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.

      I just like the name ARAM..it sounds nice..
      and yes I did give this name to my son..
      It doesn't matter where you're from.

        My point is when someone says he is from Turkey he is thought to be Turkish...That is not true..If you look at Turkey's ethnic figures almost half is not actually Turkish..anyway I am half turkish half kurdish..but for me my ethnic roots really dont matter that much..I am not racist at all..
        But first and most of all and maybe most of you might be wondering about this;I read about the history a lot and I can tell that it is a tragedy that Armenians have been wiped off the current Turkey during WW1..It is a big tragedy which should have never happened..I am thinking if that many of Armenian people (1 -1,5 million) have not been destroyed at that time, there would be almost 7-8 million of Armenians in Turkey at the present..

            Now I know that you are not A) Blind, because you saw what he told us. And B)Perceptive, because you have to see where it goes.

            Nothing goes nowhere do you understand?

                    Welcome Aram and what a nice story about naming your son and your discovery/realization concerning Armenians. Most Turks have been blinded by the rhetoric and what they have been taught since childhood regarding Armenians - but many still understand that Armenians are not at all as they have been portrayed by the Turkish Government. I think your perspective on this would be most beneficial to everyone here and I encourage you to post more about your experiences and how you came to your understanding/appreciation of Armenians.

                      Winoman,
                      Anatolia (this is a greek name in origin) or the current Turkey has been home to many nations and ethnic people for a long time.If I start with Byzantium..Then there were Turks..The falling of Constantinapole to the hands of Turks..Ottomans..But all through this time there were lots of different nationalities in Anatolia actually..Kurds,Turks, Armenians, Arabic people,Greeks, Pontians and Laz people and Caucasian people and so on..I think we should all appreciate this richness ..
                      In Turkey there are people who know this and who appreciate this but it is hard to speak about it..State pressure, lack of human rights and so on..Everybody knows..
                      Turkish government..who cares about them..for years they told Kurds were actually Turks..so funny..
                      People who wanted to see the truth and realities always found the way to find more information about things which states have always tried to keep secret or under pressure..
