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: Half Armenians

    As I see it, Armenians that live in Los Angeles lets say dress & act like there "wanna be" african americans. So in reality alot of people that I have run into say there Armenian when you ask them in private but in public when there with there friends they want to be another race... (look at the teenagers these days) & if you think about it people that live in America have to call themselves American/Armenian. (How many teenagers/adults you hear speak Armenian, the major language is English).
    If your going to be an aholic, why dont you be a Hye one?

      Re: Half Armenians

      Im Armenian from Westchester NY, I grew up being the only non armenian, knew nothing about armenians. had a friend in college from LA who invited me out there. I told him im Armenian and his jaw dropped, told me i dont look and act Armenian at all. He lived near Glendale, he took me there and it was sad to see my race acting like a bunch of hoodlums, wanna be african americans. Then I understood why he said that to me..
      Its really ashame that the new generation of Armenians ruined the reputation of Armenian Americans. All the Armenians who came to America after the genocide were regarded in high respect and they built their careers, their sons and daughters educated themselves and have good jobs, their grandchildren also educated themselves and became successful, I am the grandchild of a genocide survivor who came to America in 1915.
      Sorry but the Armenians who came her in the 80s, 90s, and now have ruined Armenians reputation. People think of Armenians now and they think of them as gangsta, wanna be thugs, who sell drugs, live on welfare, and deny being white as well.
      Just the truth.

        Re: Half Armenians

        It is primarily due to the poor discipline and education you receive from your MaMas…

        Bullies, thugs and hoodlums exist elsewhere as well as among Armenians but it's got absolutely nothing to do with me not being proud of my heritage.

          But the people in LA think different about Armenians

                As much as I agree with you, I also disagree.

                Yes there are bunch of idiots, but also bunch of smart ones. And usually all you see the idiots out on streets.

                  That makes them xxxish, not Armenian. It's a socially constructed identity.
