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.

  • Plays

    Do any of you go to plays, read plays, or maybe even been in a play? I saw Waiting For Godot(People say its religious.....not really though) a couple of months ago and it was pretty good. Watching it was better than reading it though, unlike books that I prefer reading first and then maybe watching a movie on it. I will go see Master and Margarita in a few weeks....hope it'll be good. So yea, any plays you've seen/read that are good?

    I've seen Death of a Salesman, The Glass Menagerie, and Oedipus (among others). Those were pretty awesome.


    I read this compilation of a few of Oscar Wilde's plays... 'The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays' (it's pretty funny, he's very good at using wit to make fun of everything), I understand why they called him a genius.

      i read Oedipius, but haven't seen the play though. It was a big surprise to me when I found out that he slept with his mother. LOL. what a fool....his fate was told to him but he didn't listen. I find that play so ironic......one of the reasons why I like it.

        The play was pretty good. Quite disturbing when the actor did the whole gouging out his own eyes scene. I think he was wearing some black contacts, added with the fake blood and the eerily dimmed lights, and the fact that the stage set-up in the 'A Noise Within' Playhouse in Glendale gives everyone a very up-close view of the actors, made it all too real indeed.



        Have any of you seen The Vagina Monologues?

          I was in 6th grade, and my teacher told me i should audition for this Armenian play that they were having. I went to the auditions, and there were 6 other girls auditioning for the same character that I was, and the person who decides was one of the kid's parent......anyways they told us they were gonna choose 3 and then the next 1 out of those 3...I was in the top 3 on the first day, and that girl was as well......I was sooo disappointed the next day, because they chose that girl over me, she was soo annoying, not good, and ugly...lol.....I was crying all the way....so after that disappointment, I never tried out for others, although I took this theater class and the instructor asked me if i wanted to be in some play with a small roll.....but nooo. Sometimes bad experiences stay bad no matter what....

            my first play was in the third grade(it was soo cute), another one was in 10th grade(Romeo and Juliet - The Matchmaker scene, didn't wanna do the balcony scene )

            fstkhnan.....ever heard of getting back on the horse? Life is full of dissapointments, which is why it shouldn't bother you so much. It will take over. Accept it and move on. And I bet you were much better than that girl who got picked and I bet it was you who was actually supposed to get picked......I mean, she was ugly and annoying. People like that should never get picked. lol.

            as for The Vagina Monologues...nope ckB, I for one didn't see it
            I see...

                Awww, you should've tried out for the theatre class thing!


                I was in this Armenian play freshman year of high school called 'Yergoo Nereroo Gerive'. I was the gesoor mama. Were they trying to tell me something? hehe. Anyway it was lots of fun. We did the play in front of the whole school then we went all the way to Fresno and put on for the people at Ararat Home. Ahhh, memoriiies =)

                  M. Butterfly (by Henry David Hwang) is a great play.

                  I've also read Tomson Highway's The Rez Sisters (a Native play).

                  The Importance of Being Earnest (by Oscar Wilde) is a great play.

                  I will soon be reading a play by Frank McGuiness called Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme , for my Literature of WWI class.

                  I've read half of Romeo and Juliet. *yawwwwwn*..

                  I'm also gonna be reading Othello (again for one of my courses)...

                    To add to that:

                    Arms and the Man (George Bernard Shaw)

                    Love's Labour's Lost (Shakespeare - one of the best plays by him, I think)

                    I've seen the movie of Twelfth Night, never got into reading it.

                    And the very play-like book called Kiss of the Spider Woman by Manuel Puig.

                    Oh, and another one I almost forgot,

                    Blood Relations, by Sharon Pollock.
