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.

      hmm thx for replying and dave ill be in Armenia the 6th of august ...too bad hehe ...
      and dants what you say about Yegiptahye is very true alot of them are ramgavar but their kids dont even speak Armenian ( me ) ...as for what you say about tashnags who instill "fake" Armenian pride in their kids I think this is very true ... so in the end both parties have their pro's and con's I guess..

        Yep. But in my opinion, the pros could be a lot stronger if everything were done outside of a political party mindset.

        What school have you gone to? Do I know you? lol

          There's nothing ''fake'' about the Armenian pride tashnags teach to their children. Tell me why it's fake.

          hmm thx for replying and dave ill be in Armenia the 6th of august ...too bad hehe ...
          and don't come back! ... jk


          Diar Dants Tashnag and pro-Tashnag Armenians have a better school here. I'm pretty sure you've heard bad comments about Sourp Hagop but Armenian is tought until sec.5 Which means tashnag kids will know better Armenian than anybody else in this part of the Armenian diaspora.

          In some other school they even let Arab kids to enter

            Yeah, Sourp Hagop in Montreal. Is it a K-12th school?

              From what I have seen of Sourp Hagop graduates and their knowledge of Armenian language and culture, I am not impressed. I'm a graduate of Alex Manoogian, and I'm definitely not impressed by that either. I would give Sourp Hagop a slight edge, but am definitely glad that I wasn't singing "Ari tashnag tro!" at 6-7 years old.

                Iv been to Ecole Secondaire Jeanne Mance and College Ville-Marie and im going to ahuntsic soon.. I grew up in St-Lambert so I didnt get a very Armenian education ...btw I have nothing against tashnag people ....90% of the Armenians I know are tashnags ..I just have something against their politics heh

                ...hm to give you an example the other day I went to a wedding and I was talking to a kid there ..the song ara vay vay was playing and he said "we need some more revolutionnary music in here" I awnsered like dashnag music ? he agreed ... this is the kind of education your kid will get from going to surp hagop I guess lol ... but then again surp hagop is not bad I went to their barahantes a couple of times, the people there are fun and the food is not bad hehe
