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.

  • Armo Goth - Anyone else been noticing it?

    I've been visiting Glendale since I was still in my mama's tummy... but in the last few months I've been noticing a rise in a new Armenian Subculture that I like to reffer to as Armo Goth. Now, this is a very loose term since they're really not Goth and I know a lot more about "Goth" and it's uter BS than anyone else on this (I'm can assuming)... I guess a more appropriate term is Armo "grunge." These guys (and so farit's only been GUYS) don't really look armenian at first glance, cause they appear so counter-intuitive to what we're accused to. They have really dark eye liner, sometimes wear weird contact lenses, dress in all black, have black nails and are heavily pierced. However, all the ones I've noticed have either Armenian tattoos, red/blue/gold keychains or beanies, or the word "ARMENIAN POWER" or "ARMENIAN PRIDE" stiched onto their jackets.

    Personally I'm delighted to see a departure from the usual bling-bling and Benz crowd of Glendale, and I'm curious to know more about this rising subculture in Armenian youth.. any other people here seen them around in Glendale (or anywhere else for that matter)? Also, anyone else notice an increase of stickers of teh Armenian flag plastered on signs and posts all over Glendale in the last couple of months? I wonder if it's related...

      They're idiots. No different than all these Armenians who are now self-styled musicians and have bands "OMG I HAVE A BAND AND WE PRACTICE AT OUR GARAGE AND WE PLAY AT THE WHISKEY!" since System of a Down made it okay for Armenians to have bands.

        Well said..

        As for the original question. I've seen a lot of goths but not to many of them being armo. And why the hell would someone dress in all black in the summer. Doesn't it get hot?

          Don't you know? It makes up for its hotness with its coolness.

              haha mouse i agree.. my stupid neighbor used to think he was a rockstar... him and his lil twitty friends would "try" to play some music, but all the achieved was giving me a huge headache... leave the rock for the rockers--i think we armenians try too hard at fitting in and being somethign we're not, thats why we adapt to other people's was waay too soon--

              i mean i loev rock music too, i listen to it and enjoy it, but i dont dress up like a punk rocker and roam around LA and go dye y hair fuschia pink.... but anyway i dont want to be too critical, thats just my opinion- i know im armenian and i cant help the fact that i liek in the US and whether i liek it or not ive adapted dmany ways of american ilfe, but theres a limit to what you adapt to and what you see as a part of your identity and keep...

                  Music is music. Who cares who plays it? It's either going to be good or bad. As for dressing-styles, I'm glad to see some variation. Some people in Holland thought SOAD were a disgrace to the Armenian culture. How retarded are we???

                    Yeah, Nairi, don't you know? It is "hip" to be black.
