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.

  • Eurovision Politics and everything but the song!

    Since Europe is so progressive how did they manage to give the contest to azeribaboonistan?



    Why did azerbaboonistan get the award? For Euro values? For democracy? ( holding side in pain from laughing )

    So who left Greece?, sorry correction let me say this in a more truthful way, who robbed Greece? Who abandoned Greece? After robbing them of everything?

      Being robbed from birth of every last trace of musical talent and taste is a requirement for Eurovision.

        Greece’s entry, Alcohol is Free, sung by the group Koza Mostra and noted Rembetika player and singer Agathon Iakovides makes plenty of reference to the era of austerity in Greece, where pay cuts, tax hikes and slashed pensions have people so worried about survival they’re more likely to sing the blues.

          True.

          The 2007 Ukrainian entry remains the contest's high point.

              It was a relief to see the baboons lose. Usually I cherish them hosting contests and tournaments because their idiotic dictator wastes their resources and overspends like a fool, like a teenager trying to impress girls with his car. For example, they like spent several hundreds of millions of dollars last year, while Sweden spent about $22 million this year ( http://www.tol.org/client/article/23...ar-winner.html ). Unfortunately, this year they would already have most of the infrastructure in place, so we wouldn't be able to take refuge in the fact that their moronic man-child dictator would be further hurting them by hosting it. It would just be free tourism for the morons.

              The contest's political nature though is a total sham
              example of countries who voted Azerbaijan as the best: Israel, Hungary, Georgia

              I wonder if Eurovision was a specific article in Ramil Safarov's release contract

              What do you guys think of the prospect of Armenia ever winning?
              would it be a positive economically and politically in terms of tourism and publicity for the country, or would the cost be not worth it?

                In my view:
                We must continue to participate, since it is a kind of 'Euro' circle, plus it forces their regime to spent millions...

                But we must not only forget about winning, but make the minimum fuss out of this (used by our own regime as a delusion from real problems for months), an more so, spent the minimum possible. As do most real European states.... where they remember Eurovision for one evening, and with sarcastic smiles...., on one channel, at late hours! (the brits even recycled Bony Tyler from the ashes of 30 years of rust )
                If we are wise, and admitting by advance the impossibility to win, we can even use the process for Pan-Armenian internal propaganda, with a real Armenian song and clip, not unisex EU standard in english +/- alaturka accents like it was a couple years back with the 2 sisters...., or even external, with a indirect and shocking presentation in 2015, by making a lithurgy in memoriam... in the middle of gay bands and unisex exhibitionists...??

                    Exactly
                    If you want to actually have a unique and different presentation, and do your absolute best, how about you perform in your native language, your proud language that has a heritage that dates back thousands of years before English, instead of the euro duplicate performance with accented english.

                    Also the idea of having a 2015 performance about the Armenian Genocide would be absolute brilliant, and it would be well received in European society that favors us over the Turks in spite of all of their bribes and threats.
