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.

  • Understanding The Words To Enjoy The Song

    OK. Right now I'm listening to Josh Groban's song Alejate and I don't understand the words to the song, but I love this song. The language is beautiful, his voice is great and the music has a nice touch of the guitar playing.

    So, basically what I'm asking is...
    Do you need to understand the words in the song to enjoy the song?

    I don't think so. Heck, sometimes the words are horrible but the music and the voice is great.
    Well?
    I see...

    yes and no...lol
    you can "feel" the song, the instrumentals, the whole tone and mod of it without understanding the words, you can have your own meaning to it
    yes- because the words are very menaingful most of the time also-- so i say both yes and no

      You don't have to know the lyrics to enjoy the song.

      I don't understand Arabic or Greek (I wish I did), but when I listen to an Arabic or Greek song, I enjoy it because I feel the music. You know, sometimes, you feel the instrumental, the tones, and the voice like Angelik said.

        yeah sure, sometimes just singing something withthout any understandable worlds just making it up, is the best therapy for you.

          I saw Josh Groban at the Hollywood Bowl last Friday night. I think he did that song you're talking about. It was great

            Not in every situation..some songs are still beautiful even without the words so you can still enjoy them...and I dont understand anything in the Armenian songs but I still enjoy it...I just think if you dont know what your missing then your not missing anything...You might enjoy the song even more if you understood the words, but I dont think you would enjoy it any less if you didnt understand it
