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.

            US Women's gymnastics reclaims a medal position by taking the silver in the team finals. Romania repeated the gold. USA could have taken the gold if it wasn't for critical tenths of points taken off for numerous faults. Congrats to them!

              I'm glad they didn't. There's nothing more pathetic than a professional athlete showing up at the olympics and destroying what is truely pure and special about these contests.

                instead of having a team comprised of role players who can produce, they decided to pick players that sell jerseys....good marketing

                  FROM THE EUROPEAN OLYMPIC COMMUNITIES SITE

                  BREIF HISTORY OF ARMENIA'S OLYMPIC TRADITION

                  The history of Armenian sport takes it's beginning from ancient times. Sport in Armenia always was a one of the most important elements of the state's life. The traditional national festival of sport and art "Navasard" were a big success in the country like the famous Olympic Games in Greece.

                  Armenian sport had a strong reputation in the ancient sports world. The names of Armenian King Trdat of Arshakouni, who became the winner of the 265th Olympic Games in wrestling in 281 A.D. and King Varazdat, who was the champion of 291st Olympic Games in fighting (modern boxing) became the legends and symbols of Armenian sports history.

                  After the loss of statehood in the Middle Ages, the Armenian people didn't loose their love for sports. There were many national sport clubs and teams in many other countries where Armenians were living before the restoration of Armenian Statehood in 1918. That historic period was critical for the young Republic. The famous question of prince Hamlet, "to be or not to be", was very real for Armenia. But sport continued its life in the country.

                  The revival of statehood was a historical date for Armenian sport and it was not by accident at all that Armenia has always been one of the leading sports republics of the ex-USSR. Herein are only some facts that generally illustrate the sports history.

                  Thirty-five Armenian sportsmen have taken part in all the Olympic Games. Twelve of them won the champion's title 16 times, 14 sportsmen won 15 times silver and bronze medals in Olympiads, 23 sportsmen won 42 world championships, 37 sportsmen became European champions 55 times and 18 sportsmen won 22 World Cups.

                  Many of them are taking an active part not only in Armenian sports, but also in the life of international sports. The names of Olympic champions such as Hrant Shahinyan and Albert Azaryan (gymnastics), Vladimir Yengibaryan (boxing), Hrachya Petikyan (shooting), Yuri Vardanyan (weightlifting), World and European champions Benur Pashayan (wrestling) Yuri Sarkisyan (weightlifting), boxers Israel Akopkokhyan and Nshan Mounchyan and many others are well known in the sports world.

                  Armenian sport has earned a high reputation in the Summer Olympic Games of Barcelona '92 that was confirmed after the proclamation of Independence of Armenia in '91. Five Armenian athletes took part in the Olympiad and four of them earned three gold and one silver medal.

                  The National Olympic Committee of Armenia was founded in October 1991.
                  However September of 1993 became the historical date for Armenian sport. This was when the International Olympic Committee recognised the Armenian NOC. And in February 1994, the Republic of Armenia debuted for the first time in an Olympiad (winter Olympic Games-94 in Lillehammer) as an independent state and became integrated into the International Olympic Family.

                  Now Armenia not only is going to send athletes abroad for participation but also hopes to host international competitions. There are many high-class sports arenas in Armenia which were the sites of many prestigious tournaments. Among these there are "Hrazdan" stadium, Tsakhadzor sports base, velodrome, "Tzitzernakaberd" sport hall and many others.

                  An official IOC delegation has visited Armenia and the President, H.E. Juan Antonio Samaranch, President of the ANOC Mr. Mario Vazquez-Raņa, EOC President, Dr. Jacques Rogge, and other members of the delegation became acquainted with the current sports situation in Armenia. The delegation's visit was very useful and lifted the hopes for all the Armenian people because the leaders of the international Olympic Organisations have promised to support sport in Armenia. The IOC, EOC, and ANOC always were helping the NOC of Armenia and it was very important for national sports.

                  The Armenian people are grateful to all the International Olympic Family for this backing. The NOC of Armenia, all sports organisations and sportsmen in the Republic are preparing for their participation in the international competitions. In spite of the economic crisis, blockades, the lack of many important products, electricity and gas, our sportsmen aimed for a worthy representation in '94 for the centennial year. And also for the 100 year anniversary of the founding of the modern Olympic games in '96. The two important dates in the world's sports history.

                  The Armenian sports organisations and sportsmen have began a dedicated preparation for the Olympic Games in Sydney 2000. The President, Mr. Benur Pashayan, and the Secretary General, Mr. Nshan MUNCHYAN, are proudly looking forward to continuing the NOC's tradition in these upcoming Games.
