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.

  • Contact the White House today

    The Obama administration has confirmed that Middle East Envoy George Mitchell will be in Turkey this weekend. This is a great opportunity for all Americans to show the administration there is a groundswell of support for genocide recognition.
    Following is the note I wrote at
    Contact the President, Vice President, get help with a Federal Agency, or request a Presidential Greeting.

    Go to this Web site. Don't try to send to this address. It is not an email address. This seems to be the best way to contact the president.

    "I am so proud of your nascent administration. I write today as an Armenian-American urging George Mitchell to address the Armenian Genocide while in Turkey this week. The Turkish government needs to know the United States does not sacrifice human rights, history and truth to political expediency. Most Armenian-Americans proudly recognize the longtime support of both yourself and Joe Biden for Armenian Genocide recognition. We hope you urge your brave Middle East envoy to take the next step."

    You can copy this or write your own. It's probably most important that they just receive a lot of these notes today.

    Mitchell postpones Turkey trip

    Posted: 10:14 AM ET

    From Ivan Watson

    CNN

    (CNN) — An anticipated trip by U.S. Middle East Special Envoy George Mitchell to Turkey this weekend has been postponed, the U.S. Embassy in the Turkish capital of Ankara said Friday.

    An Embassy spokeswoman insisted the postponement had nothing to do with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s angry outburst at Israeli President Shimon Peres during a panel discussion in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday.

    “The trip was postponed because of really tight scheduling,” said spokeswoman Kathy Schalow, speaking by telephone from Ankara. “The decision was made a few hours before (the panel discussion).”
