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.

  • Huge crisis averted?

    For all those unaware, Kocharian was in Georgia this past weekend...

    Guns found in music hall shortly before president's arrival

    By Tengiz Pachkoria

    TBILISI

    Special services found a submachine gun and a sniper rifle in one of
    the music halls that the presidents of Georgia and Armenia are
    supposed to visit on Saturday evening.

    The State Security Ministry said the submachine gun and the sniper
    rifle were found in one of the storage rooms several hours before the
    arrival of Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili and Armenian
    President Robert Kocharyan.

    It is not known yet who is the owner of the weapons or how they got
    into the building. Special services searched both the performers and
    spectators.

      Heck, it might've been an attempt on Saakashvili's life. Or it might have been an Azeri, who knows?

      But whether we like to admit it or not, Armenia would be in quite an awkward and unstable situation had Kocharian been assassinated.

        Scary thought, its like in Godfather III when they try to take Michael out. Imagine the people viewing for presidency there would be about 20 candidates.

          Only 2-3 serious ones though.

          Just like in the States, where there are like 18 candidates, but some people don't even know who Ralph Nader is.

          In my opinion, Armenia's next president will be Parliament Speaker Arthur Baghdasarian. And for now, I can say that that's a good thing.

            I really wish I knew more about Armenian Politics, I feel like a bad Armenian sometimes... I honestly don't even know anything about Kcharian other than no body seems to like him (and for some reason isn't being voted out...)

              Here's all you need to know about Armenian politics: Nobody likes anybody.

              Except me, who likes Vartan Osganian, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. That's about it.

              Seriously though, it is a very interesting topic, in my opinion, but I don't think it should be a pre-requisite, unless you plan on getting involved later on (either by becoming a politician, or simply becoming an Armenian citizen). I don't think there are too many people in the diaspora who know all these officials. As long as you have a grasp of the major issues, you should do alright.
