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.

    Hello TheSARSVolta,

    You and Noune Yesayan look alike but she has dark hairs. May I ask if that’s your hair’s natural color?

            I feel that I do not know much about my Armenian heritage because my parents are divorced and I was raised by my dad. So, these discussion boards will inform me greatly!

              The historical Irish VS English dispute has similar devastating results and causes to the tragedies Armenians faced during the early 20th century. Not to mention, both nations have faced bouts of widespread starvation and were subject to prejudice upon immigration to the US.
              My initial thought was of the more internal traits they have in common, or have been accused of having in common.

              And I recall an 19thC NY anti-immigration cartoon about a bunch of burly Irish policemen ready to weigh in to a devious-looking mob of Armenian Hunchaks, Russian revolutionaries, and Serbian Black Hands fresh off the boat for Europe.

                Haha, do you have a copy of this picture? Would like to see how they potrayed the Armenian Hunchaks in cartoon form.

                  Hardy har har har, the Irish were attacked for being Immigrants by the BRITISH, who called themselves Nativists, we weren't stopping people of different races as we were stopped ourselves, google NINA laws and anti Irish discrimination, even Gangs of New York showed it, don't confuse us with what you English did to "non natives" (like the Anglos or whites were native to the Americas in the first place).

                  Really, do you ever have any references to back up your claims?

                    There were very few Irish newcomers in the U.S. until the very end of the 19th century--and those were complete off-the-boaters, meaning unable to assimilate enough in the country to hold a position like law enforcement because of initial discrimination. I'm thinking socially, the Irish had little-to-no chances of becoming officers of the law until the 20th century at earliest; generally speaking.
                    Pedro's right, cities in the northern states (Boston, NYC) which many Irish Catholics emigrated to from Europe followed N.I.N.A. (No Irish Need Apply) employment implications at numerous jobs, even at the bottom level.
