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: Adopting children from Armenia

    An online friend showed me the pics of her and...I don't know...either relatives or friends giving the kids at the orphanage toys. She also told me that she gave this one kid, like a million pieces of candy, and this one kid just kept eating it, because he was hungry... AND, if a child was offered a second toy, they would just simply say, "No thank you, I already have one."

    As for the question, I have thought about it...but, then it's like, well, I need to get married...to an Armenian man first...not planning on doing that for a while... But, yeah, it's something I would possibly do if my husband was up for it.

      Some people who don't have any means of living, keep having babies and giving them away. While some who can afford living, don't have their own child. In general.

      And that i will never understand...both side need to use some NOT so common sence.

            As for adopting, I heard they have made it harder to adopt kids from Armenia, but should be looking into it, as it is something I'd really like to do. In the meantime, for my birthday I have asked my parents not to buy anything and instead we are sponsoring a child in Armenia.

            Bravo Crissy! I appreciate your spirit.

                  Re: Adopting children from Armenia

                  I really would want to do something like that, but I can't see myself raising a kid that isn't mine. I don't mean that in a bad way at all. For me, adoption doesn't seem right. I don't know why. You never know, though.

                  My parents were going to adopt a kid after the earthquake in Armenia and almost did. Weird, because I was still a baby. And I'd have grown up with him/her, and it would feel like we were blood related.

                      Some organizations are ok, but yea agree with you, no way of knowing which ones actually take the money to those in need. I mean after the earthquake, there were so many things such as clothing, food etc sent for the victims, and people who were not even effected by the earthquake got what they wanted and left what little was left over to those that actually needed it.

                      Definitely sponsoring a child is the best way to help someone in need.
