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.

    Originally posted by chille I think in the very first steps of relationship it doesn't matter what nationality the person is, but when it comes to marriage it is important. You want your husband/wife to share the same culture with you. You want to raise your kids in the same culture as you were raised. When the parents come form different cultures it is very disturbing and very painful for the child's psychology. The child cannot identify himself with any of his parents. I would marry any Armenian, it doesnt matter where he is coming from. All that matters he is an Armenian and it means that we have something important in common.
    You're talking to a kid whose parents came from two different cultures. Not only was it not the least bit hard on my psychology, it wasn't all that hard on them either. The only difficulty they had was imposed by their own oppressive parents who attempted to force them to marry within their own race. I don't identify with any one culture. I identify with small parts of all cultures. This does not in any way decrease my sense of identity. If anything, it increases it, as my identity is almost entirely of my own choosing. I do not identify with one particular culture because it is that of my parents, or because I grew up with it, but rather I identify with that which best suits me as an individual.

    I'd appreciate it if you'd quit posting as if you knew what you were posting about. You, and I mean all of you, speculate, whereas I have been through all of this.

    Originally posted by loseyourname It is this very attitude that will cause the death of all of humanity, not just Armenians. You guys criticize the megolomania and jingoism of the United States, then you come back with this. Shame on you. This is the same way the English and the Irish feel, the same way the Arabs and the Jews feel, the same way Indians and Pakistanis feel, and this is why they kill each other.
