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.

    Nice video, Mos. Yeah it is a pretty acurate representation of downtown (Abovyan, Nalbandian sts. etc). Looks like it was filmed from a marshroutka?

    Word to those who plan to visit Armenia:

    1. If you ever need a taxi only get in the ones with yellow license plates because the ones with white ones aren't "licensed" and 9 times out of 10 they will try to take advantage of you unless you are a local, can tell that you have been living there for a while, or are actually honest (LOL).

    2. If a taxi driver ever asks you for more than 1000-1200 drams you're being screwed. You can go all the way across Yerevan and only have to pay ~1200 dram. Always look to see if they have their meter on before they take you anywhere.

    June 15, 2011 - 19:22 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - MyFi modems will be installed in Yerevan’s public transport to provide free Wi-Fi wireless connection.

    The expected connection speed will near 7.2Mbps; the modem will provide simultaneous connection to 5 devices. Further details will be given at tomorrow’s program presentation.

    That's because it is I like that to a certain point because Armenia will need at least one or two spots that can be its Aspen or St. Tropez (I realize S. Tropez is on a sea coast). The current issue is that the quality of service is not good enough to warrant the high prices. Until the service catches up to the price or the price is lowered, it won't be a place to visit often but still nice to check out once in a while.

    Yea, I was staying on Mashtots ave. and I must say it was great, so easy to go to different parts of the city from there.. we would walk to the Opera and hraparak (which was like five minutes away) and there were so many good shops around that area, I didn't want to get back home, lol. I really loved it!

    Goris is not bad? It is amazing, magical! From all the places/cities I visited, I loved Goris more than anywhere else. Dzaghkadzor is definitely beautiful but I felt like it is becoming a resort for the rich..

    That is one of the reasons, the other as I mentioned above, is because Yerevan lies in a valley.
