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.

    We do not have to be thankful for the Latin nor to other influences, our alphabet was influenced by our own culture and the writing systems that were found within the Armenian lands more than a thousand years prior when latin was not even around yet.

      3/5 of europe stole their alphabet not from the Italians but from the Romans. There are no more pure Romans my friend. Italians are a mix of Romans and Germanic tribes.

      For everything else i agree with vrej

        How very backward.

        The point is some Armenian letters originated from Latin, are we now in eternal debt to Latin?

        Children are told that Mesrob Mashdots gave the georgians all the letters he didnt like for the Armenian alphabet, im surprised you still believe this...

          I don't knwo who taught you that but, Mesrob Mashtotz didnt give all the letter he didnt like to the georgians, He invented a completely new alphabet for them, in which the Armenian alphabetical elements can be seen, go look at the Georgian Alphabet and you will see.

          here it also mentions Mesrob Mashdotz as the founder of the Georgian earlier alphabet, which evolved into what it is now.

          You just can not handle being wrong, it disgusts me.

            It's not so much that you should agree with Marxism, it's that you should hold yourself open to other ideas, that might contain truth. Everything contains a bit of truth and if you close yourself to one, you are closing yourself to all.

            Strangely enough those that contend "you are narrowminded" to the opposing side are often the ones that don't look beyond their borders of thought.

            Oh and vrej, nice post on that link.

                  Small Armenian communities existed in Ethiopia as early as the 7th century, possibly due to the ties between the Armenian and Ethiopian churches. By late 19th century, Armenians had gained prominence in business, government, and diplomacy.

                  The tie between the churchs was very great and the Armenians had very prominent roles in ethiopia, this played a very important role in the influencing of the letters, yes it was not mesrop who did it but Armenians did have cultural and religious influences in ethiopia.

                  Heck my Ethiopian co-worker told me that the Armenians influenced their letters.

                    The reason their church is so similar to ours is because we had some of the first missionaries down there. its pretty interesting. Thanks for the info vrej, and thanks for stuffing the words back into this stupid communist's mouth.
