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.

  • Armenian Class

    So today was my first day of Armenian class. Even though it's been only one session so far, I think it's my favorite class ever in college. I was actually surprised how orderly it was... you'd think a class mostly full of Armenians would be noisy and disorganized. However, the fun part was seeing the non-Armenians taking the class... especially this one african girl who I can't WAIT to see pernounce certain words. Well... this will be fun.

    Oh something interesting I realized about the alphabet... the letters are multi-syllabic . The only Alphabet I know is English, an dall those letters are one syllable, but I was really surprised to see some Armenian letters having two and I think even three syllables in them, it's like they're more like words then letters.

        No I dont go to valley. I just woke up early to go to the History class I was going to take. But then I changed my mind, 15 units is enough for one semester.

            hahaha!
            Vay HyeJinx vay! I see that you are very eager to please.

            And while I must say that it is surprising that you just now found out who Mesrob Mashdots is, the fact that you took an Armenian class speaks volumes about you, and your "Armenianness".

            Though I'm confused. You know how to speak, right?

              Oh yes, from what other people have said I speak exceptionally well for someone who was born in America, to the point that people have actually asked me what town in Armenia I am from. However, I do not know how to read or write, and I speak Eastern armenian and the class teaches Western Armenian... but from what the teacher has said, there are really only a few superficial differences in speaking and a few spelling differences when reading and writing.

              In one day I've already learned so much. I always figured all of the Armenian Diaspora was due to the genocide, which is for the most part true, however Basgahyes (my dad's side) is a different case all together. About two hundred years before the genocide even happened, when the persians tried conquering Armenia they took about 300,000 Armenians with them back to Iran, who's decendents are modern day Basgahyes. So I learned something about the ancestory on my dad's side. Pretty cool.

              Also Baron, I'm seriously considering visiting Armenia summer '05. We should get a group together and go since aside from my uncle and his family I don't really know anyone else there.

                  Nope, don't play Postal. You may see me on Battle.net playing WarCraftIII though

                  'nother interesting fact I learned today... did you know the first newspaper published using the Armenian alphabet was produced in Madras, India sometime between 1794 and 1796. Although one question I should have asked at the time, and that you guys are probably now asking... Why India??!?!?!?!?!?

                    I found it confusing to be honest. English has been planted in my brain so well that It was difficult to understand the concept of the Armenian alphabet, let alone forming scentences. I found it odd (please, no one be offended by that comment) how armenians form sentences by placing the before the noun. Such as "Yes kez sirumen"- translated it sounds in english as "I you love." As we would say , I love you.
