andranik Pasha”
    He was said to have soared
    Over the mountain ridge
    To the people of Armenia
    He was a mighty bridge...
    Page 18 “The Spirit Triumphs”
    Though there be unjust devastations
    Ethnic cleansings because of identification
    Even when feeling at the end of the rope
    Deep within lives the powerful spirit of hope...
    page 44 “Land of Buzzards”
    They were to be lambs in the lion’s den
    That was when the evil dragon came in
    Spreading havoc and destruction within
    Changing all the course of their lives therein...

    Here's a poem I wrote about Armenia;

    Walking down the street to the Shaurma/Lahmajun bakery to buy some lahmajun.
    Saw a guy threw a water bottle out into the street. It was a beautiful throw.
    The shaurma workers know me and we got to talkin;
    They work 15 hours a day 5 days a week, and barely make enough to live on.
    The other day I was driving and some Mercedes pulled up behind me and honked, as If I'm supposed to get out of his way just because he honked at me.
    Then one day some guy was driving in the opposite traffic lane to pass other cars, he was coming right at me so I honked. He honked back; hmm maybe I was the one doing something wrong?
