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.

      Hold on, so you have to pay to go by lake Sevan?? How much??

        i dont remember exactly, because my uncle paid, but as someone from the US, it would be a trivial amount for you. basically you pay to park your car and then to go on the shore. it's kind of sad.

              ya, but that's something new in armenia. and even the public beaches here don't make you pay to go on the sand and in the water. i guess if you've never been to armenia before, all the stuff you see there wont be a big deal and all in all you'll be very impressed by how much yerevan is starting to look like a typical euro city. but when you visit, you may want to spend some of your time outside of yerevan (and not just to visit historical landmarks, but to see the villages and the people living in them, the unfinished projects because of discontinued funding, and the abandoned homes because people could no longer make a living in armenia but kept their homes with hopes that they would one day return).

                i think it costs around 2000AMD to park your car at sevan near the beach, who allowed these mafiosa to own the lakes shores, i dont quite know...

                As for the donation, if its going to be a symbolic gesture, then why give so much? imagine that money going to universities or schools in Armenia, or even the people who are dying from lack of medicines in Armenia today? Politics is being played with lives here, at what point does an american life value more than an Armenian?

                Answer should be, both are equal, and in my opinion they are. However, surely the american government has enough money to quite easily pay for the damages and for the vital aid needed by its citizens in New Orleans? After all, it has turned down aid of money, medince, doctors and oil sent by Cuba and Venezuela, surely it must mean it can deal with the crisis itself?

                  That's what I'm asking... paying to go on the sand and water is way different from paying for parking. For some reason, paying for parking doesn't seem like a bad idea even if it's new and you didn't have to pay before. Life is getting expensive around the world. After all, if they collect money they can use the money for maintenance and new projects by the shore. But if it's not parking, and each person has to pay to go in the water, now that's absurd. Hope that's not the case.

                    I'm afraid "absurd" yes, "money for maintenance" no.
