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.

    the group Zulal (the ladies from Boston) in their rendition of Zinch oo Zinch Dam, the last 2 lines say " Ham ara, ham havnets......... ham hani dzamgal goven" meaning "I both liked it and took it...... and I'll finaly fetch the barrette from the sea"

    coma coma yeeh! zinch oo zinch dam loghvortin... la la la la!

        You must by far be one of the most obnoxious posters I have ever encountered. Congratulations!




        That is still not sufficient proof by the way, but whatever...

        • I'm very happy that you love Armenian. Nevertheless, you proved nothing. Well, except that you indeed are the most obnoxious person I hope never to meet.

          You don't suppose that rural, pre-Genocide Armenian folk songs included...*gasp*...Turkish words, do you?!

          BTW, I proudly own the Zulal CD and I noticed the "ham" months ago.

          • It's like Tumanian using "hongur hongur" in his text for Anush.

            Comment


            • Silly Baron. Armenian literature and music is devoid of foreign influence. Every word in Armenian literature and music MUST be Armenian. Besides, didn't you know "hongur" means "where is my eyebrow?" Armenian?! Apparently, you don't know Armenian at all.

                • LOL! i am so happy to be on your super list diar dants...
                  and you too che-ka... i hope i never meet people as ignorant and as ridiculas as you...

                  ham kech haskanum mer mayreni lezun, ham el chek uzum suvorel... dzez tsankanum em miayn mi ban, vor yerb vor azdvats ir yereseh yet dartsni depi dzez vor anaknkal ch'linek ays norutsyunnerits"

                  and you are so special for owning that CD... surprise i do too... lol! no i dont think that rural armenian songs have turkish words... actually MOST likely it is those who had the opportunity to go out side of the country and into the cities where they would have to learn another language... there is an old "arrat" (i.e. saying) about a man who never learned another language and one day another man somehow got into this village and he was from europe, so he wanted to get help from these armenian rural, villagers, and he spoke so many language, (except armenian) and the villager couldnt understand any of the languages... and so the lost man gave up and left, then the wife came out of the house and said "Yes vor kez asumey, goneh mi lezu sovori, mi or petk k'ga, indz ch'lesetsir" and the husband replyed "etkan lezu inke giter, iran petk eghav?" lol! and this is said as a reminder about how the rural Armenians didnt know any other lanuage accept armenian, it was those city folks who spoke other languages...

                  and unlike you (diar and che-ka) i dont have such a list for armenians... i love them all...

                  • Baron Pear: Oh that's alright. I bet you went to a "western" Armenian school. If so, I'm not surprised by your ignorance.
