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.

        Armenian quotes - all Arthur Meschian's work can go as one big Armenian quote. His language is beautiful too...

        Let me find some particularly nice phrases:

        ...Vaxcir erb demkd e misht zhptum
        Bayc karyuni xxichd nersen
        Erb kkises hacy mardun
        Bayc aryan ham kga hacen...

        ...Erb vor shahes bazum gandzer u haxtanak
        Ev chakatit dnen voske harapsak
        Hishir vor nax parki dapnin indz e trvel
        Ev chakatis colky vchit hogh e hima...

        ...Tarorinak, tarorinak mard ararac,
        Momi luysov xavari mej hamatarac,
        Khalaces du tesilkner arevavar,
        Kxarxapes ev xavarin ches havata...

        ...Vzit shxta ev teverid canr kapank
        Du kporces arcivnerin vayel chaxrank
        Ev ays kianki mec banti mej bazmakamar
        Du kxextves - shxtanerid ches havata...

        ...Tarorinak, tarorinak mard ararac,
        Go dzerkerov hoghin ktas kianker caxkac,
        Kzgas demkid mahvan kamin ev hoghmavar
        Kngnes anshunch - sakayn mahvan ches havata...

        This last one was the best

        There is much more, I just can't really read lyrics from songs easily, he uses lots of archaic language in there.

          Yes its a great quote. You've got most of it pretty much.

          I thin what he is saying is both true and a very important concept for us. To me it means that wherever we end up - we will thrive and prosper and be us. Thus - as sad as we are for the loss of our homes and lands (from Anatolia) - it is not what is supremely important - but our families and our communities - wherever they may be is where its at.

            Here's the rough translation of the last Meschian's lyrics I posted:

            Strange, strange creation is a man
            With heavy chains tied to his neck,
            He will attempt to immitate flight of an eagle,
            Will fall down on the ground,
            But never believe he has failed...

            Thorns and needles will pin him
            on his dusty roads,
            But with the blood on his punctured hands
            He will be searching for flowers' bright soul
            Wailing and screaming,
            But never believing in pain

            Strange, strange creation is a man
            He'll endow endless lives to the dead sands
            And when the wind of the end
            Blows onto his face,
            He'll fall breathless,
            Never believing in death...

                  As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere 'being'.

                  -Carl Jung
