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.

          Jahannam raises a good point, that I wish to stretch a bit further.

          Armenian culture has developed in two main cities, Constantinople and Tiflis.

          The culture developed in Constantinople was highly influenced by European countries, France being the most important of them. Tiflis was influenced more by Russia.

          At the same time, however, the Armenian villages were obviously influenced by the surrounding environment, which was comprised of Persians, Turks, Kurds, Arabs, Greeks, yevayln.

          So as we can see, our "urban culture" (literature, classical music,yevayln) tends to be more "Western" or "European", while our "earthly culture" (traditions, yevayln) are more influenced by the region.

          Perfect combination in my opinion.

          Btw, Jahannam, I find it surprising that you feel closer to Arabic culture than Armenian. It's definitely not the case for my family...

            Inter racial and inter ethnic is different. Inter racial as White and BLack, Yellow and Black, White and Yellow. Armenians techniically are white, but European, some are and some others.

                  Interesting. 15 out of 20 are Armenians.
                  75% is not bad at all.
                  Lets make it 100%.

                    I love Armenian music... and khorovadz and Herisa!
                    but when I'm on the dance floor lets say... I'd rather hear Amr Diab singing than Tata lol
                    so it depends on the mood.

                    We Armenians do not differentiate Tata and Amr Diab. It's the same non-Armenian filth. Armenian folk music is reminiscent to Irish and Greeks folk music. The stuff that Diasporans call "kef" music and Armenians from ROA and CIS call "rabiz" music has nothing Armenian in it.

                    I don't blame you for what you are, it's not your fault you ended up in that God forsaken middle east because of the Genocide. However, I do blame you and others like you for not aspiring to embrace your Western culture dropping the oriental influences that was forced on to you.

                      if you think that ALL of us should've chosen "white european"... since you say...

                      then, with all my respect, you've asked the main question the wrong way.

                      specially for those of us born and raised in the diaspora, culture and race become two very different aspects!
                      now in my case I was raised in the middle east (syria).
                      so what happens? as soon as I enter the thread and I see "which describes you best culturally..." , I think "middle eastern"... why? you ask? because despite of the fact that I'm racially a "white/caucasian" and everytime I fill out an application, that's what I choose, when it comes to "culture", I prefer arabic food and music over Armenian, I've read more arabic books than Armenian, I'm more familiar with arabic social traditions because I was raised among those people!.
                      and so I vote Middle Eastern!
                      and I think the fact that you used the word "cultural" before "racial" kinda helped.
                      now if you would please be respectful of others. storming out at people because they didn't make the "right choices" according to YOU (which, you shouldn't have started a poll to start out with, if you thought ALL of us would describe ourselves as "european") won't get you anywhere.

                      My apologies for not elaborating.

                      I believe that for one to be Armenian they ahve to be both racially and culturally Armenian. Same goes to Italians, Hellenes, Germanics, Celts, Slavs etc.

                      For example, millions of Turks are racially/biologically White/European whose ancestors where Armenians, Greeks and other Europeans but culturally and mentally they are not. 70% of Albanians are not White/European because they have a foreign non-Western culture and their religion is islam, same goes to Bosniaks, Chechens, Tatars (turkified finns) etc.
