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 many of you here went to a private Armenian high school?

    I know there are quite a few in the LA area like Ferrahian, Pilibos, Manoogian-Demirdjian, and others.
    A few people I've met that went to Armenian private high schools really didn't like the experience at all (although they probably wouldn't have liked the experience of a public high school either). So to those that have been to Armenian private high schools: how did you like it?

    I did not go to a private Armenian school but my mom oversaw that I learn to read and write Armenian and I went to Saturday schools at Church. However, I do not like public schools either and if I was a bloodthirsty killer I would kill them all.

          I went to public schools because my parents really wanted me to be "americanized". I can read and write very little Armenian. This is the sadest post ever.

              I went to Alex Manoogian in Montreal from kindergarten to 8th grade.
              I can say that when I left for a french-canadian private high school, I was more than ready, and adapted easily.

              I still hate the way they teach Armenian though....uuuuugghhhhh

                I had a few lessons after school (public), one of the teachers that i had for a short period of time , taught me the alfhabet, in a fantastic way. the letters were assosiated with animals, and taught in a very artistic way.Salut to Baron LEVON!

                    I'm not. Granted I could have gotten a lot further with a good public school education given all the advanced, AP, honors,and gate programs that they have, but I think I fared pretty well given the poor level of college prep they had at Ferrahian.

                    The only thing I hate about Armenian schools is the snotty pretentious stuck up snobs. But I guess there are plenty of them everywhere so I can't really hide from it anyway.
