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.

    Actually, two were born in Lebanon. The singer and the drummer.

    One was born in Armenia. The guy with the shaved head and narrow-long beard.

    The other one that wears women clothing and is really messed up with drugs is born in the US.

    True that they are American citizens and influenced, but I was born here and influenced as well, doesn't mean I do drugs.

    They all do drugs, this is typical.

    But seriously, the only people they really learned the story of the genocide are those rocker, goth, and so-called anarchist type people. I don't find them very useful, rather embarrassing.

    I wish there were more Armenian actor-like celebrities that would help in a more classy manner.
    Firstly, I thank you for refering to them by their descriptions & not their names as I only know the names of the two born in Lebanon (and the vocalist being vegetarian -- NO KHEMA!!! That's just WRONG!!). Isn't Shavo the one with red hair & green eyes (at least he looks that way in the pics). And the one who wears the Egyptian eye make-up. Does he LOOK Armenian? He jsut doesn't look Armenian to me. He's involved in the Occult (or, "fascinated" by it, I have read...minus the spelling error if there is one).

    I didn't mean to imply that those raised in America do drugs, but, what I was saying is...asking, really, do they ACT more American or Armenian?

    Who is "They all"? SOAD or rockers in general?

    I'm glad you said this, actually. I want to like them less for these reasons, but, being as they ARE Armenian and I feel that there are so very few of us that to speak out against anybody who has made it big would be almost traitor-ish, in a way.

      My aunt is friends with Shavo's parents. They're pretty close, apparently.

        It's hard to remember names but you can't forget descriptions of these guys

        Fortunately they moved past this look:

        Срок регистрации домена истек. Требуется продление, чтобы возобновить работу домена и его сервисов


        To a more reasonable image. http://www.bmgnews.de/PARI/KAT/DOCU0...16823I4880.jpg

        No, the one that wears weird eye shadow and makup is Daron. Shavo (long beard) is the bassit I believe.

        In my opinion, I think they act more American than Armenian. They just happen to be Armenian who promote the Armenian Genocide.

        Although I am also interested to find out how they are perceived in Armenia. Anyone know? Anyone from Armenia here?

        Also, I am not saying these things to make Armenians dislike them. It's okay to like them and their music, I just find them not the best for promoting Armenian issues. Also they aren't good role models for young Armenians.


        Edit: I didn't mean they promote the Armenian Genocide (that sounded bad), I meant they try to raise awareness.

                ^ Yeah, I just read an article in the paper. They've been talking to Congress, trying to get them to recognize the Genocide. Good move. Maybe that's why they canceled their concert this year.

                      No, I know. But, this is something the articles keep stressing so just in case anybody was curious, I decided to ephasize this as well.
