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.

  • Fast For Armenia

    Fast for Armenia


    Visit our website to purchase our "Remember the Forgotten" wristbands, to learn about the projects we support, and to volunteer. Join the thousands who will fast on April 24th for the children of Armenia.

    This year, in commemoration of the 90th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, the Armenian Students’ Association of Harvard University along with universities throughout the nation will be contributing to Fast for Armenia (FFA) – an international charity organization begun a year ago that not only recognizes and pays tribute to the victims of the Genocide, but also promotes a brighter future for Armenia.

    The principle is simple but powerful: each year, FFA calls for an international, day-long fast on April 24th, Armenian Genocide Commemoration Day. Participants are asked to donate whatever money they would have spent on food that day to designated Armenian charities selected by FFA. Your one day’s food provides a child in Armenia textbooks for one year.

    In its first year last year, FFA raised $5000 in just two weeks, and chose to forward its proceeds to the Children of Armenia Fund. These proceeds were able to buy each student of an entire village textbooks for the whole year. This year, the executive board of FFA will again survey a list of nonprofit organizations that dedicate themselves to the principles upheld by Fast for Armenia, and will choose amongst them after careful consideration and thought.

    In addition, the Armenian Engineers and Scientists of America (AESA), an IRS registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has kindly accepted to manage the accounting of FFA at a very low overhead cost, and with many benefits including quarterly reports, tax deductible receipts to donors, and financial advice. Through AESA, you can be rest assured that every donated dollar will reach Armenian classrooms.

    If possible please put a link to www.fastforarmenia.org on your website! Here, people will be able to donate and also purchase "Remember the Forgotten" wristbands (like the Livestrong ones) that are red, blue, and orange. You will be able to purchase wristbands and make donations through the website. Thank you and please feel free to contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions.

    Best,
