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: The Quality/Progressive Armenian Music Thread

    Well....I was hoping to be able to update the original post as members introduce new bands, so we could have it all in one place, but this forum doesn't allow you to edit after a certain amount of time. So, as much as I hate doing it this way (I find it gets very messy), I guess we'll just have to keep adding on.



    Rosy Armen

    Rosy was a stunning looking French Armenian singer with a phenomenal voice, as you'll see in the 1st video below. And as you'll see in the second video, she's maintained it quite well even in her golden years. However, finding her music is rather difficult, as I don't believe anything of hers was ever released on CD, unfortunately. You'll have to dig around to find her albums on vinyl, but it's well worth it if you do.

    Hasmik Leyloyan

    This is Kanun mastery. Classic folk sounding music that's been jazzed up a bit, but the Kanun echoes loudly with its ancient Armenian sound, and she is a virtuoso at playing it. Just effortless. She's won several international awards for her play. There are actually quite a few of her videos on YouTube, but I will just post a couple. I trust you can find the rest from there.

    It appears that the domain name to her official site expired just days ago, but I will leave it up here in case it comes back up

        Hello Folks,
        Could anybody please translate the lyrics of the song "Hasrsanekan" sang by Arshakyans for me? The link is provided above by Crimson.
        I need the translation for a friend of mine who particularly liked this song of Arshakyans.
        Thanks in advance.

          Sorry for digressing from the topic, but I wonder if Armenians use the word "menengiç" or know what it is?

            Haven't heard of that term.
            Maybe you're saying it wrong?

                  "All truth passes through three stages:
                  First, it is ridiculed;
                  Second, it is violently opposed; and
                  Third, it is accepted as self-evident."
