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.

Originally posted by karoaperPlease tell me you didn't see me living with 25 cats in your dream. I don't want that to actually take place, allthough I like the old man [probably senile] part.
Don't flatter yourself darling I just predicted your future hehehe.

Originally posted by karoaperok I think I misunderstood your comment. You're saying giving cutesy names in Armenian is less preferred than giving Armenian human names? I never know if you're being sarcastic and goofy (the way I get a lot) or you're being serious? If serious, I'd agree with Dants that I'd feel strange saying to my cat "Armine, ete mi ankam el shres ankoghnis vren, shan tsets ktam". Crap, now you all think I'm a loony who talks to his cats.

Originally posted by LadySilverHey....I talk to my cats....sometimes...
For the poster that had a problem with using "human" names, even though we know that most cats are pretty close to human:
How about Sylvester, Morris, Felix and Garfield?? I'm sure there are a lot more examples.

Originally posted by NemesisMost ALL cat people talk to their cats. In fact, the last cat I had tried desperately to talk back, he used to make these little noises and I knew he was trying to answer me when I talked to him.

I like Sylvester =) I was gonna name my cat that but I named something else that.

1- Do something with this fixation on the human vs pet/object name. Just for a short while! Thanks!
2- Read again my previous posts with an open mind and focus on what is said, instead of whether you agree or not. They are not that long. I'm not asking you to agree, simply hear me. Read them with a different focus!. Thanks.
In a nutshell, it's about replacing a loss with symbols! Maybe your Armenian Identity did not bleed enough to relate to what I'm trying to say!
Also, I agree with Nemesis; cats can be considered gracious and respectable creatures or beings! I know humans who are far less "honorable" and respectable than cats! In any case, that is not relevant to the point I was trying to make in my previous posts.Last edited by Siamanto; 08-17-2005, 05:05 PM.What if I find someone else when looking for you?
