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.

    Originally posted by fstkhnan yeah the grammys was really cool, except for the fact that they just raised beyonce waaaaaaaaay up there....I mean come on, yeah she did deserve couple awards, but not freakin five of em.....like megu me yete ver bidi hanen shaaad ge hanen gor....I guess she's got some Jew background in her, or she's a Jew somehow......lol
    first of all, let me say that i am completely disgusted with where the music industry is at these days. i am a music student in university, i live & breathe music, constantly. i pay attention to what pitch the sound of a squeaking door hinge makes or that a chair makes when its being dragged on the ground. in an average day, i spend 8-9 hours actively thinking about music. whether it be playing it, writing it, composing it, arranging it, studying it, or just going off into reflections about all kinds of musical concepts while walking down the street, sitting in the bus, or lying in bed before falling asleep. so u can imagine how much today's music industry disgusts me. because ppl like britney spears ("hihi! whats a note?") are making millions of dollars showing off 97% of her body & letting us imagine the other 3% (which is not that hard... considering its not always the same 3% that she doesnt show us) meanwhile, im gonna graduate with a degree in music & probably end up making less money than most bus drivers... its a beautiful life, isnt it?

    now although musical preferences are very subjective, we have to take into consideration a musician's musicality: how much "music" does this person emit? now not everybody loves beethoven, but anybody with a brain would agree that the dude was a f*ckin ridiculous genius, prodigy, and there will never ever be another one like him. he wrote like half his works after going deaf, like what the fcuk...

    these days we must come to a realization that musical greatness and recognition for musical greatness are 2 things that do NOT go hand in hand. the reason being that the general public's idea of musical greatness, always channelled & filtered thru media, is physical hotness, breast size, shocking lyrics and so on & so forth..... if somebody possesses all of the listed qualities, they are considered a maker of great music. meanwhile, herbie h a n c o c k is doing infomercials on TV... herbie, who played with the great miles davis quintet in the 1960s, a group which completely revolutionized modern music literally five or six times over... herbie, who had a more profound understanding of music at the age of 9 than EVERYBODY who stepped foot on the stage at the grammys this year COMBINED & that is NOT an exaggeration. (except for chick corea, of course)

    however, returning to the subject of Beyoncé Knowles. speaking of technical mastery of one's instrument, she's got one HAPPENING set of vocal cords & that is not arguable. you may not like her songs, its not exactly the kind of stuff i listen to either, out of a number in the thousands of songs in my mp3 list, i have only one of hers. but there is no question that she is technically one of the strongest singers in pop music today. i dont know who she was nominated against, but i cant think of anybody right now who comes close to her singing. im glad that people like her & outkast are getting recognition because they actually make music. neither one of them are really what i listen to so much, but i'd much rather them than the whole gangsta rap bullsh*t that was famous not long ago & is thankfully making its way out of mainstream music... im sure im not the only one hoping for 50cent to get shot a 10th time.. maybe that one will be the lucky winner that will put us all out of our misery...
