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.

    Re: Who Here is from Canada?

    Yellowknife is cool.
    I was there a couple of years ago to redesign this magazine UpHere and the people were really friendly. I met some Armenian Diamond polishers and then did a story on CBC radio about how there's a growing population on Hayastansi going to live in Yellowknife. Sad_Eyes, Are you Hayastansi?

        Re: Who Here is from Canada?

        Ohhhh I read that artical, haig_armen. Some of them have very bad reputations here but others are thought of quite highly. Although, it was a very well written artical and I am pleased that you wrote about how the armenians here march with their flag in rememberance of the armenian genocide. That is VERY interesting that you have been here and met some of the greatest people I have ever had the privallege of knowing. No, I am not armenian. But, I embrace all armenians as my family. Such good people. Very hard working.

        //M- If you like to be involved in outdoor activities, Yellowknife is a great place to live. Its a small town, but it is surrounded by lakes and hikeing trails etc. There is a small beach (although everyone here reffers to it as the lake with sand, its a mere illusion to a "real" beach), a couple if bars/pubs, etc. which does contribute towards this towns problem of public drunkness, a theatre, etc. If you like small cities than Yellowknife is a good place. But it has its downsides as well. Everyone knows everyone. You can pass by the same individal on the street at least 4 times a day. Word gets around here quickly as well. Its a quiet place but can get a little rowdy at times. It is also a VERY multi-cultural place. We have the asians, the armenians, the germans, the french, the phillipinos, the ukranians, the greeks, the russians, albanians, native americans, mexicans, etc. Which I think helps contribute to this cities quiet beauty. We also have the northern lights, which every year we have alot of Japanese tourists come here. They travel from Japan to stay here for three nights at a time (sometimes more) usually at the coldest time of the year, January-Feburary where it can reach to -40 to -50 degrees celcius to sit out on a frozen lake and look at the northern lights. Which to be honest, after 16 years of living here still leave me in aw.

          Haha, I live in Yellowknife and am not here for work. Yes, the money is insanely good up here, thus the reason so many people move here to work. And here in the summer we have literally 23 hours of sunlight and in the winter about 3. Its an odd place, but it is beautiful. Especially if you love the outdoors. Its a small town, and although I was born and raised half of my live in B.C, Yellowknife is home to me.
          It sounds very far away and rather romantic, Rachel
          But I've got a suspicion it probably isn't, and is a physically ugly place and with all those ethnic communities you mentioned at each others throat if given the chance or the alchoholic release. I don't see anything attractive in "multiculturalism" anyway (since I don't see anything attractive about a lie).
          I wasn't very struck with Montreal, from what I saw of it on a brief visit I made there last year. Or Ontario also. Actually the only place I really liked was Kars, which was gorgeous (and ethnically very British). Yes there is a Kars in Canada! And I had to see it!
          When the oil runs out - they are all going to freeze in Montreal. It'll be so much more true in places like Yellowknife.
          Plenipotentiary meow!

            Canada is awesome. Vancouver is one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited. I was also shocked to see so many Armenians in Toronto and Montreal. It's just a little too cold for my blood.

                  I was born in Campbell River, B.C.(its on the island as well)I Lived there until I was a wee girl and moved here to Yellowknife with my family, obviously. But I have such fond memories of it. I was there a few years ago and spent some time at the ocean where my siblings and I would always be. I loved it then and I love it now.
