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.

    Just Married :)

    Hello everyone,

    I am Armenian from Iran and I've been living in U.S with my family for 5 years. I just got married and my husband and I worked really hard to make this marriage to happen. My family had a HARD time accepting the fact that their only daughter is getting married to an odar ( yap, that’s right ) and they kept blaming themselves. I guess it’s because I had never done anything weird and non acceptable in my whole life. I had always been the good girl and the girl for others to look up to in my huge family. I got a job over at Walt Disney co. and now it’s been 3 years I am working here, I study computer programming/Animation and I got my own BMW from the dealership and everyone was proud of me.
    Well these all changed when I felt in love with an odar, we were Disney co-workers. The whole family (cousins+friends) started talking about it and saying bad things about me, because he was an odar. They would talk behind my back, things like I was not a virgin anymore and that I was living with him. Anyway, I had a very hard dating days, having to hear the family talk and then knowing that my family wished I was with an Armenian

    BUT, I did what I wanted to do, because I had faith on us. We got married and during the time we dated I did NOT do anything “none Armenian”, I stayed a virgin and never lived with him. He has been learning Armenian ever since we met and he is a very respectful guy.. I am prd2bhye and will always stay hye, and I don’t care what my huge family says, their kids don’t even speak Armenian and my American husband does! LOL! So what the hell with what they say!

    I can say that things aren’t as easy as we thought it would be now that we are married. We have our differences and sometimes it’s really hard for us to understand each other because we are coming from 2 very different cultures. Even thought I am married to him doesn’t mean I will become an American all of a sudden and will forget the Armenian culture and I can say I want things to be Armenian as much as they can be American. Like I cook and make Armenian food and cakes, I take him to Armenian concerts and listen to Armenian music. At least now I am married and no one can say non true stuff. The one thing that I hate about Armenians = " gossip "

      Well good for you. But you go on about yourself just a little. It seems you have alot of guilt stored up to go on like that.

              When two individuals are strong enough to face through even their own families accusations and battles, they are truley meant for one another. It is a blessing... A sign of commitment....Congradulations and God bless.

              All the best!

                Congrats! Don't sweat it. If it's ment to work out, it will. If not, there's nothing you can do But seriously, marriage is no picnic, even if it's between two people from the same village. For you two, it's a test of your love. Personally, I think our cultures are similar enough that it could work, not like between an American and a Muslim. However, again personally, I would insist very strongly that my kids (future ones) marry only Armenians. I would be like Guss from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".

                    Marry an odar? No big deal if you ask me. Marrying a Disney coworker, though, doesn't strike me as the wisest decision. I've only worked in the theme parks, though. I'm sure it's much different in animation.
