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.

    Yes, I thought of this long and hard. In forethoughy there should have been a dismantling programme. For example, if Armenia mad shoes for all the states, they should have continued to, and each state sets out a realistic cost for what it produced. In this sense, I feel Armenia was raped.

    Here is the problem, America began to stick its nose into the former Soviet republics. So we could not continue that system. The system was designed to basically BS and make useless things so people can work. Furthermore, Armenia has been surrounded by US satelites which make it hard for Armenia to continue its trade with Russia and the rest of the CIS, we are not on the US's Good Guy list.

      Hayq: I know this might sound familure, but i truly think it is Armenian paranoia fed to you by Russia to keep you in line with russia if they need you.

      America has satelites on everyone.. not just you. And I doubt they have any political grudge with Armenia... The truth is that Armenia is one of the many countries in the world that needs help. The problem is, they say they don't. Then ask why people do not help them.

        Satelites as in Countries with puppet governments.***

        Well Karabagh war was probably instigated by Russia, very likely. However, it is America now pressuring Armenia to give in to these "Fruit" revolutions.

        Armenia needs help, and I fear, that the only way to get better is to give up and betray the Russians after all they have done for some American money. I hate it, but it seems like a very likely choice.

          It seems to me that we've had enough of those people already.
          if he actually made sense and knew what he was talking about this might not be so bad.

            To have a completely different set of moral values to another is not like demolishing an arguement. I conceded points, not admitting i was wrong, but seeing the chain of thought was the same for all. Paranoia, lack of faith and a little stupidity. And again you talk of another topic. Are you stupid?
            If you have issues with that topic, raise them in that topic. Else shut up in this one.

            Pyunik... Do you not think the government could utilise these buildings, perhaps heat them and use them for growing food etc???
            We have a system here where if someone does not work, and they are fit, they work in the community. Help out with helping to grow food and keep the towns maintained..
            why are you growing food in buildings? what are you growing? there is plenty of arable land. it would be a lot smarter to use the heating and rebuilding money for more tractors, equipment...

              In honesty I think the Russian -government that took with it the work that Armenia used to carry out- should be made to compensate more than they do, or have. They have left Armenia with nothing but empty buildings.




              Dude/not dude, sorry. unsure...

              That is the beauty... when these factories were virtually given to the builders, as the Armenian ones would be, nobody saw the potential. the government sold them cheap to save money having to develop them... the only real cost was materials and labour. It could be done for next to nothing if it was for the people. Remember, this was capitalism at its finest. If it was for social good it would be really cheap.
              russia didnt leave anybody physically. if you think there were russians running off with factory equipment you are mad. it was a breakdown of the economic system. The government couldnt possibly keep those factories running without incurring huge losses and they are already strapped for money. so untill they get privatized they stay like that. and privatization has been going pretty good despite some corruption. Factories are finally turning profits and increasing jobs.

                Some plants need extra heat that could only be provided if the plantation is inside a structure (home, tents, anything)....but those are for exotic veggis/fruits....And not worth growing in the western countries.

                If we grow , say a banana, in London, it would cost a thousands times more then if it's grown somewhere in Africa....

                Thats money loss.

                  well thats my point. there is nothing practical or economic about it. if only we had more people like obi who are older and smarter than us and live in hte homeland of the english language but sound like a language student with their poor grammar. are you sure you are from england? im seriously having doubts judging from your language.

                      ...because when you are blockaded your primary concern to survival and living well is going to be greenhouse grown bananas.
