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.

  • Re: The meaning of your first name?

    Sorry, Gevorg is not an Armenian Name. It is the Armenized form of George the patron Saint of England. Yes the dragon slayer. But, I believe the name comes from the Greeks. And, you do not want to know the true story of saint George ( if it is true, as told by Gibbon ).

    • Re: The meaning of your first name?

      Armenians have had a lot of contact with the Greeks in the past if I'm not mistaken so yeah, Gevorg could be an Armenized version of George or something. We might've took that name from the Greeks themselves actually. It's a possibility.

        Doubtful, Armenians predate the Greeks by way of the Hurrians and the Urartians, Greeks by their own account historically traced their lineage to Asia Minor, claiming to have migrated from there by historical account, the earliest Greek (Minoan) civilisation started near the islands of Crete and Cyprus, who by their accounts migrated from Asia Minor (Anatolia/Middle East)

          It is of Old German origin, and its meaning is "noble, bright, famous". From an Old French name, Albert, of German (Frankish) origin.

              Sarkis=Serge/Sergei

              From Latin "Sergius." Possibly means "servant."
              Are you sure about this Ara? My name is Sarkis/Sako, not Serge. Have you heard of St./Surp Sarkis? Not every name in Armenian has an English equivelant. The name Sergei or Serge has nothing to do with Sarkis. They are three different names ... all used in Armenia. My brother's name is Sergei (my Uncle's son). And Serge or Serojya was my grandfathers name.

              I think you've got the wrong idea partner. Let's go through this again.

                  Sako, your Grandfather would have been called Sergei too, Seroje is a familiar for that name, (I have an Uncle Seroje) but English letters can't get the pronunciation, again!!

                    Sarkis
                    Greek and Arabic: from a personal name borne by a 4th-century Christian saint martyred in Cappadocia under Diocletian, known in Latin as Sergius and in Russian as Sergei.
                    The meaning of the name Sergei is Servant

                    http://www.meaning-of-names.com/arme...mes/sarkis.asp
                    In Armenian, the name Sarkis means- protector, shepherd. The name Sarkis orginated as an Armenian name.

                      Not in all cases. Some people are Seroje ALONE! They don't call themselves Sergei. My name has nothing to do with the these names though. I very much doubt they do.
