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.

    You dont consider Armenia your home?
    Very good question. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer. What follows is not a clear answer, but a set of - probably incomplete - clarifications.

    First of all, the emoticon suggests that it is a statement and is rather intentional than legally accepted. Sometimes, I even say - to non-Armenians - that my country is occupied and I live in exile. I should investigate if that has any legal - maybe minimal and vague - connotations or validity.

    If "Armenia" means "The Republic of North-Eastern Armenia," then I wouldn't know how to answer. We can discuss it elsewhere. I do not use the expression "The Republic of North-Eastern Armenia" to create divisions; it's mainly intended to non-Armenian audiences and the intention is to emphasize on the fact that most of our lands remain under foreign occupation.
    If "Armenia" include all Armenian lands - including those populated by *urks and Kurds in TEMPORARILY SO CALLED Turkey and Azerbaijan - Iranian or not - then my statement says an ambiguous "yes" i.e. "I'm from Armenia but live in exile."

    In any case,
    - The Diaspora is my actual home
    - I would like to live in Armenia i.e. The Republic of North-Eastern Armenia and share my life between Armenia and the Diaspora
    - I would like to spend some time in Artsakh and/or Javakhk


    Note: I have chosen to auto censor the words "*urk," "*urkish" or *urkic" because it is commonly perceived as unpleasant and offending, evokes unpleasant emotions and imagery and is pregnant with immoral and evil connotations!
    What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

        I agree Siamanto, but I think we should do as much as we can for the Armenia we have today.

          Once again, you're dreaming Siamanto. Actually, I'm the one living in exile since I can't freely travel to the vilayet of Ermenistan which is under Armenian occupation.
          Wake up.
          Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable.

            Then get your country to cease its blockade of the border, and you could freely cross into Armenia as long as you have $30 in your pocket for the visa. Or you could go into Azeri-occupied Nakhchivan for free.
            Plenipotentiary meow!
