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.

        Originally posted by jahannam bejug, he has a point.
        january 6th is not "Armenian Christmas" day.
        it's Orthodox/apostolic Christmas day.
        during the roman times, most of the eastern countries (byzantium) such as russia, Greece, assyria, Armenia, etc... belonged to the orthodox church. and Today, we're not alone celebrating it on the 6th. it's just that most americans are Catholic. otherwise, All Greek and russian and assyrian Orthodox churches join us in celebrating christmas on January 6th. just thought I'd clarify.
        Greeks celebrate the X-mas on Dec 25th.
        Armenians on Jan 6th
        Russians on Jan 7th

        Now you know it more CLEARLY, no offences please, just to let you know so u won't be confused either

            I'm also pretty sure the russian orthodoxes celebrate it on the 7th, but if you want to open my head and shout it in, go ahead..

                Also, just because you say the word ORTHODOX 3 times, doesn't mean that the greek, russian and armenian churches are all related. The real term for our church, I believe, is Apostolic (arakelagan). There is a link between our church and 1 or 2 other churches in the world, but it is neither the greek, nor the russian orthodox church.

                  Now an official holiday in Russia, Christmas is celebrated by the Russian Orthodox Church on January 7th. The resources below describe the history and traditions of this celebration. Although all of the resources are not strictly Orthodox, they provide a background of this holiday that has recently begun to be observed openly again.




                  The Greek Orthodox Church like the other Christian churches celebrates Christmas on December 25th. The Catholic and Orthodox church were united for over one thousand years and the celebration of Christ's birth remains the same date in both churches. To the Greek people Christmas is second only to Easter in terms of importance.




                  Better change that "open your head and scream it in"....besides being childish, it doesn't make you look too bright...
