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.

      Before I arrive home, I smell the cooking of my mum. I get in, and get changed out of my school uniform, wash my hands. She asks me if I'm hungry, if no, I eat 10 minutes later, if yes, she puts on the table for me; whatever I'm having, cheese, marinated pickles, salad, something to drink, and bread.

      When my dad gets home, we eat, again, together.

      On holidays and hot days; my dad cuts up watermelon, and fruits. We eat on the coffee table.

      ...that's the cooking aspect.

        yeah i refused to drink armenian coffee for so long. Then i had my first one a couple months ago , and the second i drank it i could feel the caffeine go straight to my brain. After that it wasnt the same, so now i just drink one probably once a week or so, i play games and im a little bit faster w/ shooting people.

            You're a funny little Asian-loving guy, aren't you?

            I've been laughing at your posts more and more lately.



            And oh yea, coffee is bad, baaaaaaaaaad I tell you!

            I was cracking up at the peeled fruits "custom", haha. I had no idea it was so common among Armenians. In fact, I'm eating a bowl of fruits that my grandma gave me RIGHT NOW.

              Ah, you see the things Baron Dants does for you guys!

              The way I found out that it was so common for Armenians was this:

              I was chatting with a Morrocan friend and I told her I had to go eat the fruits my dad had peeled. And she said something like "why would your dad do that?", and I had an epiphany! So I asked all my Armenian friends if they had the same thing going on at their house, and the results were overwhelming!

                  When I get home from work, depending on my moms schedule, she's either in the kitchen cooking dinner or at work...and my dad is most probably watching some various game of sports in the living room, and my little sister is doing homework in her room....If my mom's at work, it's either leftovers or take out. And if by some miracle we're all home at the same, we'll have dinner where we will regale each other with stories of our day...and afterwards everyone will go off to their little corner of the house...towards the end of the night, my dad will want tea or coffee (both of which I despise) and my mom will bring out the fruit (which I don't eat) At this point, I'm either not home...or I'm up in my room either reading or on the computer.

                    WOW..my mom does the same thing. We always have fruit in the house.. all kinds of fruit depending on the season. I once spent a week from home and thought I would die because the people I stayed with had practically no fruit in their kitchen. I never thought of this as an Armenian thing, I just thought my mom wanted us to be healthy and eat lots of fruit.
