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.

    I dont think the race matters. If you met someone who was perfect for you, but was of a different race or ethnic groups, what are you supposed to do? Settle for less in those respects so they can be armenian?

    Culture isn't innate. If you marry someone else and have a children, they can still learn about the armenian culture.

      Oh man...we need to get a grip. Do you honestly believe that you can't control your feelings? I mean, if you REALLY want to be with an Armenian and know that it's the best thing for you, how can you NOT be? LOL I feel like human beings have been fed so much garbage about romance and love and how it all makes us so f*ckin blind...C'mon! I don't see (no pun intended) what the big idea is! What pisses me off is when people use that as a stupid asss excuse to betray us. Within the past year, I have heard about at least a dozen people getting into relationships with "odars"...it's just ONE BIG MESS! I remember a couple of years ago, there was this Italian girl who I met and she was telling me how her and her friends go around Glendale, trying to pick up Armenian guys..LOL I was stunned to find out why:

      1. They are all hot as hell (i knew that)
      2. They drive nice cars
      3. They dress nice (yes she was talking about the Rabies)
      4. They are good in bed..
      5. They are suckers for odars.

      She was telling me this and this was my face>> <<<What the hell is this big ass nasty girl talking about? She was like, "If I were you, I'd be careful, we're gonna take all your men away"...Of course all I did was laugh, but then I wondered... what if......



      I think Armenians need to stick to Armenians darnit!

        I do not have an issue with interracial relationships. Date who you want; marry who you want. I would date a non-Armenian, and have. However, I would not want to marry a non-Armenian and I would prefer that other Armenians would feel the same way. But, I cannot say that there is something wrong with some random German dating some random Columbian.

        It might seem a bit draconian of me to be taking such a conservative stance on this topic but my opinion is based on the belief that any society and culture will crumble overtime with the production of hybrid offspring.
        A belief based on what? The historically numerous collapses of societies that allowed interracial marriage? Pure bullshyt. Oh, and children of more than one race are not hybrids. You are using rhetoric to drive a ridiculous point. The fact remains that there is no reason to discourage interracial relationships beyond your personal view of what is ideal as culture. No facts exist to say that one is better or more right than the other.

          There are people who are culture creating, and culture bearing. The two are entirely different. Each culture is a reflection of the people that create them, not the other way around.

            All societies that eventually mix, collapse, because the people, and the culture that the original people created, dilute. This pattern can be seen everywhere throughout history. Multiracial, multicultural societies are not healthy but sick, and usually mark the end or aging periods of civilizations. Those who believe "race does not matter", need to have a reality check, because it is precisely those people that stand to face extinction in the near millenium. With that said, I never said I am forcing people to marry Armenians. That would go against my ethics. The best I can do is persuade them to my point of view, via reason. I only stated I do not agree with it. Otherwise they are free to do as they please.

              interracial relationships are waay too complicated- a relationship in itself with an armenian is complicated enough i think... well i've gone through that stage where i though i would never ever get with an armo guy, because the ones that are around are xxxxxxxs-- ive had my share of those-- but ive also had alot of guy friends who were ot armo, but they were totally cool and had the chance to date a few- but i jsut couldnt put myself in that position- i dunno its just weird for me- but i guess for other people- if they are in a interracial relationship, i wouldnt look down upon it- that's just how they wanna "doo their thang"-- but I would feel too awkward in such a situation--
              i myself also agree with the idea of only marrying an aremnian, because if we don't keep our race and heritage, who will?

                There is such a thing as marrying someone who is not Armenian and still raising your children to know, love, and preserve the Armenian race, culture, history, and heritage.

                  I don't think that's possible. It would only be academic and not a gut level knowledge.

                    You might not be able to do it, but you're wrong, it IS possible.

                      Only in wishful thinking is that possible.
