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.

      Re: Plane holding 100 crashes into the Black Sea

      I heard about this yesterday as soon as I got an alert from CNN, and I was watching CNN for a while where a plane in Texas was circling and then landed safely, and right after this they reported a crash and mentioned Armenia I couldn't believe it and was shocked. Very sad.

      I'm reading some news today that are saying terrorism is being ruled out, yeah I think it's very clear that bad weather + poor aircraft maintenance + shoddy airport = disaster.

      I know now Armenians will be blaming left and right, but seriously there should be some standard in Armenia's aircrafts. Plus these aircrafts are bought cheaply from some eastern european countries, so maintenance is even more important.

      May they rest in peace,

        I don't think it's a maintanance issue...

        I want to disregard some facts heard so far... some say the plane hit the water at 60deg. angle... The weather was bad enough not to let anyone see what happens 6km off shore.

        Most propably it's a pilot error or they run out of fuell.
        Pilot error is more probable becasue in ase of they would run out of fuell, the pilot would just land the plane on the water. The only thing I can come up with now is that the pilot overbanked the airplane and stall it. Let's wait and see.

            That's true, how could they have seen that far in such weather to report accurate angles.

            It may have been pilot error, although I don't think it was due to fuel. The distance wasn't very long, and from what I read they didn't circle very much so there would have been plenty of fuel, I would think. Unless they took off not full?

            Besides, how would you land an airbus on water?

              what are you talking about standards. the plane was built in 1995, that is pretty young and it had no technical problems. and its on lease not bought. they dont fly planes that are falling apart. i know how everyone loves $hitting on Armenia and everything Armenian but give it a rest...

                I am not from Armenia so maybe YOU know more... but I am not xxxxting on Armenia.

                I've been to Armenia two times, and both two times one flight was done by an Armenian airplane, and during the entire flight it feels as if you are going to crash. I've asked others and they say this normal. That shouldn't be normal. They're probably better now, I don't know.

                No reason to get offended.

                  I keep explaining to my american friends that generally there is no lack of maintance and security at Zvartnonts.. I cannot make them understand that if a plane crashed which took of lets say from LAX or JFK (hope it never happens) generally noone from tech stuff with be careing about the passengers (don't get me wrong, read to the end) but when a plane takes of from Zvartnots you have 95% armenians in it, and most probably anyone who live in yerevan will be able to identify someone in a particular flight that he or she knows somehow (even not directly), so I know the DO CARE.

                  It's too sad what happend, but this kind of stuff is happening not only in Armenia, and unfortuanatly will keep happening, like the car accidents on the roads...
