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.

        Who is the soccer player that Ruben says isn't an Armenian?
        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.

          Denis Tumasyan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Tumasyan

          What happened with him was a few years ago when Armenia was doing bad they invited him to come and play for us. He rejected saying he wants to play for Russia. Now after Armenia improved and he never received the call from Russia he apologized and stated he wants to play for Armenia. The whole thing about him not being Armenian i dont quite understand. They say he is adopted or his father was adopted by an Armenian, something like that.

            Would he be a good addition to the team? I'd really like to see Joaquin B join the team. His height alone would present problems for opposing teams.

              Joaquin is not going to start as long as Forlan, Suarez and Cavani are playing. He won't be benefiting anyone if he stays in Uruguay.

                I havent seen him play so i cant say. We have good youth defenders so i would say no, especially after he rejected the call up when we needed him most.

                  Last i heard Joaquin was strugling in Austria. I hope he has improved since but his unwillingness to join our nt i did not like. I cant wait to see the OB one in action though.

                    The one thing to remember about diaspora Armenian players is that many of them do not speak Armenian and also play/reside in nations with
                    established soccer programs with great success one example being Joaquin Boghossian in Uruguay. Its hard to pass up playing for Uruguay, Holland,
                    Russia, etc if you have a chance to make the squad and this is the country where you grew up. That being said, I don't think we can shrug off players who find that there only shot to playing for a national side is to play for Armenia. They are using Armenia but Armenia is benefitting from them in terms of experience, notoriety, skill level, development, etc that they can
                    bring to Armenia. They are helping build a national program that can be relied upon in the future. Armenia's success is only very recent and still precarious. These men are taking a risk and should not be shunned.

                      In fact, Armenia should invite Yuri Djorkaeff and Alain Boghossian as soccer ambassadors or in some coaching capacity for the Armenian side if at all possible. One thing is certain, Armenia/Armenians have the players in Armenia and worldwide to be a great soccer nation. I used to have my doubts but now I know its true. Too bad Andranik Teymourian cannot play for Armenia.
