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.

In my past expierence i can tell you that its not always a good idea to date your same ethnicity. For example I was going out with a hayastanci girl & we broke up just because Im beirutSi... so now that Im getting married to an odar we truly love eachother & are happy togheter.
    It does matter. Sadly many of the youth don't care anything beyond their prurient and hedonistic existence. They think and like to believe that nothing matters and we are all alike. Instead, peoples and cultures are like oil paint on a canvas. Do you know what happens to oil paint? Dzulvum eh. It means, it becomes diluted. Mixes on a grand scale spell the end of any nation and culture and to think otherwise is an obvious ignorance of history, biology and reality. Exceptions to the rule can exist and bask only in relation to the greater majority that still maintains itself. Once that line breaches, then you exceptions that like to bask in these things will be as good as lost. Sadly, this is the end result of the diaspora, the forsaken grounds.

      But anonympuse would you be or marry an Armenian just for the sake of being with an Armenian. If you had 2 girls liking you lets say an Armenian & a American & the armenian girl treated you like trash & the american one treated you with respect... who would you start a relationship with the armenian one just because she is armenian or with the american one thats gonna bring you happiness?

        Ithink the above is a very bad comparison, no one is saying you or anyone has to be with an Armenian who is going to treat you like crap. Not every Armenian person is like your ex gf or the like. I used to say the same thing you are saying when I was dating my "otar" bf many years ago.

        Personally I don't think I can find happiness with an otar. There will always be that part of me not belonging. But I guess it's up to the individual to see what fits best for their lifestyle. If someone can find happiness with an otar, I wish all the best to them.

        Congratulations on your upcoming wedding

          That is not how life is. Life is always about choices. I can choose to reject both of them. I would rather not marry if my only option was to marry an odar and breed half breeds. People have always loved to make excuses for love and lust, but are quick to try and reject the concept of choice, of free will. There is always a choice.

                Your example is not a real world example because it is devoid of choice. I hate hypotheticals like that that pit people in a corner because not only does it not reflect reality, but it is already conformed to a preconceived notion, i.e. the point you want to prove.

                Like I said, I have the choice to accept neither.

                  YEAH. In any multiple choice (or essay from) exam (that is the real, not binary, world), T/F, Yes/NO will get you a failing grade.

                  I don't know about the question. I think anyone with anyone really in love is great.

                    Dating non-armenians

                    This issue was probably raised in every armenian family, and from what I see, almost all armenians against it. I'm dating a non-armenian girl with whom i'm in a serious relationship, and I've had quite hostile episodes with my parents regarding this. They are so paranoid, close-minded, and disrespectful. They treat me like i'm some kind of a lunatic for choosing to be with a non-armenian, and have no regards for my feelings. It's as if they love me only if i think and act the way they do (as their so-called "traditional" armenian), otherwise they have no respect for my own thoughts. I'm not doing something unreasonable by dating a non-armenian, I see nothing wrong in that. I feel as if i'm just somekind of a tool of theirs used for the breeding of more armenian children. What indignity...

                    I don't know how to deal with them anymore, it's been alittle better lately, but there is still the tension. Will they ever get over it and accept her? Or will they remain as stubborn as they were? I know I'm not going to yield to them because they are wrong, and I won't be living a life where I am constantly dictated by rules that state how to be a "proper armenian." I think i have priority over my own rights and individuality.

                      Thats a nice story, why don't you share it with a non-Armenian forum.

                      If you think you're parents are close minded for wanting to preserve our national and cultural hertiage I think you're the one with some problems.

                      You're feelings? what are you, a sissy girl? What gives you the right to call yourself Armenian? do you think having an armenian last name makes you armenian? do you think speaking armenian makes you armenian?

                      You're a lost soul, and I'd suggest you and your kind distance yourselves from the holy Armenian name as far as possible.

                      You can go marry a Turk for all I care, b/c as an Armenian you're useless and perhaps even harmful if we go another step.

                      Please don't associate yourself with "close-minded" Armenians, we can do without disgraceful "armenians" like yourself, that is if you're even Armenian at all.
