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.

      Scout?

      http://unzipped.blogspot.com/2008/12...-armenian.html

      Nice eyebrow piercing... how old is this woman? I guess you have to appeal to a younger crowd these days. Looks like she spent one too many years covering the story in Gaza... somebody hand this lady some burek.

      There is also an interesting blog about Armenia's Gay Rights movement on that page http://gayarmenia.blogspot.com/

        I need a translator to understand what D.L. Hughley is saying half the time. I wonder where Hughley attained his degree in journalism. Comedy and the News on CNN. That goes to show you how credible of a news source CNN has become. Infotainment.

          What does an eyebrow peircing have to do with age? I don't think she is as shallow as to get a facial peircing to please the younger generations, especially when she photographs for the magazines and newspapers she does. She most likely got it when she was younger and kept it b/c she liked it

          1. If you really do find him that hard to understand, turn on the captioning
          2. Journalists do not need a degree to be a journalist, i.e. Peter Jennings
          3. Nobody is say Hughley is a jouralist, CNN just needed something other than repeated headlines to keep the influx of viewers it recieved during the campaign.
          4. CNN is still a more credible source than most news channels. But if you are still uncertain of its credibility, you should watch the BBC, it's the most credible news source around

            It has a lot to do with looking professional. She looks like a Generation Y-er about to go "clubbing".

            Here is an interview with Scout Tufankjian
            http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/10026

            So does having a name ending in "ian" or "yan" make someone Armenian? At least people of German or Irish descent in North America don't claim to be so because of their last name. They realize they have been assimilated. Armenians are in denial.

            Peter Jennings worked his way up the ladder, he was not a comedian turned news broadcaster. The dumbing down of America never ceases to amaze me. Most people outside of America know CNN and FOX news are about as reliable as SNL's weekend news. I do watch the BBC, as well as Russia Today, Al Jazeera, and Press TV (Iranian).

              So b/c of her appearance and the fact that she was born here(USA) she must be assimilated and 100% non-Armenian? Who are you to judge? Do you even know if she can or can not speak Armenian? Do you know what her ideas and concerns are for Armenian issues? Most likely not. So stop being judgmental, and just be grateful that there is and Armenian who ended up being close to the president

                I'm not in denial, I admit I've been assimilated to a certain degree. What does her being close to the president have to do with anything? Monica Lewinsky was also close to the president. Scout Tufankjian is represented by Polaris Images and supports the Boston Red Sox. She is a piece of Americana.

                All that aside, she has taken some awesome pictures from around the world, including the Gaza Strip. I can't understand how someone with that kind of experience can still sound so childish in an interview.

                Here is a another video of her from youtube

                  I agree. She sounds so childish, it's ridiculous. She takes some damn good pictures though.
