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.

    Another one on the genocide:

    By Now

    By Diana Der-Hovanessian
    for the 90th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide


    By now we should have finished grieving.
    By now we should have found some peace.
    By now there should have been atonement and the pain slightly eased.
    By now witnesses are almost gone.
    And the lies about our bones believed.
    By now they thought we would be forgotten.
    and our blood dried to dust and blown.
    By now they thought the smoke and fire
    would be either greened or stone.
    By now they thought our stolen children would have all turned into Turks.
    By now they thought the aid money
    sent back to America would do its work
    in changing truth to lies:
    that we were never here alive.
    By now they thought the last survivors
    and their children would be in graves.
    They didn't count on our children's children even angrier, and more outraged.

                Wow... I never really knew the words to the Armenian national anthem past the first verse.

                I feel so bad now.

                But damn... such beautiful words.

                    I'm trying to find the lyrics to "Ayppenaran" and "Dzaghgatsor." Love those!

                    Until then, one of my favorites.

                    Kedashen is a historic region of Karabagh. Literally, made of rivers. I'm not sure if it is within the current borders of NKR.

                    "Kedashen"
                    -- Kakig Ghazarian

                    Pazmel es lernerin, oones hazar shen,
                    Ardzivneri pouin es, chknagh Kedashen,
                    Parparos tsegherin antatar santsogh,
                    Too kacheri orran, eem kach Kedashen

                    Grgnerk (chorus):
                    Chors goghmud antoont eh, djampegud pagvadz,
                    Yergnkoum sev oo mout amber goudagvadz,
                    Goghkid haygagan shenern en lkvadz,
                    Too gas oo guh mnas, haverj Kedashen.

                    Chahel dgherk too kich oonis Kedashen,
                    Payts dzerert el voch panov bagas chen,
                    Amen mee gin mee Fidayi dnashen,
                    Kez haghtel chi ini, eem kach Kedashen.

                    *Grgnerk*

                    Too bidi timanas ou gankoun mnas,
                    Hagarag tshnamoun bidi shenanas,
                    Mayr Hayasdanin bidi miyanas,
                    Artsakhi tarbasn es, amrots Kedashen.
