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.

    I understand Jahnaam’s point of view,

    I think that one of the things Armenians do wrong, is that we always keep our issues, our interests, our causes, , our celebrations, or commemorations, our everything, amongst us only.. It's very important to include other cultures into our cultural affairs to increase awareness, as to who we are, where we come from...

    We live in these cities where there are huge Armenian communities such as Hollywood, Glendale, or North Hollywood, and we think that oh, everyone knows who Armenians are, but if you drive an hour away from these areas, and ask someone about Armenians, they’re completely clueless. They have noo idea who armenians are, or where armenia is located on the map, or anything about us what-so-ever.

    an example: April 24th. Before the March in little Armenia, organized by the UAS, every year Armenians would gather at Montebello, by the yeghern monument. We were not seen nor heard much. But with the March in Little Armenia, we got way more news coverage, and the "otars" actually see all these people outside marching, and yelling, which actually triggers interest in them as to what the cause is, and many who hear about it, often side with us in the issue. 'Strength in numbers'

    Back to the topic, though we should be more open to other cultures,and ethnicities, etc... I think that this site is more of a place all Armenians can come together, to discuss issues concerning US, or one’s we have in common. It's more of a private cultural thing. And if it becomes more open to other people(s), it’s going to drive our people away.

      That's not because Armenians don't open up. That's because Armenians are very low in numbers! We are a spec of dust on the planet, and I won't expect much else.

            MY WHOLE POINT WAS THAT WE CAN MEET OTAR PPL EVERYWHERE AND ANYWHERE SINCE WE LIVE IN OTAR COUNTRY, OUR PURPOSE IS TO STAY ARMENIAN AS MUCH AS WE CAN. THATS Y I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE OTARS WHO ARE MEMBERS. SINCE WE ARE VERY FEW IN NUMBERS WE MUST BE CONNECTED, AND NOT LET ANY STRANGE INTRUSION. COS ITS VERY EASY TO FIND NON-ARMENIANS.................
