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.

    Yeah Aim is great...but not as good as it was when published out of LA. I think the quality has slipped just a bit....it needs a spark I think...

        You have never heard of Armenian International Magazine (AIM)? That is odd.

          AIM Has Lost It

          The reason that AIM isn't successful is because they're simply not interesting. Very boring and the graphics are terrible. I almost find it offensive that they practically beg the Armenian public to support them when they obviously don't give a damn about the quality of their publication. What the hell are they doing with their money? Certainly not putting it into talent or printing.

            AIM is actually very interesting. I'd guess that the reason it isn't successful is because they won't have Tom Hanks on the cover, and deal with more serious issues.

              I supposed that's why there are two distinct magazines. I just find Mosaix more appealing because I just had an odar friend over, he read it and it was very educational to him. I don't think he would have gotten that from AIM. But again, taste will prevail in the end.

                Yes, they are two distinct magazines, with one having more appeal to the masses than the other, which will allow it (hopefully) to find success easier. From the way you're talking, I'm guessing you're involved in this Mosaix project, and hats off to you if you are, but I don't see why you would attempt to knock down another (in my opinion) fine Armenian publication, since these two mags will obviously not be competing for the same audience.

                But then again, maybe I'm just being cynical again.

                  AIM is an ok magazine, but I agree it has dropped off a little.

                    AIM is too political, boring and reaches out for the more 'elite'...Mos bring more modern that i think reaches out to more of the younger Armos (18-40)

                      Aim used to be better when published in Los Angeles, but the Armenians here are not supporting the magazine anymore with money so the guy took it to Armenia where people do support him. Have you not noticed that all the stories being covered now are all local Armenian(yeravan) stories instead of ones that focus on Armenians in America ( mostely those in LA. and NY.) or other places in the world. It's a shame, because the the magazine is amazing, and it would cover a lot of modern and interesting things in a great fashion of writing and display. The quality of the magazine has dropped a great deal, its not as interesting to read anymore. Hopefully it will come back to the U.S.
