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.

    3 what? i'm not sure what you refer to

    if you're referring to the colors of the wristbands, they also come in all black.

      All the wristbands that say "remember the forgotten" on them are ordered by the Stanford Armenian Students Assoc. and spread around the US to be sold for our Fast for Armenia org.


      However, this organization is still very new and we havent really spread outside of the US and Canada. (but i'm going to try to see if we can ship the wristbands outside of the country.) I'll let you know.

      Ok, for the international people, yes if you order from the website we would ship it (it might cost a little more).

        I realized that a lot of the orders came from people on different forums I advertised on. So this is kind of cool.

        I mean, I dont know. Even if you're against the whole wristband thing, just think of it as a donation. Also, if you dontate without requesting wristbands, the donation is tax deductible.

        So please guys, just think. $10 dollars will support one student there for a whole year (as far as textbooks go). That's like one trip to starbucks for us.

        last year when we started this, it was on a really small scale but we were able to provide a few schools with books and the kids were so happy and sent us pictures and stuff. they sit 3 to a desk, it's so sad if you think about it. so help out.

          I think I am going to end up with 5 wrist bands on each arm. I guess my bf will wear one too, so that leaves about 9 for me. Too bad they won't get here until after April 24. I remember whe we went to Armenia and made a donation to the school we visited, just so the kids could have necessities thhat we take for granted every single day. I swear we fell in love with those kids, they were so wonderful and smart and funny and just so happy with everything they had, little as it was. I'm glad you guys are doing this. Every day something that people my age are doing to help other Armenians in Armenia and around the world just makes me feel so much pride (even more than I already have) to be Armenian and to see that we're not all just talk, but action as well. Thanks for that.

            i totally agree and feel the same way. i mean, we have all of these armenian fundraisers we see on tv. but i dont trust a lot of them. being a part of this one makes me proud because i know where the money is going and how much these kids need it. i mean, if all goes well, the next step for me is to try to get kids to apply to universities in the US directly from Armenia. but i guess we gotta start somewhere and so far this is the best way.


            also, i know that the 10 wristband minimum may be a hastle, but we figured people could just get them and give them out to friends or something.

                  Better check with your shipping company too, deb. I work for a company that does a lot of mail orders all over the world, and there are many countries we can't ship to through UPS/FedEx, etc (due to there almost being a guarantee of it being stolen/damaged/lost), and I think Lebanon is one of them.

                  Oh, and watch what you say about those fund raisers! I brought up the same questions, and got bombarded with remarks like "if you don't want to donate, just say so. Don't make excuses". Brilliant! You freaking tools of the conartist.

                      Ummm....odd problem while ordering. While I was in the middle of checkout, I see my little window thingy pop up to alert me of an e-mail. It was for a receipt from Fast For Armenia. =| But....I hadn't purchased it, yet. I went ahead and finished up the transaction, anyway. I got a receipt from PayPal, but haven't gotten another Fast For Armenia e-mail confirming the order went through. What the holy shnikes happened?
