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.

  • Re: crackpots

    From our millionaires, we want money.
    From our bishops, constant reminders of our moral superiority.
    From our fund-raisers, declarations of our generosity.
    From our people, credulity.
    From our writers, flattery.
    From our critics, silence.
    Armenians are complex and unpredictable?
    Nonsense!
    We are more predictable than Pavlov's salivating canines.

      FOOLS
      ***********************
      It has been said that if you deal with fools
      you run the risk of becoming one.
      Is this a scientifically established fact
      or a theory of uncertain provenance?
      I don’t know. I am not sure.
      Speaking for myself, I am personally acquainted with a Turcocentric ghazetaji
      who, when contradicted, behaves like a Turk
      with total unawareness of the metamorphosis.

        ********************************************
        INSANITY
        *************************
        The very same Armenians
        who are eager to inform me
        I don’t qualify as an Armenian writer
        because I write in English brag about the fact
        that Saroyan and Arlen are Armenian.
        *
        Insanity comes naturally to man.
        Insanity is the norm.
        We owe all wars, revolutions, massacres,
        and such spectacular instances of injustice
        as the execution of Socrates
        and the crucifixion of Christ
        to an essentially insane social order.
        *
        Armenian genocide?
        No such thing.
        Armeno-Turkish genocide?
        That’s better!
        *
        The brotherhood of all men?
        An illusion. A myth. A good subject
        for sermonizers and speechifiers.
        Cain and Abel?
        A brief history of mankind.

          An Armenian leader whose number one priority
          is not uniting the nation should be declared a gravedigger.

            Kachaturian in music, Zarian in literature. If the first is better known it’s because he wrote dances and lullabies. #armenians *

              My primary aim here is not to expose our blunders
              or to cover up the criminal conduct of the
              perpetrators, but to emphasize the fact that we
              have been and continue to be a far greater threat
              to our own survival than our worst enemies.

                After urging me to change my last name, a friend delivered the following comment: “As long as you bear a Turkish surname, you admit to having been branded by them.” *And I thought: If only it were that easy to erase six centuries of subservience and all traces of Ottomanism by acquiring a new name!#

                  Why do dogs fight?
                  Wrong question.
                  The right question is
                  How come dog fighting is against the law but war is not?

                    ISLAMOPHOBIA
                    ********************************
                    We are told Islamophobia
                    is racist nonsense.
                    What we are not told is that
                    no one in his right mind
                    could be for sharia and jihad.

                      INFANTILISM
                      ***************************
                      When I was a child I believed everything I was
                      told. I had no reason to question the authority
                      of my elders. If they had told me to kill and die
                      in the name of a cause I would have obeyed. Since
                      I could not think for myself I confused
                      subservience with wisdom. I suppose all fanatics
                      could plead not guilty by reason of infantilism.
