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.

    We're not lab rabbits trying to populate the world with Armenians. You can't say whoops, sorry, I can't marry you even though I love you because I was born Armenian and there is a big book of rules that says every Armenian must marry an Armenian and have 5 kids. Some people, by chance, meet and fall in Love with people who aren't Armenian. This does not in any way diminish their 'Armenian conscience' or 'Armeniannes'. This makes them human and vulnerable to falling in love no holds barred, no rules, no restrictions. The difference between you and I, Mouse, is that while, just like you, I AM going to marry an Armenian and financial situation willing I AM going to have at least 3 kids, I would NEVER judge someone because they didn't do that or follow that same path. You are too judgemental. I'd be curious to see the day you fall in love with someone who is not Armenian, which, mind you, can happen even if you take every precaution against it.

    Beyond that, the idea that such an Armenian from a mixed family would be any less capable of contibuting to society as an Armenian and of being just as strong in his/her Armenianness is just ridiculous.

      Doesn't concern me? Is there anyone else on these forums who is the product of an interracial marriage? Perhaps you misnamed the thread, because it seems to be just another (about the 400th or so) discussion of whether or not Armenians should marry non-Armenians.

        Yes but their success as a contributing society is a new story. The Filipino's, before the Spanish conquered them, were probably very homogenous. That is no reason to respect a society. Society and culture are not one and the same.

          marrying someone because they are armenian, is wrong, marrying out of love is right.

          have you heard about staying together just for the sake of the children when youre marriage falls into pieces. this is very usual in armenian homes, I know for a fact myself.its something that destorys anyone, armenian or not.

          And thats why the indivual comes firstly, the hell with all" the traditions".to be armenian is synonom of beeing shaped in a certain way ...well how is that going to happen when its forced upon you to keep that tradition alive.
          its impossible-.

                let's not be so quick to judge someone's armenian consciousness by who they marry...maybe someone keeps meeting a-hole armos! what can they do?? ...then they happen to meet a nice non-armo and he's great and respectful and is willing to do what none of those armenians do and opens his heart and offers his love! what then?...life is not so black and white! (no pun intended there)..it would be nice if armenians respected and appreciated one another more instead of trying 'all flavors under the sun' all in the name of fun and then wanting to marry an armenian...how gross!!!

                  WOW. This thread is like a chatroom, except with proper grammar and capitaliziation. Every minute there's a post, untl you get to page 5. haha. I guess I'll just add a post on how I see this.

                  Yes, my parents dissaprove of interracial relationships but that is not the main reason why I will not date anyone outside of my race or ethnicity. One of the reasons is tradition and culture. Yes, a lot of couples compromise, but I don't want that. I am an Armenian girl and follow most of Armenian traditions. Being with a non Armenian who does not know Armenian customs and traditions is out of the question. Compromise may be done, but I don't want 50/50. As just for dating, well, getting attached to a non Armenian is not only pointless, but hurtful too.

                  This doesn't make sense. Why date someone if you're going to have to break it off with them sooner or later? Think of the other person in the relationship.
                  I see...

                    yes! precisely! and if they can just 'date' an odar, they can also just 'date' an armenian! so just cuz a guy's armo, doesn't mean he has intentions of marriage!

                      I think what he meant to say is "Do whomever you want, but marry an Armenian."
