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.

    ON HISTORIANS
    *************************************
    The credibility of historians, even the best
    among them, has been questioned by fellow
    historians since the beginning of historiography.
    Herodotus, “the father of historians,” has also
    been called “the father of lies.” More recently,
    Arnold J. Toynbee, one of the greatest historians
    of the 20th Century, has been dismissed as “a
    prophet of mumbo jumbo.” And consider the case of
    Edward Gibbon (1737-1794): in his universally
    acclaimed DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE,
    he portrays Romans as the good guys and
    Christians as the villains. To say that Armenian
    historians are more trustworthy than Herodotus,
    Gibbon, and Toynbee is to certify our status as
    perennial dupes.

          INTOLERANCE
          ************************
          Intolerance makes men stupid. You can guess a man’s IQ fairly accurately by the manner in which he welcomes new ideas.
          *
          At least once every day we should remind ourselves of the vastness of the universe and our own insignificance in it....
          *
          Inaction can create as many problems as wrong action.
          *
          Some of the greatest men in the history of mankind were persecuted, even executed, for daring to challenge the authority of the 1%. What does that tell you about the IQ of mankind?

              I put my trust only in men who speak against
              their own interests. Or, in the words of
              Jean-Paul Sartre on the final page of his
              memoirs: “I depend only on men who depend on God
              and I don’t believe in God.”

                ***************************************
                NOTES / COMMENTS
                ******************************
                We are born and raised
                with all the complexes and contradictions
                of our environment.
                Sanity is a slowly and painfully acquired possession.
                This is widely know by shrinks.
                The reason why it is not mentioned
                and discussed more often is that
                there is no money in it.
                You can’t tell a man, “If you are insane
                it’s because your parents were insane,”
                and expect him to pay a hefty bill.
                *
                Turks are eager to inform us
                Turks did not massacre Armenians.
                It was the other way around.
                To which I can only say,
                if Armenians massacred Turks it’s because
                for 600 years Turks were their masters
                and role models.
                *
                I expect little or nothing from Armenians
                born and raised in the Ottoman Empire
                and the Soviet Union.
                I expect more, much more, from Armenians
                born and raised in America.
                &
                I have yet to meet an Armenian
                with “leadership qualities” who wasn’t a xxxx.

                  ON IDENTITY
                  ***************************
                  The men who shaped our identity and character
                  were not Armenian but mongrels
                  like Sultan Abdulhamid II.
                  *
                  Has anyone ever identified himself as a mongrel?
                  And yet, the world is full of them.
                  *
                  Most Armenians hate what I write.
                  They prefer to read about nightingales
                  serenading the moon.
                  *
                  What have we learned from history?
                  Can we be smart if we are unteachable?
                  *
                  The only reason I am Armenian is that
                  one of my ancestors decided to identify himself
                  as one.
