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.

    Unfortunately Anush they still stood by the Young Turks even after Adana, (because of the liberal elements of those murderous party , who later were eliminated by what became the CPU) to our detriment.

      No that's not true. Russia backed up in concealment with the turks. You completely forget that at the time, Armenians has just seen the Genocide and the Western Armenian lands no longer had Armenian habitants. The Russians backed away and Armenians as well as Tashnagtsoutyoun went back along with them. There was a mere 800,000 souls left in our Republic and which they fought with their last breath in May 18, 1918 thanks to Dashnagtsoutyoun the A.R.F. and the Armenian blessed people.

              I think you can go to their HQ near Republic Square, I'm sure if you can't join there someone will tell you where you should go and what you should do in order to join the ARF.
              For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
              to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

                Bull. You sound like one of these Russia-worshippers that fled the Soviet toilet called 'perestroika'. No offense intended but you couldn't be any more wrong.

                Armenia's independence came out of a power vacuum, and the losses of western Armenia were a direct result of Lenin's non-interventionist policies, as well as his appeasement to Mustafa Kemal in hopes of turning him into a Soviet state some day as well.

                Try to understand what happened to Armenia during and after the Bolshevik revolution.

                One last thing (to others, in response to other comments I've read)...no disrespect to the most nationalistic diasporan party we have, the loudest one that maintains our voice politically not just in the US but EU as well, but they weren't then what they are now. The Turks, on April 24, went after Hunchags, Armenakans and other threats, and the ARF weren't high on their list during the early mornings. In other words, when the Hunchag and other revolutionaries were first dismantled, the ARF pretty much took up the role of leaders of the revolution, and even fought frequently with Armenians even while the genocide was happening.

                  Some of my best friends are in ARF but it doesn't stop me from criticising it. ARF lacks vision and is out of touch with Armenias society. It is more conserned about genocide recognition then the survival of Hayastan.
                  Hayastan or Bust.

                      Lack of moral and spiritual fortitude, prevalent especially in the regime which is to certain extent also reflection of societal degradation.
