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.

                What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

                    diar and che i say the same thing back to you... i NEVER brought up anything about soviet armenian anything.. YOU DID! for no reason, just to insult me...

                    I am very confused as to WHY after 12 pages you two still dont understand the only and the most simple point i have been trying to make... it BOGGLES MY MIND! I AM IN AWE at your inablity to understand that YOU were the ones who said armenians have soviet spelling not me and you insulted my laguange by saying it isnt authentic! guess what? it is! get over it!

                    - and all those websites were potlical...

                    #1: my POINT again, (i guess i did have to slow it down ONE MORE TIME for diar and che) has been about the WA and EA schools and what they teach, and how come i understand and every bit of WA but you dont... your teachers had to "translate" armenian into WA so that you could understand it, but we didnt... WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT THAT!?!? i have only had one thing to say, and that has been it... i have been swayed into other conversations because of you two, and i've had to defend my language because of you two... I WAS NOT!!!! the one who brought this up...

                    my dear che-ka apperantly you know exactly what you need... why dont you take your own advice and then come to me... i havent started this and i am not responsible for your actions... you are responsible for saying you started a "war" with me, you are responsible for making up some BS about how only the WA are the ones who are descendents from genocide survivors (AND THAT IS WHY you overclaim your armenianness) I NEVER SAID THAT! YOU DID!!! why are you so slow?

                    diar- #1 i never said anything bad about WA, UNTIL! that is you two started to talk about EA in that way... so i had to defend my language...
                    #2 if we were all "us" then you would never have made an EA person feel this way, in a way that makes me want to defend my country my language, etc... you begin all of this insanity (not you per se but more like che-ka and then you defended the inflamatory remarks and so you were put in the same category with her or him)...

                    i never divided WA from ARMENIANS you divided us into WA and EA... as if we are so different from each other, that we cannot belong to the same group...

                    I DIDNT!
                    YOU DID!

                      Another one that I thought of yesterday. You know how we add "ne" to verbs to replace the word "yerp" or "yerp vor" (when)? Like, "yerp verchasnes tasert, ayn aden grnas khaghal" becomes "tasert verchatsnesNE..."

                      So anyway, I realize we also add it to "che" -- as in, "chene." And we use it instead of "te voch." Like, "Ays shabiguh hakvim, te voch muisuh?" becomes "Ays shabiguh hakvim, chene muisuh?"

                      And my faaavorite is "chene che." lol Talk about redundant! haha

                      "Kovs goo kas, chene che??"

                      refer to my FIRST or SECOND POST! i wrote that A LONG TIME AGO!

                      - just goes to show that, you dont read MY posts...
                      (the thief think the world is a thief) that one is in english but it fits right up your ally, since you keep acusing me of not reading your posts, apperantly YOU believe that since you know very well that you dont read MY posts...
