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: "Harsh reality" (HR) or "Armenian National Interest"(ANI)???

    Don't know much about Byron as a person but anyone that takes an interest in the Armenian language like he did can't be that bad! Though whenever his name is mentioned, I immediately think of his daughter Ada, whom many consider to be the first computer programmer ... she was certainly quite special.

      Why, because Armenian is a bad language? So, anyone who miraculously appreciates it must be so kind? You see how 'insecurity' works in a person's mentality. The 'enlightened' men and women at the time took interest in a variety of things, including jungle savages. So, don't take it personally...

      Stop being silly, and don't believe the hype...

      During a nine-month period in 1842–1843, Ada translated Italian mathematician Luigi Menabrea's memoir on Babbage's newest proposed machine, the Analytical Engine. With the article, she appended a set of notes which specified in complete detail a method for calculating Bernoulli numbers with the Engine, recognized by historians as the world's first computer program. Biographers debate the extent of her original contributions, with some holding that the programs were written by Babbage himself.
      Can we please get off this Byron crap!

        What "hype"? Is this yet another evil US Corporation CNN propaganda and/or zionist femenazis thing I wasn't aware of?

        I don't know how many times it needs to be said that copying from wikipedia to dismiss something as "hype" is like using poop as window cleaner

          Re: "Harsh reality" (HR) or "Armenian National Interest"(ANI)???

          Getting back on topic, according to two different 'sources' of mine the whining French-Armenian character named Armen is well known in the region in question (including by my sources) and is considered by the natives there (as well as by my sources) to be a trouble maker, a freeloader and very problematic. My sources stated that this character was a failure in France and decided to get adventurous and go to Artsakh - thinking that he would be a 'king' there. He attempted a few unsuccessful "business" endeavors. Apparently he also tried to get involved in politics - foolish. So, as I suspected, there is much more to this story. This whole situation has reminded me of how disgusted I get of most Armenians. Just go to Hetq Online and read the many comments posted under Armen's article. They are disgusting, to say the least.

          One absolute lowlife called "George" had this to say:

          The present government of both Artsakh and Armenia are plainly evil. One should have no dealings with them.
          An idiot named "Sako" wrote:

          The next time I am asked to donate to the Armenian Fund's Telethon I will raise all hell. I would urge all concerned to e-mail President Bako Sahakyan, the All-Armenian Fund, and other charitable organizations working in Karabakh and demand PROMPT ACTION and THE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL FORM OFFICE ALL ALL CORRUPT OFFICIALS INVOLVED!!!
          A moron named "Hovagim" wrote:

          Unfortunately, any country that has been in the communist system or under Russian influeance remains BACKWARD and 100% corrupt.
          A stupid one called "micha":

          What Armen should is to call on Diaspora Armenians to stop giving money to Karabakh Authorities. And the best thing to do during Karabakh's president next trip to Europe or USA is to put a decayed apple in his basket. This is the symbol of his rule. So instead of money he'll collect decayed fruits!!!! I can't believe this happening while so many people in Diaspora having hard time to collect money to help this dumbass bureaucrats. I think it's time to stop all funding on governement level.
          And an absolute asshole named "Emil Hartoonian" writes:

          Dear Armen, I am convinced that you will never get what you deserve, because the whole Armenian government in Armenia and Artsakh as well are completely corrupt, now they do not need ex- patriots like you or me, they are doing just fine washing dirty dollars, that has flooded Armenia and Artsakh, be a man look at your loss in the eyes spit on their degenerated Russian faces and leave, GO HOME. Levon Ter Petrossyan knows this bastards the best, why not write to him.
          All this, just because a spoiled disgruntled jackass with a big chip on his shoulder wanted to cause trouble by posting a complaint letter. Nevertheless, this story has revealed many of our shortcomings as a nation: some diasporan Armenians do take advantage of the homeland; Armenians tend to have a lack of objectivity; Armenians tend to have a lack of a balanced perspective; Armenians tend to be ignorant of historical/political nuances; Armenians do not comprehend what true nationalism is; Armenians do to not comprehend the concept of a fatherland...

          Does anyone now understand why I say most Armenians today are trash and why we desperately need a thorough 'cleansing' of our domestic garbage?

            I happen to have met him before he left. He went there with truly patriotic feelings. If his feelings have changed then there is something really wrong going on there.

            It seems that you know very little about me which does not prevent you from making wild assumptions. This is not the first one in this thread.

As a matter of fact, this is precisely the reason why so many western NGOs have been set up in former Soviet states, namely to meddle in the domestic affairs of these developing nations - naturally using the pretext of protecting "human rights", "democracy", "freedom of speech", etc...

            As I predicted, as the elections in Armenia nears we will hear and see much more uglier developments. There are forces that want to topple the pro-Russian/pro-Iranian regime in Yerevan at all costs. And since these antagonists cannot use force against Armenia they will attempt to use the people's sentiments, the feelings of
            the ignorant masses, against the ruling administrators.
            There is absolutely no reason why the theme of corruption should be left to Soros&co sponsored opposition. This is in fact their main argument. Not addressing it allows them to prosper. Such a position cannot be justified politically speaking unless the regime is entirely corrupt itself. And if it is, it is acting against national interests, period.

            I guess everyone agrees with that statement. The question is the definition of "domestic garbage".

              I don't necessarily agree that most Armenians are "trash" though I do see your point about the tautological second part ("cleaning the trash"). It is somehow always easy to assume a "nationalistic" (non-trash?) attitude when one doesn't have to personally deal with poverty, hunger, fear, corruption, and the constant day-to-day struggle of just trying to survive.

              When all or some of those other mundane factors rise their ugly heads, I don't think the emergence of the more egotistical responses can qualify as "trashy". It is fundamental human nature and it doesn't matter if one is Armenian, Hindu, or Eskimo.

                    "...it seems as if you are more familiar with 'English' literature than with 'Armenian' literature. Hence, Amrotz's ire." It's a quote from Armenian's post. I chose it because I couldn't have said it better myself.

                    A race that is made up from Britons, Romans, Saxons, Danish, Norman, Flemish, French and to a lesser extent other European blood is mongrel, which is a term they all know very well and most of them even accept.

                    The thoughts expressed above are the reality, they are the truth.

                    Axel, (and others who think like him) if the enemies of our nation succeed then we all would suffer regardless of our political views. These multifaced and powerful enemies of ours are trying to makes us orphans by trying to destroy the most precious thing we have - our country, the Republic of Armenia.

                      And this you were able to gather from a one line quote out of Shakespeare that somehow found its way in one single post out of a hundred forty two.
                      It seems as if you are a genius.
                      My own limited intellectual means make me feel uneasy in such company. Allow me to retire.
