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.

        I also know that Antakya has soaps made of daphne leaves. daphne soaps of Antakya are known pretty well. daphne is kind of a tree (if anyone doesnt know in case)

        I remember a japanese girl who had come to St.Pierre because it was an important church for christian belief. dont know exact importance though (I'm muslim).. had a good conversation with her she was very nice.

          St Peter in English. It is called this because it is built on the site of a cave in which, according to a local Christian tradition, the Apostle Peter had preached in.

          "Daphne" is another name for a laurel tree.

            Why do you think it is important for you to be saying that Armenia was the first nation to accept Christianity? The circumstances that caused it to come about are not ones that anyone should be particularly proud of. Armenia became, as you put it "the first nation to accept Christianity" because it was an oriental-style despotic state. Whatever the King decided was true (whether it was a sincere belief or just for political reasons) had to be true for everyone, under threat of death.
            The same happened in England, not once, not twice, but innumerable times. So what?

              In my book, anybody who joins hands with *urks to attack Armenians and Greeks is a *urk!

              In my book, yes!


              PS. Isn't it curious that *urks recognize you as one of theirs?

              Note: I have chosen to auto censor the words "*urk" or "*urkish" because it is commonly perceived as unpleasant and offending, evokes unpleasant emotions and imagery and is pregnant with immoral and evil connotations!

              What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

                  I don't know what history book you have been reading. The exact opposite is true. If a king in England or Scotland began to get messianic dillusions and start to meddle in religious affairs and freedoms, he would risk his head being separated from his body.

                    As far as I remember the switch from paganism to Christianity in England did not go very smoothly... Nor the hundreds of internal religious conflicts.

                      Sorry, I thought in your first post you were referring to the medieval and Renaissance periods.

                      And aren't you actually now making my point - that is what I was saying, Armenia's initial "conversion" was in name only - and was for most a matter of convienience and not belief.
