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.

    Armenia - the only place in the world where a "wrong-number" phone call can become a 20 min pleasant conversation!

    so true.
    by the way has anyone ever gotten a phone call and the people started speaking in Armenian or Russian for example, and it turned out being a wrong number?
    this happened to me twice with an Armenian person and twice with a russian person. its hilarious when you look at the sheer odds and how small they are.

      I've had quite a few wrong number armenians, and it's very weird, because both sides are determined that they have the right number.

      Caller: Parev, garogh em Hagopin hed khosil?

      Me: (knowing that there is no Hagop, but sure that he just made a mistake in pronouncing the name) Voroo hed? Vrouyri hed?

      Caller: Ché, Hagopin

      Me: (still not understanding that it's a wrong call) Ov e khosoghe?

      etc, etc...

      We turn out to be cousins in the long run anyways...

        We get alot of those too, but i live in Glendale so this is common here. Although it is soo true about the wrong number in Armenia, because when i visited Armenia (which was incredible and if i could i would move back in a second) I was staying at my morkurs house and we would get a wrong number call often and one time i picked up and it was an Armenian girl and we ended up talking for like an hour, and it turned out that she was from Komitas and when i lived in Armenia back 14 years ago i lived in Komitas and it also turned out we played together and were friends back then. Small world!

          At times like this, we smile, lightly shake our heads, and say...

          Only in Armenia!

            Tell me about it. I miss it Baron, i miss the walks in the parks and the old ladies selling shemushka and the nights spent at Opera walking around with the jahelutsun, i miss monument and eshmiatsin and garni gexhart, i miss the excessive amounts of gatherings with families and the FOOD the incredible FOOD. I miss the rocky streets that are impossible to drive on, the cars (zap,06, 07, niva) ofcoarse the shukaner, the stores that look like downtown, diskatsekaner@, and especially being able to look out through any balcony and seeing the amazing Masis and sis, it looks like a painting floating in the air. I MISS EVERYTHING MANNNNN.

                    Summer 2003! Next time will probably be summer 2005, though I want to tour eastern europe and Russia before getting to Armenia.
