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.

      Man, the only times I feel like a bad armenian are when I'm posting here. What's Harisa? I'm afraid I don't know what that is... or maybe I do, and I just didn't know that was the name.

        Of all the meals you named, I don't think any one country can claim to be the "owner" of it. All these nations have been in direct contact for thousands and thousands of years. The origin and evolution of each meal would be almost impossible to find.

          Well, I must say that I am pretty surprised that you don't know what harisa is.

          Best way to describe it would be "the thing that tastes so good for something that looks so ugly".

            Dolma is not greek. Dolma is turkish and it comes from Adana and Cilicia.
            My grandma told me and I believe her. The reason why greeks know how to cook dolma is because they had armenian neighbors. ( in Polis, Asia Minor and Cypros lots of greek-armo popularities~~~local influences )

                  If we formed an Armenian boy band would you be Justin or JC? I have a feeling I'd Krisker Patrick or Joey Fatone. Dants can be Lance. Anon would be our mascot. This would be very cool indeed.

                  ...

                  Anyway... me and a friend were talking about this the other day and finally just decided that all mediterainian cultures have the same food so it's hard to see that any one food is from any one culture. That said, there still must be uniquely Armenian food out there. Euorpe has a lot of similar food too, but there's clearly defined Italian food, french food, german food, etc...

                    This is getting silly. To say that dolma is originally from one place or another doesn't make sense. It's freakin meat in a leaf. I'm sure they thought of it in more than one place. I know that no matter what food I list in here one of you is gonna jump down my throat and tell me it's from somewhere esle so screw it.
