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.

    ON BELIEF
    **************************
    Most people never question
    the infallibility of their belief system.
    Others are born again.
    *
    ON TRUTH
    *************
    If you speak the truth
    liars will conspire against you
    and you will be outnumbered
    a thousand to one.
    *
    TRUTH / II
    ************************
    Truth has never been a central concern
    of politicians and diplomats.
    Self-interest – that’s different.
    *
    ON BRAINWASHING
    *********************************
    To brainwash someone is to freeze his brain
    and render it incapable of development.

    AS I SEE IT
    *************************
    We don’t need critics, we need solutions.”
    In today’s parlance:
    “As a member of the 99%
    you are not qualified to dictate policy
    to the 1%.”
    *
    Alcoholics get drunk on booze;
    politicians on power.
    *
    We are brought up to equate objectivity
    with enemy action.
    *
    Armenian-style democracy in the Homeland:
    Stalinism without Stalin.
    Armenian-style democracy in America:
    Sultanism without fez and yataghan.
    *
    You can’t get rid of bad habits
    by pretending you don’t have them.
    *
    “How can an Armenian do this to another Armenian?”
    According to one of our elder statesmen:
    Some Armenians are not Armenians
    but Turks who speak Armenian fluently.

      THE ANSWER
      *********************************
      Turks deny the reality of our genocide
      to the same degree that we deny our status
      as perennial losers, dupes and
      addicts of the blame-game.
      *
      Turks fool themselves into thinking
      they are la crème de la crème;
      and we fool ourselves into viewing
      our bosses, bishops and benefactors
      as dedicated and humble servants
      of God and the people.
      *
      To deceive ourselves is ease;
      to deceive God or Reality impossible.
      Silencing dissenting voices
      may postpone the final catastrophe
      but it cannot prevent the inevitable.
      *
      What is the answer?
      We may have it only after we start asking
      the right questions.

        BROTHERS
        **************************
        There are dissident Turks today
        who loathe their nationalist-Kemalist legacy
        as much as Armenians loathe
        their long history of subservience
        and collaboration with the enemy.
        Some day if these Armenians and Turks
        sit at the same table,
        they may discover their brotherhood.
        *
        The main function of nationalism
        is to poison the minds of the next generation
        by turning them into killing machines.
        *
        You want to know what makes us unique?
        The fact that we are just about
        the dumbest people on earth
        who pretend to be the smartest.
        *
        You want the truth?
        We are not smart.
        We are not even dumb.
