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.

  • Thanks Dants. You honestly just brightened an otherwise depressing day for me. I appreciate your comments. (I must admit though, my favorite part was 'Armenian linguist' lol)

    I recently looked into the adoption laws of Armenia. For several months, I had been telling my friends that I want to adopt an orphan from Armenia in 10 years or so; it would be my single most important mission in life. So I thought I'd better look into the process now. Well, my dreams were shattered in an instant. While the Republic gives great deference to prospective adoptive parents who are "azkov hay" and live in or near Diaspora communities -- yay for me -- it also denies adoptions to single males. There that goes.

    On another note, dzo toon oor bahvuder es?? I feel like I'm the only one holding down the gor-gor fort over here...

    • Yes oor bahvder em? Indzi toors nedetsin! Ok ok, yes bahanchetsi vor indzi toors neden. Yergar parag badmootyoon...inch vor e..

      Don't expect any openness from Armenia on this issue. Faaaaaaaaar from it. People get accused of being gay for wearing blue shirts (I definitely stood out with my bright red and orange t-shirts , I tend to dress like a Canadian hiker in the summer) ! But eh, it's all part of a process. A long, rocky process. Until then, you can probably find some loophole against that law.

      • Ka bedk e soorji kam or muh, as yergar parag badmootyoonuh badmeloot aritov.

        Oh I know all about the anti-gay sentiment in Armenia. I just thought I could get around it by not...looking gay. lol But they won't let any single men adopt, so...I'm outta luck! Red and orange shirts?! Forget being gay, you're lucky they didn't think you were a woman! Black. All black. I wonder what they'll think about my hair (it's a spikey fauxhawk) when I visit this summer. eeek. lol

        omg, go read my last post in the "what are you listening to? (armenian)" -- you're gonna be so happy for me. lol After you read that post, read the following:
        She even uses "zis" in the song!!!!!!!!! And "hampouyr muh" instead of "mi hampouyr" and about 20 "guh" verbs!!!! lol Laluhs bidi kar...Asor namag krelik muh oonim...
