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 Anonymouse Do you speak Armenian or read and write it?

        If not, then I consider you French. Armenian is not just a label people forget, it is a culture, a way of thought and expressions that are inherent in the language.

        Thus it is a way of thinking and expressive yourself already predetermined in the language.
        I speak, but I hadn't had the luck to go to an armenian school. I read very slowly and write with many errors. It's just a matter of time, since I get involved in the learning these days.
        Anyway, the matter is not me. If you consider i'm french, for you only i may be french. But a culture is not so elitist and is opened to will. Even if you think that there exists a way of thinking directly linked to the language itself, which should be in fact almost true, this way of thinking is always colored by the experience you've had during your life (education, local culture...)

        What i was trying to say is that no one else than yourself may give you a "quality measure" of your culture. It's too simple to categorize people in armenian & non-armenian, but it's not so "binary". You should have much more of the armenian culture than me, but I won't consider you as being "more" armenian than me, but rather a different person. Even in armenia, some people are much more cultivated, know much more of the litterature, art... Are they more armenian than the other ones, even if they live the same place ?

        Some people in the diaspora hardly speak armenian, but are really involved in their community, or interested by this culture they have, in a certain manner, inheritated. It's certainly not their fault if they don't speak. Is this interest not enough to consider them as being armenian ?

        Their is no true or false armenian. There is men having a part of armenian culture or interest.

              I don't think that I would EVER marry a non Armenian. First off all, my parents would disown me. lol but the most important reason is that being Armenian is about marrying an Armenian and raising your kids as "Armenians." That's my point of view on that topic because I feel that if we dont marry within our own nationality our language, culture, and everything that we worked hard for will fade away.

                    Which do you prefer? The fading of your culture, which isn't going to happen simply because of the mixing of nationalities, or the continuation of your culture with no changes, but in complete isolation, self-ostracized from all others?

                      it might sound mean, but sorry pal
                      you're gonna have to teach yourself to get over the fact that at least 90% of Armenian girls end up with Armenian guys!
                      and that makes me feel all babyish happy inside
