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.

    In my close neighbourhood in Yerevan at least 20% of families at home have 1-2Gb internet connections. I wonder what are you talking about?

    For instance I'm using 2Gb ADSL internet connection which is shared with three other families and we each pay about $5 per month. And we are watching videos w/o any serious interruption.

    Thus, usually, there is no need for the most of Armenian population, who can use a computer and is interested in the internet, using it in busses or in a cafe!!!

        They are in buses not mini buses aka marshutnis.
        For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
        to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

            What is pathetic is that Asia has a faster system and better mobile phones, but proriatary laws make it that nothing gets
            to the western markets. This is what a few people have told me. Imagine they are many years ahead of U.S. and that
            already says alot.

            That here in the U.S. the carriers AT&T are a joke, besides service. They do not allow the bridging of the BBY Playbook.
            Then there is Verizon-and they allow it on their phones. Then there isSprint, well, anyhow, then there is T-mobile,
            (they were gobbled up by AT&T), (hope they get indigestion), and the talk of 4G wireless system, well, that is a full
            ways off for completion.
            So if it is a joker here, I do believe that countries like Armenia have a long way to go. For some 4G is going to be important.
            For others 3G is good enough.

            There is, as I know everyone here knows, a lot of dedication, manpower, funds and good strategy needs to go into a
            creating and over hauling what is there as per IT, Computer, information communications and wireless and internet
            operations needs a lot of work. Not easy.

            Let's hope that the infrastructure in Armenia can be done in a proper way to benefit all.

              People are constantly on their cell phones texting anyway so it seems like a really good idea to provide them with free wi-fi.

                  Activity on Twitter from the Armenian opposition is VERY slow today compared to past rallies. The hashtag to follow is #30jun, #Armenia or #Yerevan.

                    The opposition it seems has calmed down, they realise that the political landscape now is different and Serzh is ready with political dialogue.

                      They are still spreading fear. For example, claiming that Armenia will become empty and de-populated in a few years. Claiming that Serj and co are going to give up Artsakh, and they are still demanding early elections.
                      For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
                      to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.
