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.

  • Re: Armenians are Europeans ( and white ) !

    I have said this before (other threads) and will say it again ... the question of this thread is backwards. It is NOT a matter of whether Armenians are White or European. The main question is: Are Europeans or Whites Armenian?
    this post = teh win.

      Oh my brunette friend, it is hard to live in west as a middle eastern, isn't it? If you are not white how can you make racism against Turks? Two eastern nation hates? Dog eat dog?
      You guys are so poor, full of inferiority complex, you totally forgot how to be an original Armenian. Oh, so miserable.

        Well, personally I am Albanian origin who live in Turkey. As an Albanian my homeland is in Europe (not ib Caucasia or else ) My ancestors are the founder nation of Roman Empire with Latins. But I don't feel myself as European or have an obsession as being European. I am from Balkans.
        I think you believe being "white" is something very shiny, very carismatic,
        I think you are watching too much American film and get angry with your identity. Oh poor guys, OK don't be upset, you are European, too.

          Do Turks know how to be original turks? :P

          I'll admit that the common attitudes shared by the Armenians around here aren't very compatible for learning about the deeper roots of our heritage, but everyone is like that, especially if they no longer live in their ancestrial homelands, or if their ancestrial homelands have been ethnically cleansed.

          The most we can do today is discover our Armenian roots for ourselves and not be disillusioned by the popular destructive movements of Armenians, such as the trip Armenians in Canada take every year to Ottawa where they cause chaos by wrecking the property of the Parliament Building like a bunch of animals, demanding recognition for the genocide... That's really gonna get us respectful answers...

            when you talk about your ancestors i suppose that you mean the illyrians......and true there where some illyrians who became emperors of Rome, i think Aurelian and Diocletian where illyrians and there was some more that i can't recall. The turks made the albanians muslim during the 1800....the albanians had been catholics for over 1000 years but when the turks came the albanian (illyrian) culture was raped and replaced with something more fitting. Some tried to resist like the albanian national hero Skender-Beg. Strange that the albanians like turks and turkey at the same time as they worshipe skenderbeg wile he himslef hated turks more then everything else..

            and ohh...the illyrians did not create the roman empire.......illyrians became emperors when the empire stood at it's peak...then when this guys came the empire became more decadent...(not meaning that the emperors was bad)

                It interesting that almost everything you know about history is wrong.
                1. Illyrians are the oldest nation of Europe. But I don't beg Europeans to admit Abanians as white. It is shameful for you. You don't necessarily have to be white to gain respect from stupid Europeans. Being Armenian from Caucasia and Middle East is respectful enough. Try to respect yourself first to give up your inferiority complexes.
                2. Albanians did not become Muslim at 1800, we adopt Islam at 1400s. And we and also Bosnians are not converted to Islam by force. You have to be familiar with the social and economical background of Albanians and Bosnians at middle ages to understand this issue. If Ottomans forced us to become Muslim, why do they only force 2 nations and ignore all Greeks, Serbians, Romaniansi Bulgarians, Macedonians, etc. I can send you articles if you really want to learn more about this issue.
                By the way, Albanian religion is Albanianism!
                3. Yes, we are nationalist for both Turkey and Albania at the same time. Turkey is my homeland and I am proud of being Turkish. But Albanian is my ethnic background and I am proud of being Albanian, too. Turks, Albanians, Bosnians, Circassians, Kurds, Arabs, etc. established the Republic of Turkey together. It is not easy for you to understand since you focus only your ethnical background.

                  Denying your eastern roots is not the good way to discover your culture. You are one of the Christian nations of midlle east like many others. You are not Europeans. Come on Just grow up. Being inflecteed from European culture doesn't make you European. If so then Turks are also one of the most westernised nation in the region. Same for Russians, too. But none of them are Europeans.

                    Did we deny that we were Eastern Christians? I don't think so. I consider myself Armenian above all other things. I don't care about Europe, North America or the Middle East. Those boundaries change over time.

                    I also recognize your posting style and I know that you've been on this forum before. I also remember you being banned several times. Ah well.

                      Correcto mundo, he's the Albanian turk, who indeed was banned a while back. In a way it's good you know: we recycle our turks and recycling is important.
