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.

    Hey Jen that's good stuff, seriously. Did you know that retail here in America does, I forget is it 2/3's or 3/4's of their business in the Winter season/quarter, whatever. We can't abandon it now (sarcasm)! X-Mas was cool last year and it should be cool this year. I'll be with my Dad who is Armo and aggro at the same time! He NEVER does ANYTHING remotely Armenian anymore, sux. My Mom who is primarily Irish holds down the Armenian traditions more than he does. She loves Armenian culture. My Dad is shameful in that respect ...

    Yeah...my dad is like that too, but not because he wants to, but because all his family cares about is money (except my Grandma who already passed away)...my mom is not really into the Armenian stuff, because my dads family always hated her for not being Armenian, so even if we tried to introduce something Armenian related to our holidays, she wouldn't be happy...I kinda see her side, but then again, I always tell her that not all Armenians are like that and the bad oranges are all over, not only between Armenians...

      Re: Armenians in America

      As somebody who has been born and raise in America AS an American:

      I HATE THANKSGIVING!!!

      I've pretty much ALWAYS hated it, the only redeming thing about it WAS Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, but, seeing as how Macy's has taken over Marshall Field's, I hate them now. What used to be green is now red....with a big ol' stupid white star in the middle of it all. It might as well say "COME SHOP AT LENIN'S!"

      Last Thanksgiving was so bad, I decided to boycott it from here on out. I hate it; I will never celebrate it again.

      grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........

        Re: Armenians in America

        It's true it has become the pre-Christmas catalyst with all the day after sales where, "If you're smart then you'll get your X-Mas shopping out of the way early!" so says retail business. Bah

        Jen - The worst thing about my Dad is that he never seemed to care about his Armenian heritage. He understood the language when spoken but never tried to learn how to speak it or write it. He never cooks anymore let alone Armenian food. It's like I'm the main person in my family who is trying to embrace my Armenian half. From the looks of me you'd think I was 100% lol. Them Armo genes is STRONG genes BOI!! lol To top it off when I go to see him he won't even let me cook up anything cuz "Oh it's a hassle blah blah blah" ... for who I'm cooking? pfffttt I <3 Armenians and I <3 Armenian Culture

                That's so very true. But when I used to work in a kitchen we used to get Australian lamb in when the better stuff from ? ran out.

                    No not to offend ... sorry if it came off that way! So sensitive! Perhaps it was from NewZ ... or Niman Ranch where we got all our pork and poultry.
