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.

    From about 428-652 Eastern parts of Greater Armenia and its territories were under Sassanian occupation. Sassanians set up a system of Marzpanates (provinces, the word marz is still used to this day in Armenia meaning province) where Armenian naxarars such as the Mamikonians would be de facto rulers of the nation while remaining a Sassanian protectorate and a buffer zone as opposed to the Byzantine Armenians further West. That was the flag of Armenian until the rise of the Bagratunis, Rshtunis and Artsrunis.

      I also like the symbol Grand Duke Gevorg Pirumyan chose for the Union of Armenian Noblemen.

        The seventh letter of the Armenian alphabet, Է for Էություն.

        Actually we're way too diverse a people to have one symbol. Maybe that could be our unifying symbol: to have none.

          Yes, very nice way of looking at it. Do you know what that sounds like? "Oh, we've always been divided, let's stay divided because I don't want to join because I am lazy." No!

            I just read this thread... hopefully you haven't made anything official yet, LOL... cause If I'm not mistakin', we already got one. Though it's not as simple as the Jewish star or German cross... it's got more depth and meaning than any of 'em. After all, why do you want it to be simple? The beauty of this symobol is the complication and how each small part symbolizes one aspect of Armenia and Armenians.



            The central shield of the coat of arms bears the charges of four royal Armenian dynasties: the Artaxids, the Arshakids, the Bagratunis and the Rubinyans (the Kilikian kingdom). These surround the depiction of mount Ararat with the outline of Noah’s ark resting on the peak.
            The silver waves of lake Van are at the foot of the mountain.
            The shield is supported by a lion and an eagle that symbolize the spirit, the power, forbearance and velour.
            A sword at the bottom represents the struggle of the Armenian people for Freedom and Independence, while the quill and cereal spikes symbolize its creative talent and peaceful character.

                I found it funny. Do you believe communists had their hammer and sickle on their becklaces or bacelets?

                If I think of a symbol it would be Ararat and nothing less. Persians called us "People of Urartu" (Urartu - Ararat). We are the sons of Ararat - I just can't think anything but it.

                Watch, when a day will come and we will take our lands back it is going to be an official symbol of Armenia.

                I'd put it on our flag. It would look good.

                PS: Not easy to draw? Are you serious?

                  I am just wondering:
                  Do you not feel insulted by yourself leaving pointless, useless, reasonless comments?

                    Remember you are talking to cattle, there are few things it can comprehend.
                    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.
