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.

  • Study Abroad

    Since I'm majoring in International Studies it's kinda expected of me to study abroad, which I'm glad cause I really want to do it. Has anybody here ever participated in study abroad? If so where and when did you go and did you like it?
    My International Studies major is concentrated in one region in particular, eastern europe and russia, so I'm starting to look into study abroad programs that they offer at my school in Russia. I wish they offered one in Armenia, that would be nice, sucks that they dont.

      I was in armenia and studied there for a short period of time at the music conservatoria, and I would say that it
      was quite an experience! I would recomment it to everyone.



      Needless to say, it broadens your views to study in a different country , and -mixing with people from a different culture perhaps even more than you did in your hometown.
      Ive thought of studying abroad myself in the near future, havent decided yet but it leans more or less to France.

        As an Armenian Studies and Russian Language and Literature major, I will most likely be doing at least a semester in Eastern Europe in the next two years. I am actually expected to go to Armenia for Armenian Studies, which is understandable of course.

        I would like to go to any French speaking region in Europe as well, for the sake of my French. I hope that I get the chance.

          Absolutely go for it and enjoy! I never studied abroad (shame) - but my wife did - in Mexico and in Paris France - and she loved it. She always speaks fondly of her experiences and of the families she lived with while in school. So a few years ago I managed to contact the family she stayed with in Paris and we set up a suprise (for her) visit - she hadn't seen them in 15 years...it was awesome - she was so surprised - and they treated us so well - had us for diner (and the treat for me was that they served some very fine wine from their own vinyards! - vintage 1974! - great stuff...)...anyway - we got to meet a student (from Poland) that was staying with them at the time...all these years later...so yeah - a great experience....

            Inna,

            You don't have to go through your school's programs. You can go through other accredited schools (CA State, link below, for example.) Just be sure that if you choose one of these, you check the credits transfer with your uni before you pay/go. Also, you might get big (full) scholarships (maybe even paying all--even above tuition) if you are serious and apply with big effort (I did).

            We’re sorry, but you have found a dead end. This page no longer exists. Please go to the homepage and start over.

              Re: Study Abroad

              In that program:

              "Qualified participants of Armenian descent are eligible for a travel fellowship from Birthright Armenia which includes travel fellowships for diasporan Armenians."


              That advice is relevant if you live in US or some of EU--otherwise ask a mentor for other options.

                  Ok. I don't think that was my basic point, but you are correct that Mentors are Mentors. I wonder how many Armenian students would like to study in Armenia or study Armenian (or both), but aren't even aware that they CAN (sometimes on full scholarship.) That's MY point. Talk to a mentor at your school for more help (to a student reading this and maybe might do so.)

                  (PS admin, Thanks for the nasty photo delete.)
