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.

    you can stop with the 'holier than thou' speech; i have only ONCE heard him mention that he has 'armenian roots;' just because someone is born armenian does not make him/her one! i have more respect for those who are only 1/2 or even a 1/4 armenian and have more armenian spirit than any other armenian who could not care less about their identity and has bought into this humanistic relativism b.s. and has totally abandoned any cultural values.

      What if he makes it a point to give money anonymously? You know, keep a low profile because he doesn't want all the glitz and glory..

      Just a thought..

        Nalbandyan proclaims his Armenianness 10 times more than Agassi. And i had never heard of Agassi donating to Armenia.

          This is all part of Brooke Shields's sinister plan.

            As I said, maybe he doesn't choose to announce what he donates. You can't not give him the benefit of the doubt, as some people here claim he has indeed donated money.

            And when the opportunity came up to speak about his Armenian identity (i.e. when he faced Sargsian in the U.S. open), he was more than willing to talk about how he was Armenian, and the announcers wouldn't shut up about how much he's helped Sargsyan's career.

            How can people claim that he doesn't "feel Armenian" when he went out of his way to help Sargsyan break into the ATP? Sargsyan said that before most games he would play, Agassi would give him a call, and tell him about the other guy's strengths and weaknesses, and give him tips and such.

            Just let the guy do his thing. Maybe he will be more active after his retirement. Who knows?

            And once again, SOAD is in the entertainment industry. People care about what they have to say, and they have the opportunity to say what they wish. It's not the same for an athlete.

              i think diar dants is agassi's PR agent and what's this about SOAD being in the entertainment industry and carrying more weight? people DO watch tennis for entertainment as well! maybe a different kind of crowd, but still if he chose to promote and enlighten his fans about our culture there is NOTHING stopping him! and he does not have to prounce around and make public the fact (as yet to be verified) that he donates $$$. noooo, this is not about money; i am referring to public awareness of who armenians are and where we come from and what religion we pray to...etc.; i was never talking about donating money!

                Yes, I'm being payed half a million dollars to protect him. *rolling eyes even harder*


                People DO watch tennis, yes. But most sounds that come out of tennis players are "OOO" and "UMPH" and "EEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWW, EEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWW" (last one was Monica Seles-inspired), not lyrics, and such. How did most System fans learn about the Armenian Genocide? The song "P.L.U.C.K.", followed by its explanations. And yes, performing artists such as singers will be a lot more vocal about issues than tennis players.

                Not everyone will be as vocal as SOAD, there's no debating that. And it's even unfair to expect that from everybody (don't forget that the members of SOAD are mostly first-generation immigrants, and none of them, to my knowledge, are the children of mixed marriages). But if the guy cares enough to go out of his way to help a fellow Armenian make his career, you can't discredit him as "not Armenian enough", even if you would have wanted him to do more.

                  You know....I wasn't feeling very Armenian this morning. I thought maybe it would go away, but it didn't. So I broke out the Armometer, and sure enough, my Armenian readings were LOW!

                  I took some pills. I'm fine now.
