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.

  • Scholar Says Aghdam Finds Show Armenians' Long Cultural Presence

    An Armenian scholar argues that the historical and cultural monuments of the town of Tigranakert dated to the first century B.C. recently found in Aghdam are additional proof that Armenians and Armenian culture were present in the region still millennia ago.

    Director of the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography Aram Kalantarian told RFE/RL that the expedition working in eastern Karabakh found exact replicas of monuments one could come across in Armenian territory.

    “What was found in Aghdam simply repeats what is present in the territory of Armenia. That is, it proves that here we have a common cultural field and that the monuments were created by people living in the same cultural field,” Kalantarian said.

    Aghdam is an Azerbaijani district east of Karabakh presently controlled by the Nagorno-Karabakh armed forces.

    Kalantarian said that during the past two years the government to a certain degree increased state budget allocations for archeological expeditions. In particular, according to him, 34 million drams (about $85,000) had been allocated for the purpose in 2006, and 22 expeditions have been working in the territory of Armenia this year.

    Kalantarian said the expeditions had achieved ‘marvelous results,’ as new historical and cultural monuments were found. However, he said that it is equally important to preserve what has been found.

    The monuments of Tigranakert were found recently by an expedition led by Hamlet Petrosian. The team of archeologists has already returned from Karabakh and now is working in Garni.
