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.

    This won't happen though

    Omg your so funny. I dont think she would want to be in an arranged married if she was smart and had a good job. hahahaa........oo but we can only dream!
    You can't hold a man down without staying down with him.

      My parents had arranged marriage, and it turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to them.

      But personally, I'd like to meet myself that certain person and later to ask their opinion about him.

        This is why 'most guys' are idiots.

          I am not saying that all arranged marriages are happy and successful. However, there are a lot of people who had an arranged marriage and it worked out for them. They learnt how to respect and love each other eventually. The chances of arranged marriage to fall apart are the same as the chances of marriage by love. As if there are no people who loved each other and still got divorced?

            whats the difference anyway.
            your whole life is already planned. man do not act free, they are deluded that their act free but they are actually controled by their hormones.
            you falling in love is not planned by you, its spontaneous. you dont have control over your emotions. people dont go around picking people that they are gonna love.
            personally my parents are not really big "wife pickers". but if they advice me a girl, i would be interested. why not. so its really a hypothetical question.

                well your pick is usually unwise. thats why many cultures have arranged marriages, because parents know better.
                remember even a pagan father doesnt feed his son rock instead of bread. its a biological bond

                  No way, i wouldn't consider an arranged marriage if my life depended on it. Im very sure my parents can pick a great wife for me, but thats just not me. I grew up in Canada, it makes us totally different ppl unfortunately. Heck my oldest brother and my 2 sisters have diff. outlooks on life because of the ages we all arrived here. Im the youngest one out of 4. My oldest 2 siblings have pretty much the same views on life. The 3rd sister is 28 and she has a bit more Candianized. I came to Canada when i was 7 an there are light years of diff. between me and my oldest sibling. Imagine the diff. from me to my parents. So just imagine what kinda girl they would pick for me.
