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.

        If you don't like this thread then cease posting instead of acting as though the conversation is beneath you.

        But having read your "bullshyt-calling outs," I must admit that they do indeed elicit many yawns (and groans).

            Although the Ottomans brought disaster to Armenia we can also learn from them

            What Ottoman policy decisions enabled them to become a superpower?

            What Armenian policy decisions resulted in Armenia losing its position as the prominent entity in central and eastern Anatolia ?

              There is nothing about the autojerk to emulate. --- nothing ---.
              They were a nomad murdering and thieving group. Opportunistic thieves who used murder and torture and fear.
              Autojerk policy ? The lowlife scum didn't have a ?policy? If you are talking about their using fear via murder and torture, then there is nothing to learn. If your talking about invading multitudes of countries and commiting murder and torture to take the wealth of the invaded countries, again that's not a ?policy?, but a criminal act committed against --- ALL --- they invaded. Not something to learn or emulate.
              If your are talking about the willingness of Europe or anyone else to deal with the murdering thieves and access all the stolen wealth for --- their benifit --- birds of a feather as bothe are conniving for their sole benifit no matter the demise of their nieghbor. Nothing to emulate by either.
              Yes, Armenia had faults. But to take that out of context and ignore the continuous assaults Armenia has suffered over the last 3,000 years (at least) is a narrow view at best.
              Al Capone was an infamous gangster who murdered freely and become very wealthy. What ? You want to study his policy too ???
              The autojerk became wealthy and successful by murder and theft of all the surrounding people's and found willing business partners in the likes of Europe , etc to share in the stolen wealth.
              That's a case study for psychiatry, not something to glean an honest viable working model for a nations conduct.

                you are mistaken!

                Yes many of them were desert herdsmen from Central Asia, primitive, cruel and illiterate. But quickly they adapted to their new environment in Anatolia and the Balkans

                Mehmed II the Conqueror is said to have spoken seven languages!

                The Ottomans were good at hiring the top engineers, shipbuilders, navigators of the day from Europe and building up the Ottoman navy to attack the Italian coast and North Africa

                J*ews expelled from Spain were invited to Istanbul and Izmir. Why? Because the Ottomans realized they could benefit from their knowledge and experience in trade, finance, medicine...

                  To be a cunning --- opportunistic MURDERING thief --- is not something to emulate or fashion a national policy by.
                  The worthless , heartless scum you refer to was a criminal of the worst sort and nothing more.
                  The lack of humanity's pursuit of honor is not something to hold up high and praise.
                  Monsanto multinational corp is highly successful by the current standards of our pathetic world.
                  Their intentions and the way they attained their wealth is not something anyone should teach their children or countrymen to praise. On the contrary.
                  To be a successful manipulator , is not something of honor.
                  You can talk that utter nonsense amongst the turcs you live with, and over the Internet. But I dought you'll get far in Greece or Hayastan , or any other place the murdering thieves were driven out.
                  You are praising a criminal and his criminal actions.
                  The turcs are a criminal interprise of many centuries and nothing more.
                  Your fishing in the toilet.

                    You cannot compare the two. One is based on monoculturalism the other is forced expansionism parasitic multiculturalism.

                      ---- parasitic ----
                      A most appropriate term for both turc & kerd.
