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.

        Re: Andre Agassi, not Armenian!???

        ??- I certainly do not doubt that Agassi is an Assyrian name, however, it can also be a shortened form of Agassian. My neighbour in Paris was Aram Agassi, and he most certainly was an Armenian, the family had shortened the surname somtime in the 30's 40's. Same with the Papazi's (Armen and Mihran) they were Papazian's and culled the 'an' from the name.

          His father is Armenian, so is he acording to him.
          I agree, he is Armenian.

              well its obvious he has some Armenian in him otherwise why would Sargis Sargsian be hanging around with him so much and have him in the audience in the special box next to Agassi's coach at Wimbledon.

                LARRY KING: The name Agassi is what derivation?

                AGASSI: Armenian, so my father was from Armenia and his parents sort of settled in Tehran.

                  Agassi's father is an Armenian from Persia, from Teheran as he aseverates.

                  Furthermore Agassi father represented Persia in the Olympics ( I can't recall the year) as a boxer in the Persian boxing Olympic team.

                  It is lamentable that Agassi seems to hide under lock and key his paternal origins. He should jutt his jaw out and proclaim his hayutiun. Someone should tap his head and remind him of the venerable and ancient armenian blood flowing in his veins.

                      I have read that Agassi is an Armenian, yet I cannot truly say the information is from a fully trustworthy resource.
                      It was written there that the family had changed their original surname "Agassian" into "Agassi" when immigrated, just to get used to the life there, just to start over.
