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.

  • Chess Master of all-time:Garik Kasparov (Kasparyan)

    His message for Armenians was by far the most important of all writings written. Observe as I carefully step-by-step explain about this sagacious man.
    Surrounded by his compatriots and admirers, world chess champion Garry Kasparov stressed the need for unity among good people -- a message especially important for the continued vitality of the Armenian community.

    Garry Kasparov, considered by many including the French (I don't know why that makes it more impressive) the greatest chess player of our time, recently closed a six-game marathon against Israeli-programmed computer(Once again Jew envy towards Armenians accomplishments) Deep Junior with a draw bringing the match to a close with a 1-1-4 verdict. This was his second time playing a computer, having lost to Deep Blue in a similar match in New York City years ago.

    Many people consider this a fearful indication of how man's genius is faring against the utter stupendous computing processes of the machine. These people think that man is becoming obsolete to the computer and they are frightened. They have no need to be, not yet anyway.

    I, personally, prefer to look at this as not Man Versus Machine (MvM) but, instead, Man Versus Man with Machine (MvMM). I consider it a triumph for man himself and the wonder of the tools he uses to augment his own capacities. Look at it this way:

    Computing technology to date is very far from artificial intelligence, simulation of the way that the human mind thinks. You could give a computer the finest optical and servo-mechanical devices and it still wouldn't, inherently, know what to do with a chess board. The genius, my friends, is in the programming.

    This is a general algorithm that I figure is behind the brains of a chess computer's programming. After each move by its human opponent, the computer simulates every possible combination of moves afterward. It then figures out, percentage wise, which potential "next move" gives it the greatest percentage of winning versus the lowest potential in the human player's chance at victory. It continues to play this way, each move scrutinized for the least possible chance the human will win and the greatest that the computer will find checkmate.

    Now, the ability to comprehend this many moves in advance is the computer's innate brilliance. This is simply due to its ability to perform mathematical calculations millions upon billions of times faster than the human mind. However, the true genius is the the programmer's ability to instruct the computer on how to do this. This is why I don't feel threatened by the machine because the REAL THOUGHT is on how to program. When Kasparov loses, he does not lose to Deep Junior. He loses to the men who figured out the algorithm that could BEAT Kasparov.

    As a further side note, considering the odds which he had to face, it's completely AMAZING to me that Kasparov could even beat the computer once, let alone bring the computer to a stalemate four other times.

    If you're looking for something to fear, fear Kasparov. That is a mind that is so far beyond ours, it's impossible to comprehend in it's ultimate entirety.
