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.

        Almost the same as Nairi's response. One of them I was 15 when I got and was stupid and thought it was "cool", which was the cross and I don't give a rat's ass about religion so I need to get rid of it. My other one which most of you have seen on my back (avatar in the past) has a very deep meaning but I want to get rid of that one also just because I don't feel like I need it to be on my body anymore, no matter how deep the feeling or representation of the tattoo. I'm also tired of people asking me what it means every time and it's personal so I can't tell them so I keep getting bothered by persistent people who keep asking me. And last but not least I feel uncomfortable sometimes in front of armenian elders if I'm at my friends pool or stuff of that nature. I know I shouldn't care but that stuff bothers me also. There's many other reasons but I think that is a good enough explanation. Anyway, if anyone does know of a place that they can successfully get rid of the tattoo's by the newest technology lasers I would like to hear about it because the only reason I haven't gotten rid of them is because of fear of scarring.

          Any decent dermatologist should be able to remove it without scarring. Just open up the yellow pages, there are tons that advertise for tattoo removal. If you're going to be tattooed in a publicly visible place, you must be prepared for people to look. However, while you are willing to share the images, the meanings are your own. People are perfectly welcome to draw their own - inaccurate and mundane - conclusions as to
          your motivations.

              The one I really have my heart set on getting is the image from my Grandmother's head-stone. It's the outline of Ararat and Masis mountain range with the sun rising inbetween them and the words, written in Armenian, 'Mihat Azg, Mihat Ser' over the mountain, as if coming out of teh rays of the sun. Pretentious and sappy? yes... but I want.

                I usto want it because it was "cool" and I wanted the attention, I didn't get it then though. After awhile it became something stupid to do, pointless and my "ex" didn't want me to get it. But I started reading into certain symbols and meanings of tattoos and I fell in love with the fact that you can imprint something on your body that will not go away and it has a meaning close to your heart that you can share with everyone, or just keep it for whom you want to share it with. I fall into the second catagory as well now. I have 2 tatoos and I just recently added on to my first one. They are both on my back, and I am planning to get more, possibly 2 more. I think my tattoos and piercing say a lot about who I am, i will never get something tat doesn't have meaning for me, I will also not cover my whole body in tattoos. I also will never get rid of them.

                      I didn't read anything here, but I'm gonna put down input. Personally, I don't like tatoos, but it does look good on some people, specifically girls(depending on what body part its on).
