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.

    For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
    to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

      Another good example of how Western funded media, especially ArmeniaNow, is the one of the first to quickly write an article about something negative (because in the end, ArmeniaNow's goal is never to write something positive about OUR home country, an ArmeniaNow reader must get depressed, must hate his country, must think everything is bad and must only focus on the negative aspects of society), is the following;

      Car drivers protest


      In every civilized country in the world, there are import taxes on cars, it's something natural. In the Netherlands, it's about 50%. In Armenia, a new law stipulates people to pay taxes for importing cars (32%). We want Armenia to be a law-abiding country, we want Armenia to develop, we want Armenia to improve it's state efficiency, we want.... a lot of things.

      But... these (few) drivers want all of that, but they don't want to participate in it, because they don't want to pay "tax". This brutality amazes me, why should they be exempted from tax and other Armenians not?

      Anyway, this is not my point, my point is, like Arevordi mentioned, Armenians zoom in too much in the negatives, and even put POSITIVE things in a NEGATIVE daylight (like this law slowly trying to prohibit people bypassing the law by using Georgian number plates), with the ACTIVE support of Western (I don't see any Russian media outlets) funded media.

        That is also something I've been saying that Armenians don't want laws in the country but they want to do as they please get as much money as possible.

              Right!

              Nowadays American and Azeri press are portraying Armenia in the same dark/evil colors to bring about internal instability and promote the devil; Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
              US leaders like Azeri sultan-Ilham; because of the 30 silver/oil coins. They supported the Pharaoh/Mubarak in Egypt, before the upraising.

              But now, as “true” democtrats, they are criticizing/blaming Mubarak and “supporting” Egyptian opposition to be able to replace him with a FBI secret, Egyptian origin, agent. The same “secret” game they are playing with us.

              Don’t forget that the American Ambassador in Armenia met with Levon Ter-Petrosyan, in his home, recently.

              Today's American leadership is pro-Azeri!

                Americans want Armenia to be sold to Turkey, so that they can run their precious energy projects through our land from Azerbaijan, and of course further isolate Iran.

                    Expert: “Positive attitude to the enemy’s culture can make us weaker”
                    BY TIMES.AM AT 18 FEBRUARY, 2011, 4:59 PM

                    The positive attitude to the enemy’s culture can be really dangerous. The political expert Vahram Miraqyan told about this during the press conference in Yerevan.

                    According to the expert, it can make us weaker against the Azerbaijani aggressive attitude.

                    The politician Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan said the praising words about Azerbaijani culture became frequent for the last time. There is a video-clip in a social net, where Spitakci Hayko (Hayko from Spitak) sinds Azerbaijani mugham with his friends, when the actor Armen Jigarkhanyan said during the interview with an Azerbaijani web-site, there is no Armenian, who doesn’t listen to the Azerbaijani mugham. And then Vahram Petrosyan’s announcements followed this.

                    The politician noted we are tolerant and let them propagate their values to our children. “This damages the security of our state and society”, Mr. Melik-Shahnazaryan noted.

                    According to Vahram Miraqyan, Armenian national culture must be propagated and protected in order to prevent the enemy’s impression.
                    He added there are some groups of people, who make Azerbaijani propaganda in Armenia. Some people get money for it, such as George Vanyan, and the others do it just because of being illiterate.

                    Vahram Petrosyan’s (who said Sayat Nova was Azeri and that he loves Azerbaijani music) case was the latter, the speaker considers.
                    On one hand, an Azerbaijani television host was fired because he sung a song in Armenian, and the Azerbaijani government claims traditional Armenian music (duduk etc) is Azerbaijani. On the other hand we have self-destructing Armenians, who, act ALSO in support of the Azerbaijani's by saying that they love Azerbaijani music, that we have to "listen" to Azerbaijani music and even claim that some parts of ancient Armenian music is Azerbaijani.

                    Disgusting... we need to change our attitude! Arevordi's article, which I posted above, is thereby really relevant and summarizes our problems well.

                      nice job saakashvili - even your Western "allies" are spitting on you.

                      Famous American Forbes magazine issued annual ratings of the most dangerous states for work and traveling. Georgia is included in the list of 14 dangerous states, Georgian Journalist agency writes.

                      The authors of the report note Georgia offers tourists only picturesque scenes but not service conforming to European standards.

                      One of the French newspapers also included Georgia in a list of countries dangerous for tourists along with Afghanistan, Iraq, Somali, Honduras, Libya, Malaysia, South Korea and others.

                      According to the experts, Georgia’s tourism is in decline and will not recover until the country has regional problems.
