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.

            it's simple...
            you can't do it as an individual.
            everyone needs a direction...
            you HAVE to be associated with some sort of an organization.
            it's like... why have we ALWAYS had people represented by PARTIES elected as presidents or heads of communities?
            as opposed to chezok cadidates?
            you're basically saying one can believe in God without necessarily following a certain religion. which I don't think is possible.

              Aha! Being affiliated with an organization and being a goosagtsagan is not the same thing. I am a member of AGBU, but not of any goosagtsootyoons because:

              1) If you are in a political party, you basically believe that the country should be run in the way the party says it. I am against this because an armenian living outside of Armenia should not be allowed to decide how Armenia is going to be run, if he/she is not willing to suffer his/her decision's consequences. If we are not living in Armenia, if we do not know what the ARF or the Ramgavars are doing over there, how can we support it? Sure, we have a role to play in assisting Armenia from the diaspora, and fighting for such things as Genocide recognition, but I do not believe that we should be a member of a party which will decide a country's interior policy, while not living inside the country.

              2) Goosagtsootyoons have played a horrible role in uniting Armenians in the diaspora. It has mostly become a competition, and I know a few nasty stuff that has happened between different goosagtsootyoons in Montreal. Heck, are we the only nation that has 3000 songs praising a political party? I never heard Alicia Keys or whomever singing "Long live the Republicans". My point is, goosagtsootyoons are being given a bigger importance than they should have.

              3) It is not true that one cannot remain without a party, as Robert Kocharian, Vartan Osganian and a few other ministers are not members of any party.

                clarification...
                I'm not goosagtsagan!
                I'm in Homenetmen
                but Baron Dants jan
                every organization in spiourk is affiliated with a goosagtsootyoon
                so even though you refuse to admit it, AGBU does have ties with Ramgavars...
                8)

                  Never refused to admit it, it is a well-known fact that many Central Board members are Ramgavars, and I disagree with that, as I think all Central Board members should not be affiliated with any goosagtsootyoons, in order to prove the point that AGBU is not affiliated with any parties and is truly a pan-armenian organization. Of course, as you know, Tashnags have been part of the Central Board at the same time as Ramgavars but the Cold War era changed the whole thing.

                  Despite this fact, the AGBU, to my knowledge, never takes part in goosagtsagan activities, as opposed to HMEM. Not saying that being a member of HMEM is a bad thing, don't kill me. It's just that it is clearly a branch of the ARF, which is not the case with AGBU.

                  Oh well, I still dream of the day where all members of the Diaspora would unite under ONE organization, the World Armenian Organization or something, and only those living in Armenia would have a say on who runs the country.

                      Its like being a democrat in Armenia, what the hell are you going to do with that? NOTHING.

                      Stop wasting your time and acting like you care. You dont believe in God anyway, so how can you set up a guide to tell people how to worship? Hypocritical indeed.

                      Your group in particular is making us an interest group. I dont know if I can stress that anymore. Democrats will act as they care, because they want your vote. They will make us an interest grouop as they have other peoples, and other beliefs.
