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.

                No, I'm not kidding. I don't care what anybody does. You are bound by the rules of this forum under any and all circumstances. Let that be perfectly clear. This applies to everyone. This poster has been dealt with and future posters like him will continue to be dealt with.

                  louseyourname - I respect that you have done a good job as a moderator on this forum - however I have to object again to my being given a warning for deservedly calling that pig a pig. As you are not Armenian you do not feel the insult nor do you feel or understand the depth of our pain. About the worst thing one can say or do is to insult and defame our families while claiming friendship and openess but likewise claiming that Armenians (as a people) are intolerant, hateful and narrowminded and then blaming Armenians for the ills that befell them. This is why I reacted such as I did to Rookiedenier who began by posting his seemingly honest desire to come here and learn when in fact his mind was quite made up and he was full of accusations and untruths concerning Armenians. You cannot understand how great an insult this is to us. I could kill such a person without compunction as they represent the worst of filth IMO. So I can not be expected to be civil. Armenians would understand this. turdyfruit denier is likewise scum - though perhaps more inocuous and just idiotic. Still when he comes with grave insults and afronts - such as wishing more genocide upon us and such - and then plays at being friendly - interested in our personal details and such - well that is going quite too far. I care not if he is banned or not - but if he remains here and posts the same garbage I will react to him as he deserves. Likewise to others who insult us in this way. I am all for diologue and discussions of issues - I am all for understanding from another's perspective - but they have come into our house and are attacking our families - (those who act thus) - they deserve no respect and will be given none.

                    Why does every Armenian name end with "AN" or "YAN" or something like that? Does it mean anything special? Thanks.

                    clearification is needed here - it never ends in "an" that may seem this way since it sounds like it does...

                    For ~3,000 years of civilization and bearing these last names Armenian last names have always end with the following:
                    - ian/yan - (general public - it means belonging to; usually the trade, or town for which the people are from)
                    - iants/yants - Armenian generals, heads of state (for the exception of Mamikonian whose family was the leader of the Armenian military for several generations, WAY before even any type of *urkish tribe ever existed)
                    - uni - The Armenian aristocracy (i.e. Bagratuni, etc..)
                    (-kan, -tsi - not sure what type)

                    due to the systematic murder of our aristocracy, heads of state, educators, and relgious figures by the *urkish government starting in the late 1870s all the way to the most horrible years 1910s and 1920s has resulted in only -ian/yan last named people.

                    also - there are some who still have those last names and thats because of either of two things 1) actual survivors of heads of state or 2) families who felt that they had to change their last name to honor those heads of state who were maryrs in the genocide.
