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.

    I wish I could read something in Armenian. I have to figure out the characters in every word I read and on top of that my parabashar is not very zarkatsadz. I have heard so much of this wonderful literature, it pains me not to read it. I am hoping on starting some poetry to give myself that extra push. I hope to one day read my godfather's books without difficulty; his writing is quite difficult. I began to read the first sentence of one of his books and when five minutes had passed and I had completed the sentence I was lost.

      If you guys like Baronian's humour, you should try Yervant Odian too. "Azkayin parerar yev ayl badmvadzkner". Some pretty funny stuff.

        Agreed. Odian is great too

            I started reading one of the big Raffi books we have at home. I've already read "Khente", but now I think I'm going to read all the 10 books we have of him.

                Ah, "Khente" is truly something else. The kind of book I couldn't let down. I finished it in about 2-3 days. A MUST READ for all Armenians. And for you non-Armenian reading Armenians...I guess you can read it in english. It's called "the Fool" by Raffi.

                  I just finished reading Oscar Wilde's Salomé. It's overrated.

                    I thought Salome was hilarious. Considering it only takes about an hour to read, at most, I say it's well worth it.

                    Let's see, what am I reading now . . .

                    Grey's Anatomy (brushing up on the brain)

                    Abolition of Man - C.S. Lewis

                    Fundamental Principles on the Metaphysics of Morals - Immanuel Kant

                    Explaining the Human Genome - Not sure of the author

                    The Future of Life - Edward O. Wilson

                    Also some book that discusses the major pre-Socratics. I can't remember what it's called.

                      I'm not sure I got the point of it, really... I had read half of it before, but I still can't see the "comedy"/humour in it..

                      Now I'm reading "Unix for Programmers and Users."

                      Are you a multitasker like me? I read 5+ books throughout the day... lol...
