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.

    You do realize that going to Armenia back and forth is nothing compared to millions of dollars collected right? Besides, it's not like he's going to Hawaii on a family vacation or something. I think the president of such organization has to visit the country and the construction work in person to make sure things are going as planned, and it won't be fair for him to pay for this trip from his own pocked, I mean think about it... the CEO or CFO or whatever of ANY organization go to different countries and cities for meetings and all, do they pay for it themselves? NO the company does. So I don't see your point.

      What a wonderful thread in which Armenians get together to peacefully and cordially agree on the issues.

        I'm not even going to get started on the second part of your reply, because that would be going off subject, but...

        I talked about unfounded stuff??? Are you trying to take the "reading into things" thing to a new level, or are you just illiterate? I ASKED A QUESTION, a simple, honest qustion. I DIDN'T MAKE A CLAIM! Big difference there, EEK! Jesus Christ, what is WITH you people???

        I agree, I don't see a problem with this.

I've had my eyes opened for quite some time now, thus the cynicism and why I'm naturally skeptical of everything. It was a perfectly legitamet question for someone that's not familiar with the organization, or what it's "done for Armenia" in the least bit. But instead of answering the question with decent info, once again, I make a simple comment, and people forcefully and ignorantly read more into it than what's there and go off an tangents about those false, ingnorant elucidations. If you are so ready to pounce on someone without thinking an analyzing, perhaps you are the ones with the issues.
          I agree with your criticism for the most part, and indeed some people like to be immune from criticism. Armenians historically, and even contemporary Armenians do not like criticism, and are immune from it.

          However, notice the part of your quote I have in bold? That indicates severe love thyself and this idea of being uber unique and special. Clearly no one is like you, you special crimson you.

              I think Manougian said she'd donate 1 million if it reached 10 million. So the total at the end came out to be $11,000,000.00.

              I was pretty drunk but I think we donated as well.

                  No Kirk has his own fund through which he sends money to Armenia every month, so he doesn't participate in anything else.

                      The Lincy fund has continuous projects in the earthquake zone.
