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.

    Here it is again, with way more natural processing. The distortion is more than I can correct for without having to crop the structure or do some heavy photoshopping to copy background.

      As a tourist in Armenia is it possible to visit a shooting range or do you have to deal with a lot of paperwork?

        Paperwork? What's that? I went to a shooting range in Armenia and they didn't even ask anything. Even gave us a discount because it was our first time.

              A few years ago, I was invited to a shooting range, can't remember exactly where it was, somewhere in the edges of Yerevan. We Shot at the outdoor trap range with a shotgun. Shot a Makarov pistol and a precision 22cal in their indoor range. They also had a nice restaurant where we had Khorovadz to finish everything off.
              It was all nicely organized. A professonial and friendly range officier was guiding and helping us all the time. Prices were very reasonable. The Khorovadz was good too.
              No paperwork, no signature, no red-tape at all. A very friendly and relaxing atmosphere indeed.

                  Now ive done my first trip to Armenia many impressions don't even know what to write, one thing i came to think about now when ive been "home" for a while when I arrived in Armenia at the airport since im not a citizen i had to fill out the Visa stuff and i had to pay and I asked if i could pay with Euro and that was fine the price was 32 euro but i only had 20 euro bills so i gave the lady two 20 euro bills and she told me that she can't give me back change for it and i didnt think much of that i just wanted to get into Armenia so I let her have it its not like i wont survive without the 8 euro. But now when i think about it I kinda got "hustled" before i could ever set my foot on armenian soil.

                  Sometimes i felt at home I felt look i really do have a homeland I have a people this is my mountain my river my church which is a feeling i never have had before.
                  I found myself walking around in Yerevan thinking "holy xxxx i am in my homeland" because until now Armenia was this holy land ive only been told about in stories
                  And sometimes I wanted nothing but to leave this place and I dont understand why.

                    exactly how I felt the first time, you're not alone here. I'd say Armenia is a beautiful place, a special place for armenians, but not all armenians can live there.
