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.

    We belong European race group ( the branch of south european -> branch of Balkan -Caucasian race -> Armenoid type) .I didn't make this up.

    It's truly pathetic.
    I'm a monstrous mass of vile, foul & corrupted matter.

      There is no such thing as armenoid. that is some made up shyt and even though i agree with you the word armenoid has negative connotations from what i remember. And yes i share you're guys dissapointment and anger that some Armenians still consider themselves not white but you shouldnt get angry at them just try to explain to them where you are coming from.

        Armenia will maybe enter the Union in 30 years if no more...... a lot of people still don't agree with eastern european countries joining the EU..why would they for Armenia?

        Don't get me wrong, I really want armenia to join the EU but I only count as 1 person

          Hayer...why this insecurity? Why this aggressive longing to be considered "European"? Do we have anything to hide?

          First of all... Armenia in the EU in 10-20 years? And can you tell me why the EU would eagerly embrace a country fighting poverty and corruption, and who is still at war with its neighbour? Because we're Christian? Or is it because we have a nice culture? Think with LOGIC guys, not idealized emotions. Heck, do we even know if we want to join the EU? Has any Armenian delegation filled out a report on the pros and cons of joining the EU if ever the opportunity arised? Would it benefit us economically, culturally, militarily? I'm not saying yes nor am I saying no...but don't you think we should know these things before becoming pathetic beggars willing to bend over backwards so the EU might give us a sticker? Same goes for the border issue with Turkey. Some will say we must open them because we need money, while others say it must stay closed because they have not accepted the genocide. Once again, has anybody actually investigated the pros and cons?

          As for Armenians and our eternal obsession with being European...
          Armenian is an Indo-European language. So is Hindi. Does that prove anything?
          Our culture, in my opinion, cannot be classified as one or the other. Part of our folk music (Gomidas stuff, for example) is more "European", while other instruments, such as the kanon, zurna and so on are used mostly by Middle-Eastern cultures. Are we to deny that we enjoy the zurna now? That would be a shame..

          From what I have seen, we are mostly white, but a considerable part of us have a darker complexion. Do we rule these people out as "fake" Armenians, or "unpure" Armenians so we fit in more in our European fantasy? In the end, what are we more attached to? Arnenian culture, or European culture?

          I would've thought the choice would be pretty obvious..

              The Armenoid type has the following physical characters: Height and build, medium; head short from back to front, with large and fleshy nose turned down towards the tip. The lips are rather prominent. The hair is black and curly, the skin is of the swarthy colour, and the eyes are black or brown. It is a marked feature of this race that the skull goes straight up at the back; in other words, the Armenoid has "no back to his head." There is also a tendency for the eyebrows to "meet" over the nose The chin is usually poorly developed.
              Tigran: you are right Armenoid has negative indication . Well,who said we are perfect?

                Why can't we just be Armenian and proud of it? Does everything have to end with a mass murder of millions of people? Cmon now!

                There are White European Armenians, there are Dark Skinned Armenians, there are blonde armenians and there are blach haired armenians, ones with big noses and others with smalls..we all are Armenians. And since when has there been such thing as an Armenian Race? We are a mixture of different people that have united under a common tongue. EOM!

                    I never said that we should define our race as "Armenian". Frankly, I just don't care much about what race we fall in.

                      Yup. We are Armenian, our own style of people. We have lived close Russia and the Middle East, and have adopted many of their ways. We also ahve lived in Europe and America, adding more to our uniqueness. Just let it be, bro. Lol but no inter-racial sh*t. haha, not my style.
