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.

    Ah yes...Krypton...I looked into some property there a couple of years ago, but the beautiful open minded views made the real estate ridiculously pricey.

          Crimson Glow,
          Do you remember who was your real state agent? I have a cousin who owns a real state agency in Krikru, Krypton. Let me know if interested. As Armenians, we should help each other.
          What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

            I'm sorry to hear that nobody cares to know who you are!
            It's OK! We still love you!

              At starbuck's my friends and I started to give Shakespearian names. In about one month we had gone through Othelo and Hamlet. Is it any wonder why Starbucks is one of the biggest companies in the world?


              Ones that got weired reactions: Duke of Venice, Lodovico, Roszencrantz, and of course Gildernstern.

                I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who feels the urge to make a parody and travesty of it!

                Two new ideas:
                1- A large number of individuals purposely order the exact same drink; one with the longest possible name/description!
                Also, they all give the same extra extra long and impossible to pronounce first name!
                Later, when the first drinks are served, they all rush to grab them and start fighting claiming that they have ordered first!

                2- This evening, the girl in front of me first replied with a "sure" and later gave the cashier a first name.
                "Sure" can be a valid first name! Of course, the intonation should be such that the cashier would be mislead!


                PS. Have you tried Polynesian names? Some of them are 50-60 characters long!

                  When I'm at an establishment that asks for a name (not Starbuck's....coffee of any sort is in the top 10 of Man's most hiddeous creations.....), I practically have to give a psuedo name. Around these parts, if you give them a name other then Ryan or Steve, they look at you like your from some other crazy planet...like Krypton, or something. So, I just go with names that don't fit, but they can at least attempt. Like Willie (and I'll add in an Irish accent), or Jean Paul (with a French accent). I have yet to experiment with something like...Harbinder...and speak with a Hindu accent. An oriental friend of mine (he's 3rd generation, and doesn't know jack about the language) did give oriental names, once. I got kind of a strange look, but not nearly as strange as when we pretended to be arguing with each other in Japenese (wouldn't have worked if he wasn't oriental). That was sheer genius. You should have seen the look on the faces of the other patrons. Good times.....good times....

                  And Siamanto; I'd rather just forget the whole Krypton thing. Bad experience all around. I was descriminated against something fierce due to being Armenian. As the agent said "What?? You think we're going to let an Armenian live on a planet of OPEN MINDED PEOPLE????"

                    Just because you've had a bad experience?

                    Let me tell you something. In elementary school and middle school my mom packed my lunch alot. I was Armenian I got harassed alot for different things. One time this kid made fun of me for the food my mom packed (dolma). We were all sitting at the lunch tables. You know what I did? I got up, I went up to him, and I punched him. He shut up after that and never said anything.

                      A friend of mine managed to escape from many "illegal" situations - illegal parking, jumping the turnstile in the subway - pretending he's North African who does not understand French. Interestingly, he's a very light skinned Armenian and does not look Arabic at all!

                      I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad impression and have bad memories of Krypton. It's such a lovely place; I'll scan and share with you a brochure about Krypton ASAP.
                      In a peaceful and open minded world such as Krypton, the word "army" is a taboo and evokes unpleasant feelings: are you sure that the agent did not mishear you?
                      Among those who are up there, in Krypton, you should say: "I'm High!"
