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.

        TRANSLATION FROM RAFFI
        ***********************************
        "Vartan didn't know how to lie. He spoke the truth to everyone. He was even incapable of covering up his own blunders. Generally speaking, this type of individual is thought of as eccentric by ordinary folk, who are used to dealing with people who say one thing and mean another, and they hate anyone who insists on speaking the truth."

          On his own, a writer,
          even one of Shakespearian magnitude,
          can change nothing.
          He can only try to understand
          and share his understanding with his readers,
          assuming of course he has them.

              ARMENIAN WRITERS / Saroyan once published a satirical short story titled "Armenian Writers," in which he describes them as pompous assess with ridiculously difficult surnames. *As far as I know, this story has never been included in any one of his many volumes and remains buried in an obscure American periodical. *Most Armenian writers resent Saroyan’s fame and the anti-Semites among them ascribe it to his Jewish wife. *Was Zarian’s wife Jewish? I am not sure. But most Armenian writers resent him too. Neglected, even ignored, by their own countrymen, they are convinced what stands between them and fame is either a Jewish wife or a competent English translator.#

                Whenever I mention money in my writings,
                I am told an artist should be above such petty considerations.
                “Think of Beethoven,” I was reminded once.
                “Can you imagine him thinking about money
                while composing his divinely inspired sonatas, concertos, and symphonies?”
                *
                As a matter of fact, it is because I think of Beethoven
                that I write as I do. Most of his published letters
                deal with crooked publishers, royalties, and money.
                His contempt for the aristocracy (his potential patrons)
                knew no bounds.
                Once, during a walk in the park,
                he even rebuked Goethe for taking his hat off and bowing to a prince.

                    When Talaat sat down with Zohrab
                    to play tavlu,
                    Zohrab forgot who he was,
                    but Talaat never did.

                      From
                      THE DIARY OF AN ORPHAN
                      ***************************************
                      By Kourken Mahari
                      *********************************
                      His name was Karnik.
                      A boy from the mountains,
                      he spoke with a stentorian voice
                      and pretended to be a simpleton.
                      He rejoiced whenever one of us
                      threw stones at chickens
                      and managed to shave one of their tail feathers.
                      But he was himself such an expert marksman that
                      not only did he kill, cook, and ate chickens
                      but he also replaced the straw in his pillow
                      with chicken feathers; and he did all this
                      without anyone’s awareness.
