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: The Case for Siamanto and Other Forward-Thinking Armenians

    I too would like to know what you (yeraz) would do if war resumed between Armenia and azerbaijan?
    For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
    to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

        Armenian version of "talk is cheap".

        Now why don't you respond to the question I asked you.

            I would say for a 3rd-generation quarter-Armenian that's only been speaking for a couple months I'm doing pretty good.

            I can also point out all the grammatical errors you make in English but I'm not that petty. I understand that I'm a native speaker of English and you're not (or at least that's how you come across in your writing).

            This is exactly the type of attitude I'm referring to in some Armenians. They claim it is necessary for non-Armenian speakers to learn Armenian but when one makes an effort they drag them down instead of helping them. I don't speak Armenian everyday like those in Glendale and when I do I'm grateful to those who take the time to try to understand my Armenian.

              To be honest it's not like I would go over there and fight. I'm a 3rd generation American. In fact, I would say I would be lucky if I ever got to go to Armenia in my lifetime.

              Does that make me a bad Armenian? If so, then I think you'll have to include most everyone in Glendale.

                  Sorry. It's a little hard to tell someone's facial expressions and body language through a computer screen.

                    OK, now I'm impressed. What is the rest of your mix?

                      Hang on there. Many "Armenians" in Glendale don't speak Armenian. They are as "white-washed" and "otaramol" as they come. They are disgusting pieces of work, really. Knowing Armenian, and being able to spit out a few disjunctive sentences, does not mean you speak the damn language.

                      Most of them don't know anything about being Armenian other than parroting the same thing about April 24, "1915 Never Again." They really don't know the language, nor the history. They just mimic each other and stroke each other off on April 24, feel good about themselves, fulfill their yearly duty of pretending to be Armenian, and voila, back to being thugs, bros, hos and myspace sluts, what have you. That's most of Glendale.
