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.

Those who have been living in that area were so poor (90% of them) that they even couldn't do the smallest remodeling in their homes, and now they've got cool appartments. And talking about living in the center... C'mon guys, from every point in yerevan you can get to center in maximum 30 minutes... so let's not speak about it.
    If it was a ghetto then it was because it was allowed to become a ghetto. And it was allowed to become a ghetto so that it could be more easily demolished.
    You are half a century out of date in your thinking. Modern urban planning recognises that, in order to have a healthy urban environment, it is vital to have ordinary people living in the hearts of cities and not just commuting there from the suburbs.
    Plenipotentiary meow!

      Excellent commentary Vlad, its good to see that logic prevails amongst some members here. As we all know, Yerevan is going through a natural evolution that befalls all major cities worldwide. The modernization of Yerevan is essential for the development of turism and the economy.

      We Armenians are a weird bunch indeed:

      We want perfection, we want everything, and we want it NOW. And we are all pissed-off because we could not have it yesterday.

      No wonder we have been known as unruly throughout history.

      I for one am very glad that the slums are being torn down because I will need plenty of space in Yerevan to park my Hummer, and my BMW, the ones that Catman here says I own. Not to mention the Hummers and the BMWs of all my leather clad goon friends.

      Catman, please go and meoooooooooow elsewhere, your begining to stink up this place
      Մեր ժողովուրդն արանց հայրենասիրութեան այն է, ինչ որ մի մարմին' առանց հոգու:

          Crusader, I am so anxious to go to Yerevan some day! I just got back from Tbilisi two months ago, and I fell in love with it! I love Georgian food too.
