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.

      The point I was trying to make is that there are quite a number of people in occupied Western Armenia who still remember their Armenian origins and would be easy to assimilate back into Armenianess.
      Oh yes your statement is very true Armanen jan as a matter of fact there are a great deal of them; but thanks to controlling (to say the least) turkish regime they are mostly afraid and not only Hemshins origin; but other Armenians also from turkey are brought to the main cities by diasporan Armenian organizations as most of them would love to get out of there; and I dont blame them one bit.

        Anoush and Armanen, you are persuading yourselves. If there was a significant hidden Armenian population preserving its true identity in Turkey, I would inevitably know some of them. And that's not the case.
        I just try to depict the reality of Turkey, don't misunderstand me. I would be glad if we indeed such an Armenian population, unfortunately we don't.

          Isn't that like the Quebecois? They don't call themselves French, they are Quebecois.

            I used to think there weren't any, either. But there are, and more than I expected.

            But how would you know about hidden Armenians?

              Hope is a precious thing but stupidy is not. There is not enough reason to stay hidden at these times.

              We are not living at 1915.

              But how would you know about hidden Armenians?
              how would you know?

                    Armenian is whoever has Armenian ethnic consciousness. There is no such thing as "Armenian blood" and whoever creates artificial racial barriers is working against our interests by dividing the nation. Armenia should be big and that can occur by reaching to as many people as possible.

                      And this means that we should work with Hamshens and create an Armenian minority inside Turkey so as to intervene in their internal affairs, instead of the suicidal and idiotic policies that people like Vigil suggest (that we should dump them).

                      Quite frankly, I think we should watch out because many self-portrayed "Armenian ultanationalists" might work for foreign services.
