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.

        Despite the fact that I come from the thrid biggest city in Wisconsin, there was still only three Armenians (including me) at my high school. I was aslo raised to be Catholic by my Irish mother, so I really don't know much about how others see us (I mean, those who actually know what an Armenian is). Can someone please explain what the stereo types are, and where they come from?

        P.S. my father died when I wa a little girl, so my connection to the Armenian world was pretty much destoryed. I'm trying to make up for lost time or whatever.

          There are lots of Armenian's here in LA. If you live in Glendale you'll feel like you are living in Hyastan! I love that and am very proud to be a hye! We are all mixed here, Armenians from Iran, from Armenia, from Lebanon, Turkey, Russia, Armenians born here! It’s a good mix and we get to learn a lot from each other, different Armenian language, different foods etc... !

                I was the only Armenian in my school and it was so rough explaining the Armenian peoples story i even had a teacher tell me that i couldn't do a report on armenia because there wasn't enough resources in the schools library.

                  My friends now know that I come from Armenia and not Romenia or Albania. It took me 3 years to teach them

                      I have spend all my life looking for you, the prophet, the one who knows what an Armenian is?
                      So what is an Armenian?


                      PS. It probably depends on where you live. Even in the US, I have seldom met Americans who have never known Armenians!

                      What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.
