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.

    turks are not "odars", they are enemies, they are a tribe of murderers and thieves who killed millions of our people and stole our lands. And until the Justice is done there is nothing, absolutely nothing, to talk with them. So, instead of wasting your time talking to them use your intellect to bring them to Justice.

      Re: Armenian Language and Learning

      I can read and write Armenian but am a bit rusty because I do not use it frequently.
      In Cyprus ( where I grew up) Armenian schools are available as part of the Education system.

      My kids were born in England. They learned Armenian at the community school run at weekends.
      The fee is nominal. They have finished this.

      I think it was good for their self esteem and I feel (they agree!) that they have achieved one of the important milestone in life as Armenians.
      Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
      Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
      Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

          Congrats. But now you have to work hard to achieve the most important milestone in their lifes as Armenians. ...Can you guess what that milestone is?

            Please disregard, please ignore everything the user "Army" writes in this forum. This turkchi is an agent provocateur. So, I'd like to ask the Admin to ban this clown as soon as possible.
            It is never a good idea to ignore. Army has not been offencive and has been contributing to this forum in a constructive way. I think belle the cat fits your description of agent provocateur much better. Please do not be a ignorent racist like muckuch, if you disagree with army just say so and state your reasons.

              ignorent racist???

              Just exactly with what sort of powder did you let them to have your brains washed? LOL. Was it the American pseudo-educational system of creating the modern day, colorless slave, or was it the equally destructive Soviet mind-numbing, zombie stamping conveyor belt? Either way, boy - the only ignorent racist here is YOU, reminding me of that dumb mouse that lets the cat (read the turk) to play with it without realizing that the cat is about to kill and eat it.

                Oh boy here comes another Mukuch character. Guess you havent read the posts where i tell people not to idealize the west and their values. And whats this? Name calling, offencive remarks, racism? It sadens me to know that we have so many people on this level. O and isnt that cute he even managed to call me a racist somehow. If you dont have anything interesting or entertaining to say then please stfu, thank you.

                  Read very carefully:
                  Insult each other or attack each other again and I will ban you. I don't care if you were "right" in the argument or not. That does not put you above the rules. Comment about the content of someone's post, but not about them as a person

                    Also check out Armeniapedia, Raffi has a section on learning Armenian telling you precisely how the grammar works



                    Here is the alphabet : http://www.omniglot.com/writing/armenian.htm
                    I don't think anything works better then conversing with people who know the languadge in person but obviously this method is not available to all.
