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.

  • Armenia memorial stolen in France

    BBC, News, BBC News, news online, world, uk, international, foreign, british, online, service


    A bronze statue commemorating the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Armenians in Turkey has been stolen from the Paris suburb of Chaville.

    Police say the monument may have been taken to be sold as scrap metal.

    But some are connecting the theft to last Thursday's vote by the French parliament making it a crime to deny that Armenians suffered "genocide".

    Armenia says Ottoman Turks killed 1.5 million people systematically in 1915 - a claim strongly denied by Turkey.

    The 300kg (660lb) sculpture was cut off its pedestal in the suburb of Chaville 13km (8 miles) from Paris some time between Friday night and Saturday morning, local officials said.

    But the site in front of Chaville's train station had otherwise not been vandalised and there was no graffiti.


    One motive may have been money with the monument, which was erected in 2002, being taken to be melted down and sold on as scrap.

    But Stephane Topalian, a member of the Armenian church council in Chaville, said that was unlikely.

    "Police say it might have been stolen for the metal, but it seems too much of a coincidence that this should have happened just after parliament voted the Armenia bill," he told Reuters news agency.

    Turkey condemned the French vote which would make it a crime to deny that Armenians suffered "genocide" at the hands of the Ottoman Turks.

    Ankara, which said the move was a serious blow to relations, threatened sanctions. The vote was also criticised by the EU.

    The bill still needs to be approved by the Senate and the president to become law.

    France has a large Armenian community, with up to 500,000 people of Armenian descent.

    There are more than 30 memorials to Armenian victims across France.

    Re: Armenia memorial stolen in France

    We should ask some of the turds on this forum if they might know anything. Surely, there's a member of some turdish forum that has just made a thread, or will make one soon, boasting how he went to the site and stole the memorial.

            They can't do this, cause there are still 380 thousand of armenian votes in France
