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.

    Re: Anyone watch Family footsteps

    I watched it. She is half Armenian and the show was pretty good. I found it surprising actually that she felt her family had a "burden", considering she wasn't really raised in a family that was full of Armenian culture. She went to Armenia to become "more Armenian" in a sense, and at the same time to see if something her great-grandfather did can be forgiven so her family/father (possibly herself?) could feel at peace. As I said it's interesting that she felt the need to do that considering she wasn't raised in a full-on Armenian family.
    Does that make sense?

            SYDNEY: The Armenian National Committee of Australia (ANC Australia) has condemned the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) refusal to adequately correct its use of the term ‘alleged’ as a qualifier for the Armenian Genocide, labelling the network’s response to community concerns as “unacceptable”.

            ANC Australia wrote to the ABC last week, expressing serious concern about the ‘alleged’ qualifier being used when referencing the Armenian Genocide during the 28 August ‘Family Footsteps’ program, which broadcast the story of Joanna Kambourian – an Armenian-Australian who travelled back to the homeland of her ancestors to explore the rich culture of the Armenian people and the tragic history of the Armenian Genocide.

            ANC Australia’s correspondence was followed by letters from the Armenian-Australian community, including one from Ms Kambourian herself, classifying the qualifier ‘alleged’ as deeply offensive and calling for a public correction by the ABC.

            This week, the ABC responded to community concerns, claiming that, the Armenian Genocide “remains a matter of contention within the international community”.

            The ABC letter read: “It is certainly true that many historians and governments have recognised the events as genocide, but others have disputed this categorisation.”

            Despite apologising for any offense it may have caused, the ABC concluded their response by stating that the use of the term ‘alleged’ was valid.

            ANC Australia has responded on behalf of the Armenian-Australian community seeking a correction for the original offence and subsequent response to community concerns. The letter read: “We find your attempt to justify the use of the offensive qualifier ‘alleged’ with respect to the Armenian Genocide, which is one of the worst crimes against humanity in modern history, unacceptable and no less repugnant than the original offence.

            “Your letter suggests that the categorisation of the systematic extermination of approximately 1.5million Armenian civilians by the Ottoman Turkish Government as genocide is legitimately disputed and therefore warrants the qualifier ‘alleged’.

            “...your very letter completely ignores the unequivocal position taken by the foremost Holocaust and Genocide scholars around the world who recognised and teach about the Armenian Genocide.”

            ANC Australia concluded its letter to the ABC with a request to meet with relevant representatives in order to stress the importance of a public apology from Australia’s national broadcaster.

            COMMUNITY NOTE: ANC Australia will keep you updated on its progress regarding this issue.
