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.

    She said 4 groups of people made up the Ancient Greek population and one was Armenian. I have no clue how she could turn what you said into that if she has a brain lol

    I guess I will be able to find out as I get my degree, but I am curious if there is a good place to learn online right now.

      The whole area between Ancient Greece and Ancient Armenia (which is now Turkey) was inhabited by Greek-like and Armenian-like people, you know all those Lydians, Cappadocians, etc, it was sort of a "gradient" from more Greek on the West to more Armenian on the East. At least that's how I see it I don't think there were any strict borders of what was called ancient Greece, after all it was a bunch of city states with a more or less Greek culture, reaching as far as Ukraine and Georgian coasts...

        Perhaps - though I think you might be mixing timelines here - where Lydians and such were more ancient and Cappadocians more recent (and normally thought to be ethnically and culturally - more or less - Greek...

          Yeah I'm talking of a large period of time, pretty much the last millenium BC plus a few centuries AD. Before our lovely neighbors arrived

          And I don't remember all the nations, but some were more Armenian and some more Greek in that area. Sophenes, Pontics, Galatians, God knows what else...

          I suppose they are all melted in turks now.

            Poor them

            There is an undoubtable similarity between the current Greeks and Armenians even. Its pretty clear that we are tied historically, I just did not know the details.

            Where did the Georgians come from in all of this?

              Georgians have always been there Right after the pre-humans migrated from Africa they settled in Georgia and refuse to move anywhere up to this day

              Seriously, I think there are theories connecting Georgians with the pre-Indo-European civilizations existing in Europe, the only remain of which being Basques right now.

                Interesting...I have heard that Georgians are the true "Caucasian" people as in...they are the ones who originated in the Caucusus.

                I even heard that the reason the word Caucasian has come to be used to widely is because a German Anthropologist/Sociologist decided that Georgians had the most beautiful skull and that all whites should be named after them...or something...

                I havent done any serious research on these things though, what do you guys think?

                  Yes the Georgians are indeed an enigma - though I have to think we are closely related even though the language is certainly much different...though I've been shot down for suggesting our closeness before - so perhaps we aren't - I really don't know.

                  Basques are also a fascinating people. We have some Basque friends whom I like to refer to as our (Armenian) cousins. They look much like us - hair, face (nose!), builds etc - and have some similar traditions and perhaps even foods (I can't recall any at the moment though)...I have long thought (and I have read some things suggesting) that there might be a possible link. Again though - I really don't have any proof or such...and I think no one really knows.

                    That's cool I didn't know we look like them too yes I heard there are theories connecting them with Georgians and maybe Armenians, but they are largely disputed and not accepted in Europe...

                      I find the use of word "Caucasian" ridiculous. Especially by Americans and Asians, they use it to mean "northern Euro look". Russians use it for exactly opposite - meaning dark skin, big nose, thick eyebrows (see my avatar ).
