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.

  • What's happening in Lebanon?

    Seeing what's happening in Lebanon this days I start to recall 70's and 80's with it's terrible civil war.
    I actually don't know in details the point of conflict today, except that pro Iranian militia fighting pro EU government. Also hearing Hesbolah militia fighting against some xxxish supporters and some Cristian gunman. Knowing that a lot of our Armenian brothers and sisters still leaving over there the Q is what is there stand in this conflic? And do they actually actively taking part in fightings today?

    To me, I don't know???? From one side I'm not a supporter of Israel in destruction of Lebanon that's for sure, but from another I'm also not a supporter of Hasbolah. Just thinking what's good for Armenians of Lebanon, may be just to get out of there?

    Very sad & trajic of whats going on?
    I dont understand why people have to resolve to war & killing people. It would be a much better life if there was peace, hopefully one day all this war will stop & life will be enjoyable.
    Positive vibes, positive taught

      If you convince someone that killing another for specific reasons is good, they will do it. It appears that we're not all naturally immune to this kind of power of suggestion, and we never will be, in fact, we probably wouldn't have grown so much as a species if it were not for our brutal competition for resources.

      Sometimes I think to myself, if everyone had their sexuality stripped from them, knowing that they were the last and only remaining generation to ever populate the land, no exceptions, would we be peaceful and try to enjoy ourselves for whatever life we had left, or would we still continue rallying in groups that kill each other?

      Think about it, no competition for mates, for resources to ensure we have descendants, and thus no sense of race... That's a lot of the stuff we live for right there, just tossed out the window.

      Perhaps this is the only condition in which human peace could exist, and I don't think mankind would ever be ready to willingly accept it, it's just not in our nature as a species, I mean come on, what do you think we go through puberty for? To get taller?

        For the same reason that Armenians live free and independent in Artsakh, compared to the rest of us trying to hold on our identity in the Diaspora. If you want to be pacifist than you should accept integration that if you are lucky to be in a civilized society or be enslaved in others.

          it's been a similar pattern all over the world in many countries: pro-west advocates(US, NATO, EU) vs. pro-(Russian, Iran, China, pro-government which is not western) advocates
