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.

    If you´re confused and don´t know what you want, no biggie, happens to us all..
    I´m not saying armo girls are a sealed deal, but they are generally more reliable than other nationalities.

    KanadaHye jan, go to www.birthrightarmenia.org and find out about the program. It will really jump-start your identity, and you will know where your roots are. It's a minimum 2-month volunteerism in Armenia. You can do whatever it is in your field, I'm sure they can find a placement for you in one of the programs. They will pay for your plane tickets! YES! They will! They will take the biggest expenses out of coming to Armenia, and in return you will volunteer through various organizations here. I think it will help you and others like you living in Canada or the USA. Hope I could help

After this, there is an introduction between the potential couple. i would think that this practice would be more common because, like you said, introductions are already used.
    I think that's called a sperm bank

    Depends on your definition of an arranged marriage. A lot of times Armenians get introduced to other Armenians at functions or through friends/family. If your mind is set on marrying another Armenian, it only makes sense to hang out in places where you'll meet other Armenians. However, it's not like they are forced arranged marriages. We don't show up on the alter and get unveiled to some hideous monster (I say that in the most sympathetic way, lol). Lots of cultures historically don't believe in 'love' so they at least make sure that the woman isn't marrying some vagabond. I'm sure there are thousands of cases where marriages took place for immigration purposes as well. In fact, I'm considering putting in my order for a mail order bride in the upcoming years

    Hmm... very deep, both of you.

    so to tie this back to topic (i'm new thus i need to obey forum rules exceptionally well! =P)....

    KanadaHye very nicely summarized: It takes people to create a culture and that culture breeds a certain identity.

    If this is indeed the case, i am curious to know that with all the pressure you guys face to marry another Armenian, why hasn't arranged marriages appeared in your history? Or has it and I just happened to never find it?
