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, I'm definitely ignorant. The guitar and the banjo have definitely been part of our culture for centuries.

    Gor Mkhitaryan himself lists American bands and musicians as his biggest influences, and says that he does not try to make "Armenian" music. But you'd know him better than he, right?

    My point was not "what will I play at my wedding". My point was that every culture (or almost) has festive music too. I'd be interested in knowing what you would consider as ours.

    And heck, I may be even more critical than you in certain regards. While I enjoy Harout's music, and he is fun to dance to, I don't consider most of his music as "real" Armenian.

    Khachatur Avetisyan, in my opinion, represents the renaissance of our traditional music in the 20th century. Roupig Matevosian, Badalian, Ofelia Hambartsumian and all are the people I consider as the ones who sing our true traditional music. Our traditional dance, with its movements, is also much more "refined" than the arabic or kurdish one for example (by refined I mean that the movements are a lot more elegant and,um, noorp. Gomidas, of course, is the cleanest form of Armenian music we have. Aram Khachaturyan, on the other hand, has combined many elements of Georgian, Tcherkez and Kurdish music in his works.

    And finally, the White Man is not guilty of everything. He's just not much better than anyone else.
    We can go on forever...

    Honestly I really have no serious problem with people like you. We can work together for a brighter future. Not just cuz you're a racially sound specimen and we can't afford to alienate you but I believe you have the capacity for understanding what was done to us since the 15th century and how we can make the Armenian Phoenix rise back from the ashes.

      "We Armenians do not differentiate Tata and Amr Diab."

      Are you crazy? First of all it's not even the same type of music. Second, how could you possibly compare Tata to a star like Amr Diab?

      Grey Wolf, I never heard of Amr Diab. I have no idea who or what it is.
      I just assumed it's some popular towelhead singer.

        Haha! I'm a racially sound specimen you say? Hehe..you want my light-haired fair skinned self to produce many children, don't you?

        And I am glad that you consider me smart enough. You have yet to meet my standards though.

        I know quite welll what has happened to us since the 15th century, and I do not need you to explain it to me because you think I have the capacity to understand it. Once again, I ask you. Who has granted you this right to alienate certain Armenians because they do not live up to your standards, and to "train" the other ones among us, who are now jumping for joy because we seem to have potential?

        Just when you were starting to talk a little less radically and a little more logically, you go right ahead and piss me off with a comment like that.

          As long as they're not raised as Armo wiggers.

          And I am glad that you consider me smart enough. You have yet to meet my standards though.
          I don't. I merely suggested you have the cognitive potential.

          I know quite welll what has happened to us since the 15th century
          If you knew you wouldn't have asked half the questions you did.

          Once again, I ask you. Who has granted you this right to alienate certain Armenians because they do not live up to your standards, and to "train" the other ones among us, who are now jumping for joy because we seem to have potential?
          The keyword is Armenians. All Armenians are one with one culture, race, language and history. Anyone outside those parameters and with different attributes is not Armenian. So i'm not alienating other Armenians if they are not Armenian in the first place.

          Just when you were starting to talk a little less radically and a little more logically, you go right ahead and piss me off with a comment like that.
          What did you expect from a fascist?
          My logic has been quite reasonable and consistent thus far.

          Bari gisher.

            Well, this thread has certainly been very informative. At least I now know where that freak from the Armenian Aryan Party gets his votes from.

              We don't really get along with Armen. He and others like him are megalomaniacs who think everything good on this earth was invented by Armenians and every important historical figure was Armenian while making a complete mockery of actual Armenian history.
              They are also quite far from being Eurocentric...it's better than nothing though.

                      Tigranes, are you sure you are Armenian cuz for the past 10 posts you have been saying only negative things about Armenian culture... That's pretty disappointing to hear.
