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: The Struggle for Caucasia

    Our struggle in Artsakh is not one of religion, but one of national liberation that all people deserve. Armenia and Armenians are much older than any of the monotheistic religions of today so they can keep their fossilized books of "God" to themselves. Shamil Basayev found out the hard way the level that Armenians are willing to go to fight for our ancestral native land and we are determined as ever. If they would fight in Chechnya for their national liberation I would at least understand the logic, but when they incorporate this messianic global "jihad" especially in the Caucasus that is when the lose because they automatically make millions and millions of non-fundamentalists (including Muslims) their sworn enemies.

      Agreed! I hope Russia crushes them like the cochroaches that they are.

      BTW: Why are there ukrainian volunteers with these idiots?
      For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
      to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

        Ukrainian resentment against the "moskals" or "katsaps" (both are Ukrainian derogatory terms for Russians) is quite great, especially in Western Ukraine. They view Chechnya (and also Georgia amongst others) as sharing similar destiny of fighting "against greater odds" and "resisting Russian imperialism." In Ukraine, Russia is often painted as an "imperialistic power" which had a negative impact on "Ukraine's independence" and has even usurped "real Russian identity" which is that of Kiev and not of Moscow. This is of course quite biased because Ukraine has been given vast segments of land (including as recently as 1954 with transfer of Crimea from Russia to Ukraine) after its union with Russia. There are parts of Ukraine (especially in the east and in the south around the Crimean peninsula) where population identifies more with Russia rather than Ukraine. As 2017 encroaches (when Russian Black Sea fleet will have to abandon Sevastopol naval base) there will be much more confrontation with Ukraine.

        I think that report on how history is presented in Ukraine also touched upon how Russia's role in (Ukrainian) history is presented.

          Well the Chechen rebels are just as bad as al qaeda and in league with them, they hostage take schools to murder children, bomb trains and all sorts of things. So naturally the Chechen rebels are real 'angel' figures. Of course they will be defeated eventually but probably not for 50-100 years the way things in the middle east, Pakistan and India are going.

            I figured as much. Idiot ukrainian nationalists have always painted Russia in a bad light. It is sad that Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarussians couldn't all live within one state, as their histories are so closely linked together and they share a close common ancestor. The current borders are artifical for the most part. The Western part of ukraine I can see as wanting to be independent as many there are have a different ethnic make-up than those in the east. Also, western ukrainians are mostly catholic, so this is another factor as to why Russia isn't popular with them.

              Yes, Ukraine went as far as to supply Georgia with arms during the Russo-Georgian '5 Day War' of August 2008. A number of volunteers fought on the Georgian side as well (as they did during the previous wars in the 1990s against the Abkhaz and South Ossetians). Most of the resentment is in Western Ukraine, but not only. The current president Yushchenchko (came to power in 2004 after the "Orange Revolution") is also very much in the anti-Russia camp - being the Godfather of (the 2003 "Rose Revolutionary") Saakashvili's son.

              Ukrainian propaganda on "break up of Russia." Soros got his moneys worth.

              Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

                Pogroms, genocide, and Kremlin-created famines don't help.

                What you have written is the same as writing "idiot Armenian nationalists have always painted Turkey in a bad light".

                  They should blame the bolsheviks, especially the earlier ones who were not even ethnic Russians. Also, whereas Russians and Ukrainians share a common ancestor, language, and culture, Armenia and turkey do not.

                  And Russia never had a policy of Genocide against Ukrainians, do not throw that term around lightly, especially on an Armenian forum.
