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.

    Sometimes it happens lal. But i humbly suggest you to look at history and skies. We are too small creatures in the universe. Maybe you donot need consolation but something real. But dont give up, always there is hope. At least there must be.

      Wow, Bell if I'm in agreement with him I'm sure to be on someone's hitlist, but you, you're on first name terms????
      I'm no expert on Islam but thought that THE core aim of Islamists was universal adherence to Islam.

        Arda, believe it or not, I'm tired of having everyone riding in the wrong direction. Can we start something and finish it the way we intended? Bell might be saying a few things wrong but the truth is there is a lot mixed up in the Muslim culture. Blaming and reducing everyone won't help though, I completely agree but doubt that everything we were saying was reducing Islam.

        Tell me what you need help with and I'll try to help Arda but let's stay on topic and this won't happen. This is the second/third time I'm trying to start something and the conversation goes somewhere else. Guys, please, this really shows we can't do anything together. We just talk in the air.
        Saco Jan, please stop being the headmaster, it doesn't suit you. Numerous times you are asking people "to get back on track/thread", the beauty of this forum is that we never know the end result of each thread, we can only achieve goals through discussion and discourse. Unless of course, you have a predetermined end for this thread when perhaps you could pm all your/our posts in future for approval.

          Sorry Steph , didn't mean it that way. I just wanted us to stay on track and not just see where the thread goes. In the end, we begin to talk about very different subjects and that's kinda what I didn't want. I sort of expected to have a Q&A session since many of us haven't really talked about the present Turkey and Armenia without bringing in the Genocide and all. Now the thread sort of got deeper into religion which really is a LONG conversation. I know how deep it can go, Steph Jan, and that's what I wanted to stop. Sorry if it seemed like I was acting like the leader here or something . I wanted us to make a plan and stick to it because this thread could be a great teacher for many Armenians and Turks, the way I imagined it. Many of us don't know each other very well when it comes to the present. I wanted this thread to sort of set an example you can say and allow other members to come in, ask questions, get answers, and learn about each other WITHOUT remembering the past and talking about the present. That's what I had in mind, sorry if I messed up.
          THE ROAD TO FREEDOM AND JUSTICE IS A LONG ONE!

            because the battle ground is anatolia not america. you have to come into the brains of turks ,not americans. americans will give you a very small temporary relief. your real desire must be a demand from turks. they must admit that armenians didnt deserve such a terrible total destruction.they were good people.
            That is my desire Lal but you don't understand, we can't start that battle in Anatolia. Many countries look up at America as a sort of leader, good or bad, and if the big guys set an example, many may follow. I don't care what Turkey think's or how weird they'll act after that. They already are, that's why. If America doesn't accept the Genocide, what do you think we should do? Enter Anatolia with banners and start a parade? You don't seem to understand how heavy the air is there. A war may even begin after the slightest step. We tried to help the Turks when their people were under the piles of rocks after the earthquake but no one allowed us in. So who is going to allow us into the "battle grounds"? Your not looking at the situation reasonably. Your hate towards America makes you look at their recognition of the Genocide in different ways.

            today ım not in my good mood, ım depresive and write all pessimist things. ım sorry.
            Don't worry about it, we all have this moment now and then, get it off your mind. I think we all appreciate what your going through. Look at me, I accidentally began to talk like a colonel on the forums it seems, lol. We all have awkward moments. Don't let it get to you. You can feel at home here, I know I do .

              Saco, don't think you messed up, I don't think that, but these discussions will really go where they go, perhaps longer and deeper than intended. Most members don't have a common language and English is the default used. Incredibly the standard is very high and many users must go to great lengths to contribute and also the different time zones we all live in, the different domestic obligations we all have means that these can spread over weeks or longer. Saco Jan, you've not messed up! Indeed, you've breathed a little fresh air into here.

                We've many different religions, denominations and non-religious people here. The upcoming holiday season will see a wide variety of celebration and of course, date.

                What are the unique aspects of celebration where you live?

                Which,if any, do you enjoy most?
                Saco, come on then.............this is open to all for answers about what is good/bad/indifferent during the coming weeks in your neighbourhoods.

                  well ,in our small worlds,it is difficult to be happy, unless you belong to the privilaged class of people.they decide for us. they can reach anything they want to. they have everything to be happy with.we, the other 90% just be happy by watching the privilaged ones.

                  in the bigger world,the emperor america chose a leader like mr bush for the last 8 years. so since america is the leader and most powerful country, bush is the most intelligent and most competent person of the world. we deserved him.

                  in our spritual worlds we follow the mentally ill guys from middle east, thousands years ago,who claimed that they talked to the creator of universe and gave us the receipie of to go to heaven.we made huge buildings, so that we can feel so small infront of the creator, we killed murdered for the creator, and we still do.

                  if billions of people choose leaders like mr bush, mr jesus, mr muhammed to follow. what can ı say. ım the one retarted probably.

                  but,isnt it than normal that we turks can deny such an obvious, AG. is it so strange?

                    I kind of like it - especially the way that your writing in English gets a bit rough and broken-up.
