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.

    Hayastan never again should become Comunist. Lenin give away our lands, he give away our holy mountain, he give away land that our men have died fore. And he give it all away to our greatest enemy The turks so comunism doesn't belong in Hayastan or they will give away the rest of our lands

        I dare you to make the same criminal statement about the ruling administration here in the United States.

          Bravo Armsurvival, in my opinion, your comments below were by far the best commentary. The nature of communism in Armenia cannot be properly described in a single sentence nor can it be said that communism was "totally bad" or "totally good" for Armenians. This topic, like many topics involving Armenians, is multi dimensional.

          However, we must realize that Bolshevism/communism ruined the Russian Empire's anti-Turkish ambitions within Asia Minor, thereby hurting Armenia by allowing Armenians to be slaughtered by Turks in the absence of Russian forces from the scene. Having said that, communist Armenians did managed to safeguard Armenia's existence later on by partaking in the greater Bolshevik agenda. What's more, the surge of communism also became the 'catalyst' for Armenia's cultural/national rebirth, similar to the effect that the acceptance of Christianity had upon Armenian society, albeit on a much lesser scale.

          Nevertheless, had the Bolshevik revolution never taken place, or totally defeated, the entire map of the Eurasian continent would have been drastically different today. Most Armenians fail to realize that Imperial Russian forces with Armenian help had advanced as far west as Van in 1916, and the gates to the interior of Turkey at the time were wide open and ready for the taking. Had there been no Bolshevik revolution we today most probably would not be lamenting the Armenian Genocide and the loss of Armenian lands. There would never have been a Hitler. And the Ameri-Joos would not be ruling over the civilized world today. Worst case scenario, however, would be us being part of the Russian Empire.

          OK, enough with playing make belief. Whatever happened, happened. I'm just glad that under communism Armenians were able to protect the last remaining piece of Armenian land and turn Yerevan from a Azeri/Persian town of 35000 inhabitants (a minority of which were Armenians) into a metropolis of well over a million people - virtually all Armenian. And let's not forget all the scientists, leaders, scholars and artists that the system spawned.

          Thus, it's all relative.

          Its one thing to appreciate Communism and its ideals, and another to praise the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union wasn't a Communist country, it was a traditional empire led by an autocratic figure (if it was a real union, countries would join voluntarily like the EU instead of being attacked and annexed by the Red Army). All other political parties were banned, you couldn't talk about the genocide, doctors get paid the same as janitors, etc. Bolsheviks fought against the same Russian Empire which was helping us fight against the Ottomans, and our country collapsed as a result.

          And how much of our land did the Soviets give away to our enemies? Karabagh, Nakhichevan, Kars, Ardahan, etc.

          Thats not to say nothing good came from the Soviets. They turned an agrarian society into an industrialized one, repopulated Armenia, protected us from Turkey, and saved those suffering from famine in the early 1920's. However, all the people that Stalin killed through his policies, and all the Armenians lost due to fighting stupid wars for the Soviets is probably a similar number to those who would have died from famine.

          And you could argue that if the Bolsheviks didn't make the Russian Empire collapse during WW1, we wouldnt need protection from Turkey in the present day.

                Globalization is not something to be ''preached'', it is a reality. You either endorse it and and use it to your benefit, or you go against it and thus getting lost into oblivion.

                And I am not a Bolshevik, you american.

                    Two mistakes in one sentence.

                    1) That is not the reality
                    2) There is no such thing such as soul

                    As I said, the problem with nationalists is that they are incapable of a correct analysis of the reality. If you don't know the reality, then you can't win your battles. They are useful idiots in a battle, but by no means should they be the decision makers.

                      Yeah, yeah, yeah... I have heard it before. You're like a street w-h-o-r-e talking. Sell yourself to the highest bidder. Its quite typical of your kind, you were taught well by your parents. Globalization, like international communism, will never work - its against human nature. Only twisted lowlives would accept a demonic concept like globalization. Thank God we are already seeing its decline. And just like you lost your Bolshevik security blanket, you will soon loose your Globalization.

                      OK, please allow me to rephrase my statement:

                      The reality is you are a pathetic animal.
