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.

    Overheard: "I don't see movies because they are trash, and I don't read books because if they are any good they will be made into movies."

      Re: crackpots

      Once upon a time I knew an Armenian so rude in argument and so eager to go down into the gutter that very few wanted to follow him there, so that after a while he thought of himself as a 20th-century reincarnation of the famous medieval Armenian philosopher David Anhaght ("Invincible"), so called because he is said to have been invincible in argument.

        When Zarian said, "Armenians survive by cannibalizing one another," he clearly implied the solution, namely, vegetarianism (metaphorically speaking, of course). #armenians

          NOTES / COMMENTS
          **********************************
          If I understand my fellow Armenians
          it’s because of Thomas Hobbes’s dictum:
          “The wicked man is but the child grown strong.”
          *
          Clinton versus Trump:
          Not black and white but shades of gray.
          *
          Every military defeat,
          every natural and man made disaster
          like earthquakes and epidemics
          was followed by mass exodus.
          One could even say
          exodus to be our most popular foreign policy.
          *
          My aim is to expose inconsistencies
          and contradictions.
          If your aim is to speak the truth,
          I am bound to be the loser.

            FROM THE DIARY OF AN IDIOT
            ********************************************
            For many years I suspected the world was
            populated by semi-idiots, and then, early one
            morning, to my shock and outrage, I woke up with
            the certainty that I was the idiot.

              Every belief system is also a critique as well as a rejection of all other belief systems.

                Fascists make good speechifiers, but I see more eloquence in the braying of an ass. #armenians

                  An idiot once said to me: "Books speak about the past. I am more interested in the future." He is thinking of his next screw, I thought.

                    Where the art of advertisement is developed,
                    the brain will be underdeveloped.

                      ***********************************
                      WISDOM
                      **************************
                      There is patriotic wisdom
                      and there is popular wisdom.
                      Our popular wisdom says:
                      “Mart bidi ch’ellank.”
                      Freely translated:
                      “We shall never acquire the status
                      of human beings.”
                      *
                      I acquired literary ambitions
                      at a time when I knew nothing
                      about the history of our literature.
                      *
                      The average Armenian thinks
                      he has no need to know anything
                      about Armenians because he is one.
                      *
                      Subservience to Turks taught
                      us subservience to Russians
                      and ultimately subservience to our own
                      bosses, bishops and benefactors.
                      *
                      I no longer reply to insults;
                      I simply unfriend the bugger.
