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.

    Ok, don't believe it. I can see how one may feel compelled to help a kid undergoing cancer treatment, but I would much rather contribute to something that can help the country grow. More specifically, I would donate money to magnet school programs. These schools, at least, produce the next generation of scientists and engineers that are necessary to get Armenia to grow, whereas, a kid undergoing cancer treatment will be sick his whole life. It's harsh, but unless it's a relative or a friend, I'm stepping out.

      Today we had great news, big donation...

      And all details are here, follow the links, please..Nobody will know your details, everything goes to them directly, unless you choose to send money to specific bloggers who will take them from hands to hands...These kids are in hospitals and we are ONLY people they have, look into those beautiful ARMENIAN eyes...
      These kinds of donations, while somewhat effective at touching a very very small percentage of those in need, do not in any way solve any major problems. In fact, then breed a culture of dependence, with the unfortunate side-effect that most of them will never get to any aid. Helping a few here and there may make you or the other bloggers feel important as you've "helped" some people, but in reality, you have done absolutely nothing that will prevent people from getting into these kinds of conditions. In fact, those who are dependent on those donations to survive, will come to "expect" them as time passes, and rather than spend time to find ways to make ends meet, they will simply continue holding their palms up, asking for help. When victim hood is rewarded and even encouraged, it paralyzes those who are supposedly being helped. This creates permanent dependence rather than something temporary.

      If you still want to give money, have them do something in return, even if the work is meaningless, it inspires respect as one earns money, rather than receives it.

            The opposition is planning a revolution tomorrow. I'm hearing they are going door to door with flyers and leaflets, 10,000 have been passed out so far.



            They even made a rap video. Not surprised it's in English.

              The youth better not fall for this sh!t. This isn't the way for Armenia to take care of its problems.

                On their facebook page they only have a couple hundred people - so doubt it's going to be successful. I think it's going to be on March 4, not tomorrow also.

                  According to this, it's tomorrow http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Arm...89185421114440

                  They have prepared a Twitter hashtag too. Watch for #1mar if you have an account.



                  ^Of course, Levon isn't even featured here regardless of the fact that he himself has shady millions and started the culture of corruption in post-Soviet Armenia. Where are the oligarches that support Levon as well?

                    Found another FB page though it might not be linked to tomorrow's attempt http://www.facebook.com/pages/Virtua...55054981217680

                    This one is anti-Serge and anti-Levon.

                      I'm still astounded that people can support Levon after what he did during his presidency. His elections were more rigged than any election in Armenia. He ordered tanks to ride over protesters after the election - an election he had clearly lost. What makes people think he has changed? But in my opinion, this is just going to be a small protest, mostly old people with some signs, they've given to much hype to it.
