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.

    Liberal voice of Turkey always been there!

    But with the help of technology liberal's do reach a bigger multitude of people,so nothing except technology has changed of course the shadows of karagoz and hacivat seems less scary.And it seem's like the rhetorics of the nationalist's are falling more and more on deaf ears because the ridicoulusness of some of their declarations and claims but in the past they overcame the shortcoming's of their histo-ideological nonsense with brute force and i see no real intention or incentive for them to change.. unless their invaded then they'll become like lambs.You take the 25M Kurt-Alevi away that leaves about 50M half of them could be deported to greater Israel when US takes over Iran&syria another 13M probably stay in Europe,Istanbul and remaining 13M greater Armenia can manage to live with I mean every Armenian can control 20 Turks 2-1 ratio is no big deal at all :Of course this may seem far fetched but it is possible Maybe I'll write a book called the "Gavur Storm".

      I found this quote tonight, thought I'd share (for any Darwin fans out there especially!):

      "Darwin himself had a low opinion of the Turkish race."

        Of course, Turkey has not plenty of changing. It is not easy to do this in 80 years. Especially in administrative domain there are still people who still have Ottoman mentality. Since 1923, unless reactionaries had come to the power there would have been more changings. And militarist strokes, the last stroke of 1980 caused to turning back in human rights and personal opinions. Unfortunately, everything doesnt go well always.

          I think we're all assuming the poll is about good "change",I think if it changed at all it probably changed more to the worse then good.
