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.

    I knew many iraqi armenians, even the rich ones left, no sane christian who can leave would live in that country period. It sounds you guys have no idea what life in iraq is all about.

      The idea that Iraqi Oriental Christians are somehow better off living in fear of there lives, than living in the West is ridiculous and Christians were persecuted in Iraq long before the war. So I doubt that they aren't in any hurry to return to Iraq.

        Christians under Saddam were living under better conditions than now and they held key positions in his government. What persecution are you talking about?

          It was easy for us to be Armenians in Muslim lands, but not so easy in the west. I never heard of an Armenian that did not speak Armenian, until I got to the USA. While the lifestyle is much better for most the fact of the matter is that it is being lost. Funny how we pertend we are saving Armenians by moving to the west in the end we are losing Armenian culture. The best thing to do is move to Armenia, and I know that is easier said then done. It is another shame that our people have to suffer time and time again. Never does anything go down on this planet without effecting us. Why could we not been born in Hawaii?

            thank you
            it is great that they have better lives in the west, but they quickly stop being Armenian. Living in Iraq/Iran/Syria/Lebanon was like living in Armenia, you had your schools, communities, everything. When they move to the west, it is practically a given that they will never return, and eventually assimilate, and stop being Armenian. As far as I'm concerned it is not much different than an Armenian dying.

              Dying we are doing either by culture or by dead itself

              The problem we have is that we need to get these folks to Armenia, and we just don't know how to do that! It is going to be the only thing that helps in the long run. Either that or the bulk of Armenians will be in LA.

              Lebanon had like 50 million Armenian schools I think all of LA has 3 or 4 schools even LA can't beat the Middle East, but nothing beats Armenia. We have to get these people to Armenia, sadly we are not doing enough, Lechin could be filled with these folks.

                If and only if they like to leave Syria then probably armenian goverment should make the first step from now and get involved,think about how much people will reside in armenia and what will be the new need , armenian economy must be more free such as the goverment so this people will be able to stay , not just trow then on there own faith.

                  There are still wealthy Armenians in the ME, in fact I ofthen wondered why the rich don't leave first. Fact of the matter is that once people have money and land they dont want to leave becuase the money is in land holding ect. If there was something tempting in Armenia I'm sure a lot will consider this move easily. Problem is ( meng erarme ga koznak yev eeraroo ga pezektenk ) Sad really!

                      At the same time we say it is the government we should also point out that we are in an effective blockaid for 20+ years. Nothing from toorks, azerbaboons in a cold war, Iran under sanctions leaving us only with stinking Georgians. When the Georgians are not rubbing our shipments the snows block the traffic. So in a sense I do agree we need better leaders, but at the same time we have to also understand that we are in a difficult time.
