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.

  • How do you greet relatives?

    Guys, do you shake hands and kiss relatives (male or female) on the cheeks? Or do you just shake hands?

    Ladies, how do you greet other people?

    For me, for my immediate family, cousins, uncles, aunts, etc it's handshake with kisses on the cheeks. For "other" family members I just shake hands. I used to have an aunt from my fathers side who always wanted to kiss us even if she was eating something. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww, gross!

    I greet all people, relatives, friends, strangers, and enemies alike with a small bow and I say "Bow".

        I must say that I am not a really touchy feely person, so I am a bit annoyed by the double kisses. Plus they take forever, because you have to spend like 20 minutes kissing everyone, which after your lips are need of a deep massage. I much rather say hi to everyone or shake hands, plus you don’t know other peoples hygiene. Also I don’t really dig how some parents kiss their kids on the lips, I adore these two little girls, and when they see me they run to give me many kisses which turns into a shower of lip kisses. Now that is a little awkward.

            All males, regardless of blood, receive a handshake ( a good way to pass germs ).

            Family relatives that are females usually a small handshake and the kiss on the cheek crap.

            Friend females, a hug ( while you sort of feel their nice lower back ).

              Yeah, I agree with the lip kissing thing. That's pretty weird. As for me I only have 1 aunt and 1 uncle with their husband/wives. So I don't have to go around kissing 23234 relatives. If it's a family gathering with my moms cousins, etc I just shake hands and say hi.

                  Indeed, but I truly think greetings are overrated, especially the rabies Armo godfather style handshake with the kisses on the cheeks.

                    Yes indeed. My uncle is like that, he wants to kiss and shake EVERYBODIES hand. It's funny at family gatherings, for 24234 minutes all he does is kiss and handshake.
