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.

    lol, not yet. Very tempting though.

    Seriously, untying something is "kagel". Any relations?

      I have no idea. But we don't say "kagel" either. At least I don't.

      And you guys use "y" for words like Hakop (western uses "Yakop") or hisoon (yisoon) honk (yonk) right?

      It's odd. But I'm getting used to it.

        The "hi" for Hagop (thing that looks like a 3 in capital and a j in non-capital) is the correct spelling of it. Soviet leaders changed the Armenian spelling overnight in a bid to "make it easier". It was also a first step towards the creation of a new "Soviet Language", and quite a successful way of widening the gap between Armenia and Diaspora (different dialects PLUS different spelling). I still do not see why the Republic of Armenia does not switch back to the real spelling. The Soviet spelling has pretty much butchered the language, and caused it to remain at a standstill.

          That would also explain why we use the "yech" for the "ian"s at the end of last names, and you use the "hi".

              Fire I wrote Y because 3(as baron used to explain it) and small j (3 j) we pronounce the sound "y" makes. Y-yarn, that sound.

                Yes, which is a result of Soviet spelling. Damn the people that got that law to pass.


                I've always said: If Arevmdahays can take the arevelahay pronounciation (which we have lost), and if Arevelahays can take the arevmdahay spelling (which you have lost), we are back on track. You couldn't imagine how much simpler everything would be.

                    Spiral's post in her old thread made me realize how utterly anal it is to see this.

                    "I was going through the old threads, and I came across this one."

                    Stop saying that. All of you. No one came across anything.

                      geez, well I was going through the old posts, and I saw that one, and I clicked on it, and I read that story again, because I love it so much.

                      Better?
