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.

    Very true. I guess I have grown up EXPECTING that all armenians would have the same attachment to Armenia as I do, but it's just do much easier to "be american" and not bother yourself with a country living the harsh transition from communism to capitalism. What I loooove to hear is people that say "I'll wait for the situation to get better, then I'll see". Don't they realize that they've been given all the tools to make the situation better, and it is up to us to do it? But, as you said, they just aren't as interested by the idea.

    Ya, America is going down the drain pretty fast. But let's say that there is a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge recession in the States, would millions of Americans leave America, settle in Europe and forget the whole thing? Are americans more attached to their country (only a few centuries old) as opposed to Armenians (Yerevan alone is around 2000 years old)?

    Please take note that I am not talking about those who have left Armenia during the veeery harsh first years of independance, and who had no other choice but to leave. I am talking about those who are born and raised in the diaspora, and have lived economically comfortable lives.

    holy crap, 2 am here in Montreal! Kisher Pari!

        I first thought about that whole Roman empire= America thing when I first moved here(California) 5 years ago... and I felt like crap... I felt like we're(my family) such followers...
        it was like "hey... lets move wherever there's more money in the wrold"

          How many Armenians would dare leave their self serving life of materialism and "opportunities" and actually move back for Armenia or sacrifice their self for the greater whole? Hardly any. It's just the way things go. As Metallica said, Sad but true.

            I guess that's where it all ends. The only armenians who would be moving back are those who wouldn't mind driving a Niva instead of a beamer, as long as they truly are happy. The ironic part is that driving the beamer has now become the definition of being "happy". Oh well, it's up to the rest of us to go there, and then watch the other "proud armenians" come flying in as soon as Armenia has reached prosperity.

                    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?

                      bah, what armenians don't understand is that Armenia is another country going through the harsh transition between communism and capitalism. It has only been eleven years, and we're all expecting Armenia to be a super power tomorrow. It's gonna take time to turn Armenia into what we want it to be, but sitting here and xxxxxing is the last thing needed. Everybody that has been to Armenia tells me that the situation is getting better and better, and I choose to believe them. And even if it were getting worse, I'd still choose to go and live there, because it would then be our duty to reverse the situation.
