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.

  • crackpots

    There is a type of reader
    (and I have my share of them)
    who is programmed to disagree and reject
    anything that is not recycled propaganda.
    Such a reader doesn’t even bother or begin
    to understand what’s being said.
    He just hangs a label on you
    and forever after identifies you
    as the lowest form of animal life –
    namely, an Armenian
    who doesn’t love all Armenians
    and hate all Turks.
    Such a reader is convinced
    anyone who has more power or money
    must know better.
    He is Bolshevik in his pragmatism,
    capitalist in his value system,
    and Catholic in his dogmatism.

    Our infatuation with our celebrities is such that
    we would brag even about Cain and Judas
    had they been of Armenian descent.

      MUSIC
      ****************
      When about a month ago I suggested
      the world would have been a better place
      without Elvis and the Beatles,
      only three readers agreed with me.
      The rest (several dozen) told me
      in no uncertain terms to f*** off.
      And they say music ennobles.
      But then, if it failed to ennoble the Germans,
      why should it ennoble the rest of us?

        Every Armenian should carry a sign with the warning: "Contradict me and make an enemy for life!"

          NOTES / COMMENTS
          **********************************
          Armenians from the Middle East and I
          speak a different language
          even when we speak Armenian.
          We are incomprehensible to each other
          especially when we understand each other.
          A paradox?
          Armenian life is full of them.
          *
          Nothing is as I imagined it to be.
          Imagination is a misleading faculty.
          Sometimes it can even be a deadly trap.
          *
          To explain and to justify
          are not synonymous words.
          *
          Like the moon we have a dark side
          clearly visible to others,
          invisible to ourselves.
          *
          As a rule, enemies of the state
          are friends of the people.

            It is not easy convincing barbarians that they are barbarians.

              Recycling propaganda is not just repeating hearsay evidence but parroting perjury.

                  In a world where everyone is proud
                  to be a Turk, Kurd, Jew, or Armenian
                  I prefer to be a humble human being
                  if only because humility is a virtue
                  and pride leads to arrogance.

                    A reader writes:
                    “The only thing I know about Armenian history
                    is that once upon a time we were a great nation
                    and God was on our side.”
