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 Genocide Movie Being Made in Hollywood Calling all Armenian Actors/Residents

    My Name is Sam Nassar I have recently moved to Hollywood CA to become a Film Maker. I am currently attending the Los Angeles Film School. I am constructing a script for my thesis film production. I have chosen to make a film about the Armenian Genocide. It will be the story of my Great Grandmother Veronik Kavlakian who was a survivor of the horrors of the Armenian Genocide in Turkey. She was marched from her home in Fenesee to the Desert of Der Zor with her children ages 2, 4 and 5. My Great Grandfather had left for Detroit Michigan where I am from to make money working at the Ford Motor Plant to bring his family to America to escape the persecution of the Turks. They were marched for days on end with no shelter, food or water. Veronik buried all 3 of her daughters in the desert with her bare hands. They had suffered massive hunger and thirst and just simply could not go on. Veronik at that point knew what she was facing.......complete annihilation. She then made the decision to get away. She made her way to a refugee camp and eventually through the Red Cross was located by her family in America and brought through Ellis Island to Detroit. She then started a new life having my Grandfather Jack and his brother Tony. If not for her strength and determination I would not be here today. This film is my tribute to her and to the 1.5 million lives lost in the Genocide. Any actors/actresses or people interested in being extras would be a great help. I am also looking for Armenian musicians especially duduk to help me construct a score for my film. Anyone interested either post me on here or Email me at [email protected]. Thank you very much

    Just wondering if you're looking for paid actors or volunteers.

      I'm assuming volunteers since he's a STUDENT! lol, good luck Sam... too bad I suck at acting

        yea pretty much volunteers especially if you're going to be an extra.....i promise a great experience and a real great outcome with the finished product of the film. If there is a professional actor/actress or composer payments may be in order but as I said I am a student and I am working with a certain budget. However the film will be down the line so who knows what will happen. Catwoman extras don't need to be professional actors they don't have lines so if yo're interested let me know. I am looking for a real look not people pretending to be Armenians.

              Hey good luck!

              I'd like to help you by acting but I don't live in the US and still got school.

              Anyway, for the duduk musician, I know that the man who made the famous music for the movie "Gladiator" was Armenian, unfortunately I've heard he wasn't paid by those bastard of producers. Anyway, you could try to contact him (I don't know how but it should be easy for you because you entered the movie industry...), I'm sure he'll be delighted.

              Anyway, where did you study in order to be movie director? I dont know yet where and what I'm going to study and film making is one of my interests

                That guy is Djivan Gasparian and I wonder how easily you can get in touch with him...

                Good luck Char Dgha. I hope one day you make (satirical) films about Armenians in LA as well
