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.

    Posts like that just illustrate how you can't take a joke. By the way, I don't post on stormfront. I do post on sherdog.

            Thank you. I have never been to an Armenian anything and am so happy to have a frame of reference. I'm going out right after posting this to rent "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Any books, articles or films...anything that will give me a clue about Armenian culture/identity is so welcome!
            Shoshan, watching a movie about Greeks in America, made by Americans, is really not the best way to learn about Armenian culture

            Films - there's some nice ones, if you like arts and stuff like that, you can try Parajanov's films. Like "The Color of Pomegranates ", it's available on Amazon. Try searching "Armenian" on Amazon, it will bring some nice stuff (hopefully).

            Sorry everyone for offtopic, I was trying to be helpful

She said that she has spoken to linguists, and they agreed.

              Am I the only one who thinks that this is balogna??? None of my research has ever suggested that Armenian and Hebrew have the same origin. Hebrew - Semitic group Armenian - Indo-European group....no same source
              Armenian does have very old borrowings from semitic languages, from Aramaic too. Words like "shuka" for market, "targmanich" for translator, and some others I can't really remember now. But they are certainly not related languages.

              And Armenians are certainly not Jews Although once in a while you see some striking similarities

                    If you are to insist and defend judaism so much i guess there are some simliarites between jews and armenians im sad to say.


                    If u should listen to the jews...then israel too was always jewish from the begninng.

                    Have i yunderstood it wrongly or is judism not infact the complete opposite to christianity , if you loook at the Old and New testamente History cannot justify anything, and certainly it cant justify how they are treating people today ,palestians first of all, and their racist ways.
                    Besides if you'd ask a jew he would never be on the side of an armenians no matter what.. in the conflict with Turkey or in karabahk...
                    that you fail to see how the sionist and religios jews defend this acts of crimes in Israel and the their politics against Armenia and you as an "armenian" are to defent the jews. I am sorry for you.

                      i am sorry to disappoint you but armenian language has nothing in common with hebrew. and, actually it has nothing in commom (i dont mean separate words, which come to the language through trade, during envesions, etc.) with any language out there. eg: russian has several brunches(ukranian, slovakian, chekh, belorussian, polish etc.), so a person who speaks one can understand the other ones.
