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.

    Hi, are you the same "natolia" that sells stuff on ebay?

    For the rest of you - a bit of advice - sell NOTHING connected to Turkey. If you have such items then hold onto them - they will increase hugely in value once Turkey joins the EU and its middle classes start to become interested in collecting in the same way as Europeans. Turkey now is a desert as far as art objects are concerned. Everything there was once considered worthless by the Turks and was sold or destroyed or thrown away years ago. I only wish I had the money to spare to scour the fleamarkets of Europe picking up all the stuff the Turks sold to Europeans during the 19th century.

      why the hell would we have anything connected to turkey in the first place. in the second place, name one thing that turks made that any european would ever waste his time on. maybe some torture devices? an ancient fez? a sweat stained turban perhaps? haha. other than that im at a loss as to what you could be talking about. you must be talking about some other turkey that in some alternate reality was actually civilized and had a culture that might have left behind some art?

              You were a cretin several months ago, and it seems you still are.

              Also, everything I said about Turkey is also applicable to Armenia - except that there, what little survived the wars and massacres was mostly disposed of during the soviet period when possesing anything that could be construed to be nationalistic was enough to have you sent to the nearest gulag, and showing any appreciation for things like art and culture was equally dangerous. Of course, for spotty youths like TigranJamharian, not showing an appreciation of art and culture is a lifestyle statement.

              The only artifacts that will not increase in value in the comming years are old Armenian books - now that Istanbul's Armenian community is nearing extinction, all the old books that were in its possession in the 19th century (when there were hundreds and thousands of Armenians in constantinople) are starting to be disposed of. And there will be far too many for the market to absorb.
