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.

    the more pronounced his need for flattery
    or everything that will cover up his nastiness.

      **************************
      DECLINE & FALL
      ****************************
      Decline and fall is the destiny of all empires.
      That’s a rule without exceptions.
      There aren’t too many of those
      but that’s one of them.
      *
      Nothing comes more easily to man
      than to treat his fellow men as subhuman.
      In slavery as well as war,
      a man ceases to be a human being
      and becomes a means to an end.
      *
      For 600 years we made ourselves useful to them.
      But the moment we asserted our status as human beings,
      we became as undesirable as terminal cancer.
      *
      We live in a world that views asserting one’s humanity
      as a capital offense. Hence the formula:
      civilization=syphilization.
      *
      Have a nice day!

        If we are unique, that’s because every individual, tribe, nation, or for that matter, snowflake and grain of sand is unique.

          Questions/Answers
          --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Q: You speak of our problems but you don't provide solutions. Why?

          A: Solutions don't come in the shape of verbal formulas. Solutions demand hard work, struggle, sacrifice, planning, dedication, concerted action, and even more important, an awareness of the problem itself.


          Q: We all agree that divisions are a problem. How do we go about solving it?

          A: We don't all agree. I have heard many Armenians say that we owe our survival to our divisions or what I prefer to call our tribalism.

          Q: Suppose we succeed in convincing all Armenians that tribalism is a problem. Then what?

          A: The old saying, "Where there is a will, there is a way," applies here. History provides us with many models. All we have to do is choose: the way of the Kurds, Arabs, and gypsies, or the way of the Italians, the British, and the Americans. No nation ever achieved nationhood overnight. Even the Americans had to fight one of the bloodiest civil wars in the history of mankind.

          Q: In one of your books, you write: "Living among Armenians or even in their proximity can be hazardous to your health, unless you have the constitution of a horse, the skin of a crocodile, the strength of a water buffalo, and the aroma of a skunk." My question is: Why do you dislike your fellow Armenians?

          A: I don't. But I do loathe racists, fascists, and loud-mouth charlatans, and I refuse to view their Armenian identity as a mitigating factor. Ethnicity is not a form of insanity and it should not be used as an extenuating circumstance.

          Q: Why are you a cynic?

          A: I am not, but I may react as one when confronted with naive souls, who, very much like our activists at the turn of the last century in the Ottoman Empire, are convinced if they have God or Truth on their side, they have nothing to fear.

              ARMENIAN PECULIARITIES
              ***************************************
              Even if he knows nothing,
              an Armenian will assume to know better.
              *
              In the eyes of his fellow Armenians,
              all Armenians are second-class citizens.
              *
              The favorite line of Armenians from Istanbul:
              “There was a war on.
              Nobody knows who did what to whom.
              Let bygones be bygones."
              *
              Among themselves Turks may brag by saying
              “We taught Armenians a lesson they’ll never forget.”
              But we find it more convenient to say
              “Even if we know what happened,
              we will be better off to pretend otherwise.
              We have to live with the bastards.”
              *
              Truth is, Turks did not massacre Armenians.
              It was half-Turks who massacred half-Armenians.
              It was civil war. An affair between mongrels.”

                One of the most serious abnormalities inflicted
                on human beings is considering oneself normal and
                all others if not abnormal than slight
                deviations.
