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: books

    THIS & THAT
    *****************************
    We worship our writers
    but our financial support goes
    to bosses and bishops.
    *
    There is no evidence to suggest
    what our writers have said
    has made a discernible difference
    in the life of the nation or community.
    *
    I have been wrong many times:
    that’s the only assertion I can make
    with 100% certainty.
    *
    To how many readers I could say,
    “I don’t have to understand you – I am you!”
    *
    When depressed I count our moral victories.
    As for real victories: I would count them too
    if I knew one.

      IF…
      ******************
      If Zohrab was taken in by Talaat,
      who among us will dare to suggest
      he is too smart to be fooled?
      *
      Have I ever been successful in fooling anyone?
      I don’t remember.
      If I have I suspect my target only pretended
      to be fooled not to hurt my feelings.
      *
      If everything worth saying has been said before,
      our only option is to repeat
      only that which is worth repeating.
      *
      Speak of your faith in humanity
      only if you can afford bodyguards;
      even then “Speak softly and carry a big stick!”
      *
      When I write I assume I am dealing with
      reasonably decent readers
      capable of using their common sense.
      A big mistake that one!
      *
      If it’s not the hemlock, it’s the cross.

        ON SURVIVAL
        *****************************
        We share with animals
        the instinct to survive, with one difference:
        when successful, animals don’t brag about it.
        We could learn from them.
        *
        We are carefully taught to brag
        about our celebrities and
        even more systematically and carefully taught
        to ignore the mediocrity of our political leadership.
        *
        To brainwash may not be a crime against humanity
        but to see nothing wrong in it is worse than a crime,
        it's a blunder!
        *
        I repeat myself, granted,
        but never as often as our children are taught
        to brag about Mikoyan and Gulbenkian.
        *
        In a world where men like Gulbenkian
        and Mikoyan are successful,
        I see more merit in failure,

          EXPLAINING THE SITUATION.
          *********************************************
          One reason I write as I do is that
          I can be of greater service to my fellow countrymen
          as a dissident than as a dupe of propaganda.
          *
          We all make mistakes, granted.
          But some of us learn not to repeat them.
          *
          Even on the eve of the Genocide
          we were divided, one side maintaining
          Turks wouldn’t dare
          because the whole world was watching.
          *
          Imagine a second Greco-Trojan war.
          If the Trojans had been Armenians
          they would divide themselves
          on the grounds that the gift horse
          on the other side of their walls
          was not a horse but a jackass.
          *
          Even as we behave like certified morons
          we brag about our IQ!
