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.

    I did not want to start a new thread so i put this article here.
    THE WORLD CHAMPION IS LEAVING ARMENIA. THE REASON IS THE INDIFFERENCE BY THE STATE SPORTS DEPARTMENT

    May 5 2014

    Recently, the President of Armfighting federation Hayk Ghukasyan
    announced that the world champion by ProFc David Khachatryan last
    time will act in the defense fight for the championship belt with the
    Turkish opponent in the city of Yaroslavl on May 11 under the flag of
    Armenia. "After that, David will enter the Octagon as a representative
    of the Russian Federation," said the coach of the champion. Aravot.am
    was excited about this statement, even though Hayk Ghukasyan and
    David Khachatryan had hinted on it during the press conference held
    after the next victory in Russia, on April, noting that if Armenia
    offers the athlete at least 10 percent of conditions offered by Russia
    and Iran, David will definitely stay in Armenia. Today, during the
    conversation held in Armfighting federation, Hayk Ghukasyan said
    to Aravot.am, "What we have accomplished until now, we had done is
    solely on our resources. We have not received a penny from the state
    as support. The athlete's life in sports is short. Moreover, in the
    professional martial arts, where each fight in the ring is full of
    health hazards. David is already 26 years old, with a family and a
    child.And endangering his health, he earns by fighting. During all
    this time, we had solved all the problems together with our existing
    capabilities. Now, his status is quite different. David is a world
    renowned fighter, and it has been for three years that many countries
    are interested in his services. In the meantime, there had been
    numerous proposals. But we have rejected for the sake of Armenia, and
    the honor of the Armenia sporting flag... and have got zero attention
    and attitude. There has been no penny of state funding. Moreover,
    I was told at the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs that the IOC
    does not accept general fighting as a sport game. To a certain extent,
    I agree. But, the Ministry is also involved in education issues
    of the youth, isn't it. More than thousands of boys and young men
    getting trained in the branches of the Federation throughout Armenia,
    possessing the alphabet and nuances of the so-called "fighting",
    afterwards they start preventing the street fights. As for David,
    he is not an ordinary athlete anymore. He has a stable place in
    the world's elite. And it is not in vain that Russia and Iran were
    persistently pursuing for three years to acquire him, offering ideal
    conditions. What? Don't they know that our sport is not an Olympic?

    Even now, I am reluctantly going for this step. But there is no
    alternative. Let it not seem immodest, but today athletes of seven
    countries willingly are trained in the small area rented at No. 188
    School by our Federation, and are willing to act under the flag of
    Armenia. Whereas we... We do not devote much attention to our world
    champion. I am no more able to tell by world champion trained here in
    Armenia to stay, if he cannot be paid to meet the minimum necessary
    requirements. One more thing. David Khachatryan is not one of the
    athletes who hold one or two fights in the professional ring and
    then submit arrogant demands. In the professional ring, a record is
    registered next to his name: 15 wins and 2 losses. Moreover, winning
    the current world champions. Four more wins were not registered. And
    the two losses were the result of bias. In fact, recently the coach of
    one of these two "happy men" admitted in front of the camera that David
    had actually won his trainee, but the victory was taken away from him."
