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.

    If Antranik could only muster 200,000 Armenians out of the 2 million (10% of our pop in Turkey at the time) to fight back, there would have been no genocide, and there would not have been a Turkey today as we know it. Instead, he only had 6,000 Fedayeen, and so, we lost. Then, the Turks inflated this small number into the 200,000 men we should've had, the 200,000 men who would've utterly meant a death sentence to Pan-Turkism right then and there, way before 1918.

    We Armenians haven't changed so much since then, as only a minority of us realize this situation and know what must be done to protect our race effectively from future annihilation.
    It is sad, but I must agree...

      Well, I'm not quite sure they are trying to make a direct comparison between the Armenian Genocide and African-American slavery. They are drawing parallels how both races were oppressed in their respective countries and the long term psychological effect is has had to their race and humanity in general. Just as Armenians cannot be people with self determination while under the rule of other powers, the African-Americans in the same sense have no power to determine their own future.

      If there was ever a movement so strong that African-Americans united and demanded their own state, which they, and only they have rule over what kind of impact would that have to the United States? Don't the descendants whose ancestors slaved in fields and factories to make America the wealthy and powerful country it is today deserve to be compensated for with land and reparations for centuries of unjust treatment?

        However that issue has nothing in common with AG recognition, I would rather do not make any parallels.

          -1/ It is interesting to notice how this racist guy reduces President Obama to a slave, just because he has African blood. And how he annihilates 144 years of American history since 1865 (abolition of slavery by President Lincoln)

          - 2/ Armenians were never slaves ? What is a slave ? A slave is a free person who has been captured and then a victim of an important system of alienation. There must be web pages about revolts of slaves against this system. I know for French West Indies.

          - 3/ I think this Mukuch guy is an offence to the AG.

          - 4/ Turks considered Armenians (and the other christian indegenous peoples) as cattle. Indeed, unfortunatly Turks behaved with us as we were cattle. Let me remind the Blood Tax of Devshirmeh :

          Google's service, offered free of charge, instantly translates words, phrases, and web pages between English and over 100 other languages.





          This Mukuch guy just has a touch of Armenian Culture and thus he behaves like this. In Europe, at least we have a historical experience more important than in the USA. How did these racist guys behave with particular circumstances in Europe ? In the Soviet Union, they became KGB members and in occupied France by Germany, they collaborated with the nazis.

          Was not this Mukuch guy banned from HyeClub Forum ? ...because of his utmost racist (disgusting and revolting) messages, now deleted in this thread : http://forum.hyeclub.com/showthread.php?t=17562

                My wife and i met up with another armenian couple the other night at a bar/restaurant that all four of us had been to before. Last time they had a pretty cool band playing and we figured they would have the same thing again so we were expecting a bunch of white people and a decent band. When we got there we were the only non-blacks there and as time went by the place got filled to the hilt and still we were the only white people there. Instead of a band they had a DJ that night so i was disapointed untill he started playing his tune. The DJ turned out to be freakin awsome he had the whole place dancing all night with great music and everyone including us non-blacks were having a great time drinking good booz, eating decent food and partying down to some great music. We had a better time that night then the last time we were there. Racism is a ugly thing and it sadens me to see racists in this forum. Racism is simply a product of ignorence and nothing else.

                  Berlin was maybe a defeat in his boxing carreer but it can be the starting point of a sportive and marvellous friendship of an African American boxer with an Armenian one : http://www.flickr.com/photos/shospor...07824952/show/

                  Haykakan, please try also to contact US Armenians in boxing :

                    Sure both us and blacks have suffered in many ways but thats life. You pick up and move on instead of dwelling on tragic events which both blacks and armenians do. If you can get justice then great if not, then you dont make it your excuse, you move on!

                      taylor was talking s*it before the fight and paid the price for it.
                      For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
                      to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.
