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.

  • Who plans on going back home?

    The "best feeling in the world" thread has brought up a question that I was thinking of bringing up lately.

    Of the posters here, how many plan to settle in Armenia? I mean, we're all talking about "mer doone hos che" and singing "kele lao, kele yertank mer yergir", but how many are actually considering or have considered living in Armenia. Why would you? Or why not?

    I don't plan on moving to Armenia but I do plan on investigating business opportunities there.

      I have considered it, but i will not be moving back. After being exposed to the opportunities that are possible to pursue here, how can I go back? I have aspirations. I am very involved in American politics, and I hope to be a part of it some day. Maybe an elected official, I dont know yet. I also do not speak our language.

      Armenia is great though. I have been there and made good friends, even though I could not speak a word to them. I love it, but I dont think it is for me.

        Why don't you speak the language? See...Armenian alienation begins there.

        In any event, I have contemplated it, have even talked to my parents about the possible "what if" of moving there. Nothing solid yet, but I wouldn't rule it out in the future.

          As if to blame it on a single incident. I dont know. I wasnt spoken to in Armenian growing up. There are many reasons for that too. I dont know why, that is how it is.

              What is Armenia like? From what I understand tourism is increasing and actually pumping some good money into the economy.

                To be honest with you, I want to KNOW Armenian. I am not ready to LEARN it though. Language is not a subject that I fancy. I took spanish in highschool, just sucked it up and got the A so I could go to a four year right off the bat. I hated taking language, and I do not desire to in college.

                    In my case, it just seems like the logical thing to do. We can't deny that no matter where we're living (except maybe the armenian communities in arab countries), we are losing our national identity at an alarming rate. Just checking the "honour roll" at my old armenian elementary school, I was shocked by how many "Jennifer Hagopian"s or "Steven Avedissian"s I was able to find.

                    Yet the thing with armenians is, they're all comfortable in their "new homes", and try to be as american or canadian or whatever possible. And to show the world that they're still armenian, they'll write a 100$ check once a year to help the "poor armenians over there". As soon as Armenia has become a charitable cause instead of your homeland, then you are, in my point of view, a lost case.
