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.

  • Jethro tull anyone?

    My fav albums are the first 4. My father pointed out how the names for the first 3 albums were strategically chosen by Anderson for his career prospects... The first being "This Was" (how they started off as a blues band), then "Stand Up" (they've gotten your attention, now they can play what they want!) and "Benefit" (well, not sure about this one, but it seems to follow a pattern).

    Do any of you have speculations on this?

    Or do any of you even know these guys?

    I love the hop on one leg flute solos. Dusken probably listened to them, but I might be the only one left at this point.

      Yeah, he made the flute cool. It's a shame no one else here listens to them

        He was in Ankara (or maybe it was Istanbul?) yesterday, giving a concert along with a Turkish woman violinist. Excerpts of it were on TV - seemed rather boring (a flute sounds and looks so insignificant on a large stage no matter how much hopping around you do!). But the audience seemed to like it.

          My uncle,who is now in mid-50's,was kind of an Armenian hippy flower child type in his younger days. Recently,he gave me almost his entire LP record collection for some unknown reason,maybe around 100 of them. Included was a great Jethro Tull album called "Aqualung". The old dude also gave me a bunch of good classic Armenian music albums,as well.

            Haha, that's awesome... Yeah, Aqualung is a good way to start off with Jethro Tull, now all you have to do is work your way backwards and forwards through time from it.

            By classical Armenian, you mean instrumentals and duduk playing, and stuff like that?

              Exactly,duduk playing but also tara,kanoun,clarinet,zither...etc. I'm talking about Armenian traditional folk and dance music with festive strong,lively rythms. Too many to name them all and some as old as heck. A real listening pleasure. I like some of them as much as the rock.

                sounds interesting... We listen to them sometimes during our kung fu training, but I don't own any copies of that kind of music. I'll look into that too.

                  Jgk3, I don't know if you heard but Jethro Tull had a concert in Armenia this year. Here's Ian Anderson's opinion on Yerevan . You can find videos of his performance by searching "Jethro Tull Armenia" on YouTube.
