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.

    Armenian Music, Guys/Girls

    I've just recently started buying Armenian CDs and they just happened to mostly be female artists. However, is there some cultural thing that men listen to other male artists and women listen to other female artists? Because my friend (a non-armenian who has a lot of Armenian friends) said that he hears his Armenian friends play Armenian music in their cars all the time, but this is the first time he's ever heard it be a female singer. I just don't want to be ridiculed for driving down Brand boulevard blasting Nune or anything, lol.

    Dude... listen to whoever you want to listen to. There isn't any cultural thing. But when and if you bump it.....make sure its worth it and its not some old Armenian tune from the 1920s or something to that aspect.

    I generally listen to anything from Jhoghovoortagan to Rabiz... as long as the beats, music, melody, singin and words are good, thats all that matters.

        Well if you think about it, here in America both guys and girls listen to any genre, except one that they are very divided on... pop music. That's something pretty much only girls listen to.. you'd be hard pressed to find a guy driving down the street bumping Justin Timberlake's "Seniorita" or Hillary Duff's "So Yesterday"... it just doesn't happen. However, from what I can tell, more mainstream armenian music IS pop music. You don't really have mainstream Armenians Rock or Rap (I prefer it this way actually), more or less all Armenian songs are about dancing/being in love.. which is pop music, so it's not easy to differentuate.

        I know some people might say I'm worrying about it to much, but I really don't wanna be driving around Glendale blasting what all the armos hanging around Starbucks consider the Armenian Britney Spears.

        And for those of you wondering, yes, it does bother me to come off as if I'm learning how to be an Armenian all over again, lol. You know if I was raised with this xxxx it would just come naturally.. xxxxing parents... *goes off to kill them*

          Jinx jan.... bro.... you worry waaaaaaayyyy toooo much.

          Taste has no friend. Everyone has a different taste..... what you might consider stupid... others might consider different and vice versa.

          Live life for yourself not others. Bump whatever you like, don't let anyone stop you. Life is short... enjoy it while it lasts you know?

            Which brings us to the million dollar question. Why would you be thinking about driving 1) in glendale, 2) by a Starbucks, 3) bumping Armenian music? You can be Armenian and still keep your self-respect.
