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.

    searching for family member - please help!

    hello everyone =)
    this is my first post here, I accidentally found this forum and while reading a little bit here and there, I found out that there are nice people around and so I thought you may be able to help me.
    I am searching for my half brother, who is 100% Armenian. He's supposedly living somewhere in Pasadena, CA at the moment.
    The problem is, I'm not sure about his name. He may have my father's name (Cholakian) or his mother's (Kidikian).
    His first name should be Sarkis, though my dad told me he's also called Serj, don't ask me why...
    He's born in fall and around 25 years old. I found a person called Serj Cholakian on classmates, if you know that site, but I am unable to contact him through there. That person went to John Marshall Fundamental School, but I'm not sure if that's him.
    If there's someone here living near Pasadena and may know a community or someone who could help me I'd be so glad, because I'm searching for him for years now.
    Thanks in advance =)

    You could order the phonebook from that area and try calling up everyone with those lasts names to see if they know him.

      that's actually a good idea, but that'll be a lot of numbers to call, you know. and I don't want his mother to find out, because she doesn't want him to know about his father. so I can't just call anywhere.

            Try myspace and facebook, many people have one or the other so he might be on there. Also you can try calling the different armenian churches in pasadena, if he hangs out with other armenians he's probably gone to one, there's a list of about 10 or so here with phone #

                    It might as simple as try googling his name & see of anything comes up.
