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.

      Apple pie? Nothing but a bastardization of the traditional Pievania dish

          Have you been to Italy to judge if actual Italian cuisine is better than in New York?

          • Seriously, this thread again? well, if we must...

            I just made a post about this subject matter over at armenianchat.com, so I'll repost it here:

            There are certain luxuries in life groups of people can afford to have. Armenians can't afford these luxuries yet seem to think they can. If a Korean and a Greek get married, it's really not THAT big of a deal. Korea and Greece are not in danger of disapearing tomorrow and in need of proud nationalistic Koreans and Greeks to defend it, and the language and cultures of those two races will be upheld whether or not SOME people decide to be "deviant" and break tradition.

            Armenians on the other hand CAN'T afford this luxury. As one of the smallest minorities in the world, we must be very protective of our culture, our history, AND our genes... all things that so many of us like handing out like Candy.

            It's sad that we can't be like a hive mind. The fact that we have people saying "what I do is my business and none of yours so butt out!" saddens me a bit. No, if you're Armenian then what you do is VERY much my business, and you can be held accountable to me, just as I am to be held accountable to you.

            We often make fun of Jews, but despite what you might think of their past, to be completely blunt they are THE best at upholding culture out there. Practically every Jewish kid by the age of thirteen has been to Israel at least once and has learned about their culture IN their homeland. How many diasporan Armenians have EVER been to Armenia? Every Jew I know, from every economic level, buys "Israel bonds." How many Armenians, on this board, buy Armenian bonds? Almost every Jewish kid I know, whether they observe or not, at least KNOW most of the Jewish traditions and cultural rituals. How many American Armenians follow ANY traditions?

            Now before this turns into a Jew-bashing and "don't compare us to them!" fest, trust me, I am not saying we should be like the Jews, not at all, so don't waste posts barking up that tree. But you have to admit... they know how to keep their next generation very well educated on who and what they are, meanwhile my cousin doesn't know ANYTHING about being Armenian other than how to speak a little and that she likes the taste of dolma.

            "Armenians" are not some existential idea that will fix it self... WE are Armenians. if we want things to change in the Armenian community, then WE have to do it. *Gets into his best smokey-the-bear stance* Only YOU can prevent cultural collapse.

            p.s.
            I have to agree a bit with "Miss Gemini." For some reason modern Armerican Armenian men are acting a lot less noble than our heritage dictates. What's wrong with you guys? Do you want to celebrate your grandchild's 6th birthday by lake Van with it back in OUR name once again when you're an old man or not? Stop this b*tch-slapping armo pimp bullsh*t now, or I'll shoot you f*ckers myself. Only thing worse than an Azeri is a fake-Armenian that watches too much god damn B.E.T.

                Let me add to this, speaking for myself of course. The reason I never went to Armenia was because of financial reasons. It had nothing to do with me loving my culture any less because I havnt gone.

                Second....again im speaking for myself......My family follows a lot of Armenian traditions.




                P.S...thanks for posting this HyeJinx..bc you are right on the money..especaily with the B.E.T thing..that made me laugh...cause it so true...OOooo but soo sad!

                    I meant it as a generalization, but I'm very happy to know you're an exception to that.
