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.

Our kingdoms were always represented either eagles/birds or lions on our flags, so our modern republic, being the heir of those ancient kingdoms, should have a similar flag, but a definitive one that represents our history as a whole as we are no longer ruled by dynasties.

    But, if Spain can manage to have their coat of arms on their flag, why not we? (Our coat of arms does our history justice as it represents the heir republic of the ancient Armenian kingdoms).

    How about the monstrosity of this flag?

      I find the first one represents us best. Royal, elegant and blood-soaked.

        Can you guess which nation used this flag? (don't cheat by checking the URL!)

            Haha I assure you I was going to say Madagascar on the first one you gave SevSpitak, but I quoted you so I saw the link...sorry.

            I don't know why but colorful flags makes you think of Africa, don't they?

                No one would guess it's China from 1912 to 1928. The five stripes represent the five ethnic groups united under one flag.

                Yeah colorful flags always remind us of Africa because Africans are extremely colorful :P

                Flags do have some sort of power, at least from an artist's point of view, and I find our flag's colors are nice, but there's something missing. I've seen our current flag simply with the coat of arms and I find that look very nice.

                  Angola was ruled by the Portuguese for 400 years and I think there are Chinese workers there as well. Like most African nations, there's oil and diamonds in Angola. I agree, the Armenian flag needs to be more symbolic than it is.

                    I was thinking of gettin the coat of arms tatoo on my arm at one time. I like our coat of arms and would love to see it on the flag. Our flag is ok but i think it could have been better especialy with the coa. Our flag is basicly Vennenzualas flag upside down.

                      ^My take on a new flag. perhaps a scroll line with a motto could go between the talons of the birds, or just in the center column.


                      As for the Georgian flag, I'm all for the new one, especially when i see the a more copperish color than brick red.

                      I like their Chief of General staff flag and war flag better though.
