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.

  • Who are ur favorite (& least favorite) Armenian singers?

    just like the "poll" option, there should be an option to create threads where u can rate things.

    let the forum know what u think of any (or all) of the following Armenian singers.
    i have rated them on a scale to 10. (10 being the best)

    Adiss Harmandyan - 10
    Andy Madadian - 6
    Aram Asatryan - 7
    Ararat Amadian - 7
    Arman Baghchedjian - 4
    Artash Asatryan - 5
    Arthur Apkarian - 6
    Avo Sarkissian - 5
    George Tutundjian - 7
    Harout Pamboukjian - 10
    Harout Zenian - 4
    Hovanness Badalian - 8
    Joseph Krikorian - 5
    Karnig Sarkissian - 7
    Levon Katerdjian - 6
    Manuel Manankichian - 8
    Marten Yorgantz - 6
    Maxim - 8
    Nersik Ispirian - 3
    Nune Yesayan - 6
    Paul Baghdadlian - 10
    Puzant Kelendjian - 7
    Robert Chilingirian - 6
    Ruben Hakhverdian - 7
    Tata Simonyan - 9
    Tatoul Avoyan - 6
    Vatche - 9

    Please try to be as objective as possible!!! Rate singers based on their singing ability, not their looks. Some of these singers are now past their prime, so rate them when they were at their best.

    I'm looking forward to reading ur opinions. Once again, you do not have to rate all of them. Add others if u like, i will give them my rating if i know them.

    Paul Baghdadlian - 5 now, 10 b4
    Robert Chilingirian - 5
    Tata Simonyan - 8

                    I forgot to point out Gor. Glad we agree on him.

                    As for Badalian....well...he's dead now. He died 2-3 years ago I think. He is generally known as the singer who brought real armenian music back to popularity in Armenia and the diaspora in his heyday (the 70s I guess). He's also the one that trained Roupen Matevosian, and other singers of traditional (and not always so traditional) armenian music.
