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.

  • First Group of Armenian Athletes Return from Beijing

    YEREVAN (Armenpress)--The first group of Armenian athletes Tuesday returned from Beijing, including five athletes who won bronze medals. All were given a warm welcome at Yerevan's Zvartnots airport.

    Weightlifter Gevork Davtian, who won a bronze medal in 77 kg weight division, said he tried hard to win the gold. “But I realize that an Olympic bronze medal is also a significant award,” he said.

    Tigran Martirosian, another weightlifter, who won the bronze in the 69 kg weight category, said the competition was very tough in Beijing.

    Wrestler Roman Amoyan, another bronze medallist, said next time he will win gold.

    With five bronze medals Armenia is thus far ranked in 65th place.
    Positive vibes, positive taught

          the first ranking system (putting infinite prestige on a single silver medal one by a nation when compared to nations that only have won bronze like Armenia) doesn't rank based on how many medals a country wins, which imo sheds more light on the performance of a national team as a whole.

          I'm more content with the ranking by total medals, in which Armenia is 26th, not bad.

            I'm more content with a third kind of ranking (which is the fairest and should be applied everywhere) and that is the counting of medals per capita. Obivously, a country like Armenia cannot win as many medals as China but it can beat it based on the number of athletes it sends, the number of population it has all compared to the number of medals you win. By this ranking, Armenia is first (or 2nd .. Slovenia might've taken the lead) and USA and China are ranked in the 30s and 40s
            Azerbaboon: 9.000 Google hits and counting!

              I like your ranking too Federate haha. But at the end of the day I want to see more money spent on sports programs in Armenia. Also, I'd like to see more Diaspora athletes compete for Armenia.
              For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
              to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.
