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 I as an Armenian make myself feel more European?

    I mean, yeah. Armenians are European. But since most Armenians look like middle eastern people and eat middle eastern food, it's kind of difficult for me to just say "yeah, I'm European." Seems like such a simple question to me but almost impossible to give an answer to. So I need your help. Thanks.

      Here's a solution: Get rid of your inferiority complex and just tell people you're Armenian.

          People usually assume I am a white European. True. I am. But the rest of the Armenians that look middle eastern kind of ruin it for me. LOL

              They ruin it? I think its your inferiority complex thats ruining things for you. Persians look 'middle eastern' but they are probably more Aryan than western Europeans.

              Like I said, you need to get rid of your inferiority complex. You should also familiarize yourself with Armenian history. Armenians with inferiority complex make me more ashamed than Armenians who 'look middle eastern'.

                  Re: How do I as an Armenian make myself feel more European?

                  I find it difficult and pointless (even self-destructive) to try identifying with Europe today, because all that represents is selling out my culture... and to gain what? Popularity among ignorant Europeans who couldn't give a xxxx about Armenia, or even their own traditional culture for that matter?

                  What is today's Europe? Seriously, what is the basis of being "European" today? Politically, it is a tool of London and Washington, culturally it's not a genuine entity unless you want to treat culture in the most base, materialistic sense. Why would I want to fit into something like this? People should feel ashamed too for buying into such a garbage example of an ideal continental culture that negates the very foundations that civilizations are built on. It is quintessentially the same thing as "American culture", maybe it's more chic, that's all.

                  Lets align ourselves with Western Europe next time we can actually profit from it as Armenians (like the Cilicians did during the Crusades), shall we? Have some standards and self respect is all I'm saying.

                    My motto has always been 'be yourself' because that is what you can be best at. No point in trying to act like this or like that because whatever attention you get or friends you make by acting like someone else it will all be fake.
