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.

    Re: Armenians in America

    Err other than cooking I am trying to find an accessible way to learn the language and studying up on the history of Armenia so I can get down with more traditions. I want to go to Armenia and purchase every indigenous musical instrument they have. I once saw a travel channel show where they went to Armenia, which was beautiful, and these ppl were playing the coolest instruments. Some wind some percussive ...

    My sister worked for a gallery here in Atlanta that is now gone, but while she was there she met this guy named Dan. He was a photographer and he traveled to Armenian and was allowed access to and took photos of some of the oldest churches in Armenia. Some buried under ground (??) so we have a few silver screened prints that are AMAZING. Really cool stuff. He said that they wouldn't be so friendly to a Diaspora Armenian. Oh well ...

    My grandfather was a Knight of Vartan and a Mason but I'm not feeling all of that. My grandmother was an Eastern Star and all in all in their generation it just seems like it was the sociable thing to do.

      Re: Armenians in America

      That's pretty good, If you ever go to Armenia let me know, I know someone that knows everything and anything about the history of Armenia and can actually show you around too (this is not a tour thing) It's someone close to me, and he'd love to meet anyone that is willing to learn

      I am going (hopefully) next August, can't wait, haven't been to Armenia for 3 years now will be 4 by the time I go.

      when I was there last, my uncle wanted to buy me the Kanon (string instrument) but there is no one here to teach me, but this time I want to bring one back, I am sure I can teach myself.

          A lot of Americans themselves don't really celebrate 4th of July...I mean, they always have BBQ and things like that, but then again, how are you suppose to celebrate the day of the independence? Maybe go to a military parade?
