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.

Originally posted by Siggie View PostThis is why I thought people might not care. It seems rather like the child who threatens to hold their breath until you give them what they want. Of course, they don't have to eat like we'd need to involuntarily gasp for breath, but have people ever resisted to the point of death if their demands haven't been met? Seems like an empty threat.

It is not and has no relation to the ANC(A) of the Diaspora which is the Armenian National Committee (of America). The ANC(A) and Հայ Ազգային Կոնգրես dislike each other and do not support one another.

Re: Current Condition of Armenia
Eddo Armenia is surrounded by 100million enemies who want it gone so dont u see how security might trumph other matters and rightfully so? As for the oposition in Armenia-it takes on many forms but the fact that its leader always happens to be LTP is very disturbing. The fact that the ANC is supporting LTP should rais all kinds of red flags but i doubt diasporans even give it a second thought. I have lived in the diaspora most of my life and when it comes to armenian matters the diasporans are like a bunch of sheep who look to their chirch and the anc for guidence wiithout ever questioning either one nor demanding quality from their leaders. I have seen so many disturbing speeched made by idiotic clergymen during mass who blamed the genocide on the victims lack of faith but the speech was in armenian and since most diasporans dont understand it and the rest appearently didnt see anything wrong with that speech thus no one did anything about it. I was so angry i wanted to choke the stupid clergyman for blaming his own people like that but no one around me seemed even a bit disturbed they all just kept kepping on with their stupid smiles on their faces. Its amazing that someone can offend u and your people in the most offencive manner imaginable on april 24 and not only will diasporans not do anything but they just kept smiling caus it was a beutiful sunday and they were in church. It is examples such as this that compell me to tell fellow armenians in the diaspora to question their leaders political and religious. These people need to be held accountable for what they say and do not worshiped for being idiots.

Re: Current Condition of Armenia
It's been posited all the various protests and revolutions around the world have helped feed each other... perhaps that might motivate a bit?
