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.

    Poems

    I love Shel Silverstein...

    Nobody
    by Shel Silverstein

    Nobody loves me,
    Nobody cares,
    Nobody picks me peaches and pears.

    Nobody offers me candy and Cokes,
    Nobody listens and laughs at my jokes.

    Nobody helps when I get in a fight,
    Nobody does all my homework at night.

    Nobody misses me,
    Nobody cries,
    Nobody thinks I'm a wonderful guy.

    So if you ask me who's my best friend, in a whiz,
    I'll stand up and tell you Nobody is.

    But yesterday night I got quite a scare,
    I woke up and Nobody just wasn't there.

    I called out and reached out for Nobody's hand,
    In the darkness where Nobody usually stands.

    Then I poked through the house, in each cranny and nook,
    But I found somebody each place that I looked.

    I searched till I'm tired, and now with the dawn,
    There's no doubt about it-
    Nobody's gone.


    My Rules
    by Shel Silverstein

    If you want to marry me, here's what you'll have to do:
    You must learn how to make a perfect chicken dumpling stew.
    And you must sew my holey socks.
    And soothe my troubled mind.
    And develop the knack for scratching my back.
    And keep my shoes spotlessly shined.
    And while I rest you must rake up the leaves.
    And when it is hailing and snowing
    You must shovel the walks & and be still when I talk.
    And-Hey-Where are you going??

    Listen To The Mustn'ts
    by Shel Silverstein

    Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
    Listen to the DON'TS
    Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
    The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
    Listen to the NEVER HAVES
    Then listen close to me-
    Anything can happen, child.
    ANYTHING can be.

    How about some Armenian poetry?

      Vahan Tekeyan's "Partsratsir" sounds a lot more inspirational than that last one :P

      And what was the one by Shiraz? Menk enk mer lernere? something like that, quite an ego booster

        An Armenian one...

        If you click below, you will be directed to one of my favorite Armenian Panasdeghdzootiuns... Although I can't really say one of my 'favorites' because we had great Armenian poets and I love every Armenian Panasdeghdzootiun I've heard, read, studied, memorized...

            for once, I will agree with you armenator.
            Gdag is a good one. I remember reciting it a few years ago at an ardasanootyoon contest and winning first prize.
            The other poem I recited was "Kda", also by Shiraz. It's a prety long poem about an orphaned boy who finds his mother while trying to steal bread from her. I made a few ladies cry...hehe

            ok ok, Baron Shiraz made them cry...

              You know which one makes me cry? My brother recited it at a poetry contest too. Argaydz Jrak. Do you know which one I am talking about? I am pretty sure it is by Taniel Varoujan as well.

              it goes something like...

              Hars, vare looyse jeraki,
              baderazmen bidi kay dghas haghtagan...

              More poems...

              *Inch eh hokin, hayoo hokin (The Armenian Soul, wowowow)

              http://www.geocities.com/armenia2003/english/poetry/hayuhokin.htm

              *The following three poems were written by Bedros Tourian when he was about 20-21 years old. He died of tuberculosis at 21 years of age and the second two poems are things he wrote lashing out at God for wanting to take him so young, then apologizing a day later for his rashness.

                People read Raffi's novels. Raffi's fiction reveals one overarching purpose, to hold up a well-polished mirror to the totality of Armenian life, representing it in each of its principal population centers and at different historic moments, each novel serving as part of a grand mosaic which completes the picture of Armenia. From his earliest novels set in his native Persia, to his stories depicting the Armenian merchant class in Tiflis, to his final novel, Samvel, set in ancient Armenia.

                    dang Hyeclass, i perked up at the sight of your most recent post, for you see there was nary the word ass or hole or sticking anything into it in sight. Unfortunately next time you plagirize someone's work remember to site your sources! Hehe. you might not have been caught, had I not just yesterday read the back issue of the Groong, that had Donald Abcarian's review of Raffi the writer, in it.

                    Try to remeber to add this in your bibliography of sources next time, okee?

                    RAFFI -- An Overview

                    Dude, I love that you tried though. That was some good things Mr. Abcarian said about Raffi. Thanks for enlightening us though. I loved reading Khente, the whole year it took me to read it.
