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.

  • Bill Handel protest L.A. 6/12/09



    Published: Last Updated Wednesday, June 10, 2009 10:15 PM PDT
    Armenian groups to protest remarks

    The Unified Young Armenians, known for its organization of the annual genocide demonstration in Hollywood, announced plans for a protest at 10 a.m. Friday against remarks made during a May broadcast on KFI in which radio hosts suggested getting rid of Armenians as a way to relieve an overburdened health-care system.

    The comments, made May 13 on Bill Handel’s morning show on KFI-AM (460), have included the suggestion that officials sell off Glendale as a way to “get rid of” Armenian immigrants. A producer on the show then said, “What the Turks started, Bill will finish.”

    Responding the growing criticism, Program Director Robin Bertolucci last week called the segment a “crazy over-the-top parody” that was taken out of context.

    Armenian community leaders have argued the segment was racist and have said the radio hosts would never have never directed the same comments toward xxxs or other more politically powerful ethnic groups.

    The protest is scheduled to take place at 6640 Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles.

    KFI AM 640 & Bill Handel Protest Against Anti-Armenian Attacks
    KFI AM 640 & BILL HANDEL PROTEST AGAINST ANTI-ARMENIAN ATTACKS

    Recently Bill Handel on KFI – suggested reducing the U.S. population to save the government money. Then came a wisecrack about starting with the Armenians and selling Glendale . So far, it’s just tacky, and par for the shock-radio course.

    One person who heard this called and e-mailed to complain. The upshot? The e-mail was read and mocked again no surprises, but then came; “What the Turks started, Bill will finish.”

    Imagine if similiar comments were made against xxxs or Blacks! They would turn the world upside down until they got justice! It’s time we do the same and stop being so passive. If you are truly offended by this, then take 10 minutes out of your day and do something about it.

    You’ll certainly want to hear the two clips. Unfortunately, you can’t hear the real offender off KFI’s website. Why? They’ve taken down that show from their website. Hmm, wonder why that is? Fortunately, they were downloaded ahead of time and are now available.
