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.

  • memorial concert for Violinist Vartan Manoogian

    I wish to inform anyone interested of the memorial concert for my father, Vartan Manoogian. It will take place in Madison, WI, at Mills Concert Hall on the corner of Park and University at the Humanities Building of UW-Madison.

    For those who do not know of him.

    He was born in Baghdad June 5th, 1936. My grandfather Ivan settled the family there after escaping the Turks. At age 5 he began studies in violin with a Rumanian violinist and former student of George Enescu. He was the first concertmaster of the Baghdad philharmonic and gave countless concerts with the great Armenian pianist, Beatrice Ohadessian. He progressed to the point of attracting the attention of the French ambassador there who gave him an opportunity to attend the National Conservatory in Paris where he consequently won first prize with distinction. He then served as concertmaster of the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra and later the famed Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. He earned a Master's degree from Julliard under the guidance of Ivan Galamian. In 1970, he began his teaching career at the North Carolina School of the Arts and then in 1980, he accepted a position at UW-Madison where he taught until his untimely death. There are many other accomplishments I could list on and on. Above and beyond that, he meant everything to me as a father and as a friend.

    His surviving family is his sister Zovig of Philadelphia, and his brothers, Khatchig and Souren of LA, Hamo of Arizona, and Torkom of Jerusalem.

    I hope that this informs Armenians who may not know of his death and those who may wish to attend the memorial concert. His former student, Manuel Guillen will give the american premiere of Zulema de la Cruz's violin concerto whose second movement is based on Armenian melodies. The concerto is a memoriam to my father.

    God rest his soul.
