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.

    LECTURE AT NAASR ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE BY LEMKIN AWARD-WINNER DONALD BLOXHAM


    Prof. Donald Bloxham, Professor of Modern History at the University of
    Edinburgh and currently the J. B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Senior
    Scholar-in-Residence at the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.,
    will give a lecture entitled "The Role of the Great Powers in the
    Armenian Genocide" on Thursday, June 5, at 8:00 p.m., at the National
    Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) Center, 395
    Concord Ave., Belmont, MA. This lecture will be Bloxham's first in the
    Boston area. (The lecture was originally scheduled for December 2007 and
    was postponed due to a snowstorm.)

    Bloxham is the author of the acclaimed book The Great Game of Genocide:
    Imperialism, Nationalism, and the Destruction of the Ottoman Armenians
    (Oxford Univ. Press), for which he was awarded the Raphael Lemkin Award
    for 2007 by the International Association of Genocide Scholars.

    Interaction Between Ottoman Empire and Great Powers

    Bloxham has written, "The project from which the book evolved originally
    intended to focus upon Turkish denial of the Armenian genocide, and
    Western acceptance of that denial. But it soon became clear that denial
    and its accommodation could not be properly understood without knowledge
    of how the outside world related to the deeds of the Ottoman Empire
    during and immediately after the First World War ... [and that] it was
    impossible to explain this pattern of interaction between the Ottoman
    state and the 'Great Powers' in the Armenian Question up to and during
    the genocide."

    Bloxham is the youngest full professor of history in the UK and the
    winner of several prizes and honors for his work in addition to the
    Lemkin Award for genocide scholarship. He is also the author of
    Genocide on Trial: War Crimes Trials and the Formation of Holocaust
    History and Memory, The Holocaust: Critical Historical Approaches (with
    Tony Kushner), and the forthcoming Genocide, the World Wars, and the
    Unweaving of Europe. He is also author of nearly fifty articles and
    book chapters, and serves on the editorial board of four journals:
    Holocaust Studies, Patterns of Prejudice, Zeitschrift für
    Genozidforschung, and the Journal of Genocide Research.

    The NAASR Center is located opposite the First Armenian Church and next
    to the U.S. Post Office. Ample parking is available around the building
    and in adjacent areas. The lecture will begin promptly at 8:00 p.m.

    More information about the lecture is available by calling 617-489-1610,
    faxing 617-484-1759, e-mailing [email protected], or writing to NAASR, 395
    Concord Ave., Belmont, MA 02478.
