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: Writers

    To those who say, I repeat myself, I have two
    questions: If reality repeats itself, why
    shouldn’t I? and, Who is more guilty – those who
    cry “Fire! Fire!!” or the arsonist?

        Did we ever produce a writer who could have
        qualified as a candidate for the Nobel Prize? The
        answer is, yes, certainly, many. But we silenced
        all of them. I have in mind not only writers of
        the Soviet period that were systematically purged
        by our commissars, but also writers of the
        Diaspora, like Zarian, Shahnour, and Massikian,
        who were rejected and silenced by our own
        1%.

          ON ARMENIAN WRITERS
          **********************************
          Think twice before you insult a writer:
          he may immortalize you.
          *
          “You hate Armenians!”
          No more than Raffi, Odian, Baronian,
          Massikian, Shahnour, Zarian….
          *
          To echo Hitler:
          “After all, who reads Armenian writers today?”
          *
          My standard reply to the standard question:
          “You think you are the only one
          who has been misunderstood, insulted,
          rejected and starved?”
          “No! That’s why I speak with the strength of many.”
          *
          I don’t hate Armenians. It’s the other way around.
          It is Armenians who hate their writers -- or love them
          only after they are dead and buried.”

            In the eyes of other writers
            I will always remain a mediocrity
            because I failed to declare their superiority.

            One of the hardest things in life
            is to convince a sh** that he is a sh**.

            I could be more diplomatic towards my critics
            but diplomacy has never been my forte
            and I refuse to acquire bad habits in my old age.

                you want to be popular? entertain popular ideas. But remember: popularity thus achieved is no better than prostitution.

                  We make ourselves ridiculous if, as the offspring of men who survived centuries of brutal oppression and massacres, pretend to be too fragile to handle the views of a minor scribbler.

                    Perhaps my quarrel is not with readers but with myself, my younger self, when I was innocent and naïve and therefore an ideal target for manipulators.

                      If you write a hundred lines, an Armenian will find a word or a comma with which he will disagree and ignore the rest. #armenians
