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.

    I don't get the joke (sorry). But does this mean that there's some level of consensus that it should be Gha instead of K?

    Any commentary on the distortion issue, since there are many Kazarian's in the US? I'm curious as to whether you folks are thinking that they're all distorted.

    Thanks for your continued assistance.

      The funny part was that the name basicly means carrots. There are lots of armenian last names that mean real words thus are not just names or atleast the first part of it anyways. I met some nice people a while ago and the last name was droshakakirian, it means flag carrier literaly.O Of course there are the infamous pligian and putsigians names to(i am not kiding). The list goes on and gets pretty funny at times. We could probably start a new thread on funny armenian sirnames.
      Hayastan or Bust.

        Well Kazarian by itself has no meaning it seems (as far as I know) so if you want to be accurate with your last name, go with Ghazarian (Ղազարեան). Kazarian would certainly help odars in pronouncing your last name and not get dumbfounded when they see an 'H' after a 'G' and go

        If you're wondering, Ghazar is a name which is the Armenian equivalent of Lazarus.

            I see. I was under the impression that it was a derivation of the first name "Kazar" and the ian meaning "son" or "son of".

            Am I mistaken?

              No (smile). As I say, Kazarian is a common name.

                "Son of" part is correct. Never heard of the name Kazar, much less within an Armenian family. Ghazar is a relatively common name though, especially in old times.

                  I didn't want to mention the possibility that it might have originated from khazar for obvious reasons.

                    Khazarian (Խազարյան/Խազարեան) as a last name does not exist.

                      No, I meant that Frankie Kazarian also goes by the name Frankie Gerdelman... google the khazarian empire.

                      There is pages and pages of this stuff...

                      Kazarian

                      Last name origin & meaning:

                      Armenian: patronymic from the personal name Kazar, variant of Ghazar, itself a variant of Łazar (see Lazar). It is possible, but less likely, that the name is an ethnic name for a Kazar, a member of a people living in the southern Caucasus in the Middle Ages.
