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.

    Who uses the term "Aryan" anymore? Back in the day when Europeans wanted to believe in their make belief story that their ancestrial master race came from the Himalayas, they'd associate Indo-Europeans with Aryans...

    Today however, all we can do with the issue of Aryans is say, "They once existed, they rode on their mighty chariots and migrated eastward, all the way to Northern India". Not all Indo-Europeans migrated with the Aryans, why should the terms be interchangeable?

          Why shouldn't they be interchangeable? They denote the same thing. And it remains that Armenian belongs to that language group.

            There is no dispute that Vedic Sanksrit is an Indo-European language. The question is how it got there. The Aryan invasion is the most plausible explanation. You are free to believe otherwise.

              But not all Indo-Europeans took the path of migration and "conquest" that the Aryans took.

              The only case of Indo-Aryans deviating from the common migration eastwards were the rulers of Mitanni, who imposed their caste system on a much larger indigenous non-Indo-European speaking population located roughly in modern day Syria and Lebanon.

              The Aryans began migrating out of the PIE homeland at roughly 3000BC, according to the articles I've seen from Armenian which are highly plausible with the logic I now share with him. Migrations out of the homeland prior to this time aren't really considered as part of the Aryan migrations. An example would be the migration to the Pontic Steppe, from which the northern Indo-Europeans sprouted out from afterwards. A second "homeland" which evolved somewhat independantly from the original in the Armenian Plateau, and is denoted by the Kurgan cultures, the original domestication of the horse (thought to have occured at roughly 4000BC), and the later adoption of the Indo-Iranian pottery styles.

              The reciprocity of cultural traditions between these two homelands (via the region east of the Caspian) was crucial in providing the Aryans settled in the Armenian Plateau the technology and culture they needed to make their expanse eastwards.

              All of this is in theory of course, I won't deny it. Still, I find it important to share this angle of mine, in hopes of making distinctions for which Indo-Europeans were Aryan and which were not.

                However, you missed the essential point of mine that Armenian is an Aryan language and prior to the era of political correctness, it was a commonly held belief that Aryan and Indo-European were indeed interchangeable. That is the way it goes, I cannot change it.

                      "I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-Iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects." – J. R. R. Tolkien, responding to a German publisher who was inquiring about the possibility of printing a German translation of The Hobbit
