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.

  • Presentation

    Hello friends I am back again! As the time draws near to the grand finale ; (aka GRADUATION) my mind is completely occupied by universities...Yet, school work isn't done yet and as part of my TOK (Theory of Knowledge - compulsory for IB diploma students) overall grade I must do a presentation; and when I suggested to my teacher that I do mine on the Armenian Genocide he was almost more enthusiastic about it than I! Needless to say it is a very sore subject for the Turks and here I will be tomorrow in front of a class of European South Asian and American people trying to present to them the two sides of the coin. (Because as a TOK presentation it must delve into the "ways of knowing" and present arguments which means I will have to present the two sides the so called "Turkish" side and the "Armenian" side) I will not give a personal opinion and will try to be as objective as possible (but given my training of 8 years towards being an International citizen I can say that I can be much more objective than most other Turks) I feel like I took a hard (yet ultimately rewarding) task and feel it my duty to both the Armenians and (and but to the Turks) alike...When I was thinking of how I might construct my presentation I was thinking of all my friends here...If there is anything any sites; any information etc that you might think I should add to my presentation, please tell me and I will try to do my best... As Armenians I believe you can tell your story and your side of the events much better than I...
    Its good to be back!

    The German/Austrian sources are I believe most crucial.

        Good luck and very interested in how it turns out.

        You really should have given us more then 1 day of notice however - if you really wanted any input - and time for you to obtain access to, read and digest information.

        So here is my suggestion - get a copy of Akcam's book - "A Shameful Act" and stay up all night reading it....

          There are not two sides, Jade. The coinage is worthless - a plastic fake designed to deceive the unwary. "Ways of knowing" should be the acquiring of the knowledge skills to distinguish this fake currency that pretends to be the genuine thing. I'm not just referring to the Armenian genocide-denial issue here, but to all the deceits, frauds, and lies, big and small, that are daily presented to us as the truth - and to those who propagate them for their self-interest.
          Plenipotentiary meow!

            There would only be 2 sides in this way, how the Armenian genocide affect's survivors and beneficiary's of the criminals .
