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.

      Yes, that too.

        oh and i would just like to add that this is one of the reasons why our Armenian language is so beautiful...

        arevyelk is where the sun rises and that is on the EAST
        and arevmoodk is where the sun sets and is on the WEST

        isnt that just the most simple thing??? rather then the word east and west which isnt telling of whether it is the side that the sun rises or sets...

            I think if you speak Armenian fluently, you can pick up the alphabet without a problem. Just sit down one afternoon and rewrite the whole thing over and over and over again. If you don't know the alphabet by heart by the end of the afternoon, then you must have done something wrong.

                Whoa... what a day. It was all intensive writing and learning of the alphabet. Hard, but what are ya gonna do. However, it was hard for me to keep my mind on the work. Gotta admit, the hight light of my night was not the lesson, but this very very attractive girl who seemed to be very, VERY attracted to me... I've never seen this kind of reaction from someone on the day they first meet me. I mean. wow, this is going good. All thanks to the fact that I'm a fan of Serg Tankian

                By the way, to whoever was trying to get in last time but gave up, you should have came today, he was adding whoever was there.

                  There was a seller on ebay a few months back selling little scrabbble-like wooden tiles each with a different Armenian letter printed on them. Would have been a good thing to have for learning the alphabet. But I suppose scraps of paper would do almost as well.

                    Armenian places a heavy emphasis on the object rather than the verb or the noun. So while in English you would say "I want the house", in Armenian we would say "The house I want" (Tunuh uzum em or Dunuh g'uzem). "Tun" or "Dun" means house. I think that this emphasis on the object may also be shared by another language, but I do not remember which one.
                    It might be Turkish

                      Actually my problem is that the sheet I have is a very bad copy, and when I look for the alphabet online it's either super fancy handwriting or a font which looks much different then how it should look. I just need the alphabet written for me in a simple hand printed way and I'll learn it like that *snaps fingers* but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
