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.

    Diffrence between the language.

    Can you understand the "eastern" Armenian slang/language from what you know? Like I don't speek "pure" Amenian, its got a combination of slangs or whatever mixed from countries around Amrenia. Anyway can you understand both clearly? I don't, I have trouble understanding the "pure" one though, like the pernounciation of the words are a bit diffrent. So which one you down with?

          So far the only difference I've noticed is that Westerners put more emphasis on the Ps and Ks while Easterners put more emphasis on the Bs and Gs (Ex: "Pari Kishare" vs "Bari Gishare"). I'm sure there's more to it, but that's the only difference I've seen.

          The only "dialect" I can't understand what so ever if my life depended on it is Bairuitsi Armenian. Every once in a while I'll decipher an "Inchoo?" or "Che!" but other than that it just leaves me with a confused look on my face.... however, it is beautiful sounding.

            i just remembered this: now, please don't get offended! all in good fun

            we barsgahyes (actually not me) get giddy sometimes and say this when talking about the western armenians:

            "egur hoss, @ngir poss"


            and i hear that behind our backs hayastantzis say:

            "haver@ egan"

            (can anyone confirm the latter? i'd like to know! )

                I'm Basgahye and I have no clue what the hell you just said

                EDIT: "haver@ egan" Oh now I understand (would have been easier if you used an "A" instead of an at sign). yes, we are the Havs, and never forget it. Bak bak BAK BAK!! And why are we Havs? because we love Bak bak bak baklava!

                ..

                ok, I'll shut up now.
