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.

    Mouradian Named Seventh Arsham and Charlotte Ohanessian Lecturer
    By Weekly Staff • on June 3, 2009 •

    MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (A.W.)—Armenian Weekly editor Khatchig Mouradian was recently named the Seventh Arsham and Charlotte Ohanessian Lecturer at the University of Minnesota. His talk, titled “What’s in a Name?: The Adoption of ‘Genocide’ to Describe the Annihilation of the Armenians in 1915-16,” will explore the various terms Armenians have used to describe the catastrophe that befell them in 1915-16, and the way the term “genocide” was incorporated into the discourse of Armenian newspapers.

    Mouradian is a journalist, writer, and translator. He was an editor of the Lebanese-Armenian Aztag Daily from 2000-07, when he moved to Boston and assumed the editorship of the Armenian Weekly. Mouradian’s articles, interviews, and poems have appeared in publications worldwide and been translated to many languages. He has lectured extensively and participated in conferences in Armenia, Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, and the United States.

    The Arsham and Charlotte Ohanessian Lectures result from a generous gift by Arsham Ohanessian to the College of Liberal Arts of the University of Minnesota. Previous speakers include Prof. Peter Balakian, Prof. Richard Hovannisian, and Etyen Mahcupyan.

    Arsham Ohanessian was a successful businessman and avid musician. He was devoted to maintaining the memory of the Armenian Genocide as a way of promoting peaceful reconciliation among peoples. His gift to the University of Minnesota supports a wide range of educational, research, and public programs concerning ethnic and national conflicts and human rights.

    The lecture will be held on June 17 at 7:30 p.m. in the Mississippi Room at Coffman Union, East Bank Campus, at the University of Minnesota.
    "All truth passes through three stages:
    First, it is ridiculed;
    Second, it is violently opposed; and
    Third, it is accepted as self-evident."
