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.

    Try to parody your way out of your useless position.

    History and news about the modern Turkish Railway (TCDD) and the former Anatolian Railways (OC, ORC, SCP, CFOA). A special emphasis is placed on steam locomotives in Turkey


    Also you could buy/loan one or both of these books :

    "Studies in German Colonial History" by W O Henderson. (pages 77-79)
    "The Killing Trap" by Manus I Midlarsky. (pages 215-218)

    Read these or have someone do it for you.

        Please note you are claiming:
        a) that people had industrial age oil derricks in "China at 347 CE" - Bullxxxx!
        b) That chinese production of the oil is the same as in the industrial era - okay then...but I don't think so :P
        c) Cars were cheap and affordable in 19th century and most people had a car
        d) That there is no difference between a petrol powered engine and a steam powered one, and that the engine of 1800s was the same as used in 1900s.

        So I am not dodging...:P Your just saying some correct info and backing it up with bullxxxx. As for the 20th century part I am half right since I can easily argue forever that the car of the 19th century is no way the same as the one of the 20th century...and that the 20th century car is what I was talking about. But never mind that.

        I don't need a sense of humour...laughing at your comments was enough. :P

          Hilarious.

          I've been on this carousel before where over a few posts you slightly change the subject of the original post. Your numbered assumptions from my post are incredible. Reading between the lines to that degree must turn a daily newspaper into an epic.

              Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.


              Taken from the description of the video: "Enver Pasha takes personal command of the Ottoman Third Army (95,000 men) and sends it to attack Russian forces in the Caucasus. German military advisor, General Liman von Sanders, advises against a mountain offensive in winter. On December 29, 1914, the Ottoman advance is halted by about 100,000 Russian troops at Sarikamesh. Six days later, the Turks have lost 30,000 men and reel back toward the city of Erzurum. More soldiers desert or die of frostbite; more than half of the Third Army is lost."

              BTW, that figure is wrong. They lost closer to 90% of the army by the time you factor in the deserters and those that died during the retreat. Was it at this point that "the Russians were in a state of panic", Bell? The only thing the Turks won was an insignificant battle in Bergmann. The rest of the time, they got their asses handed to them on account of Enver's ignorance and arrogance. Welcome to WWI 101.





              ......wow.....just....I don't even know where to start with this one, other than look up Turkey's excuses today for the deportations.

              Watch and learn basic history. Also, watch the documentary "Blood and Oil" which was just posted to YouTube late last year all the way through. As the title suggests, it does a good job explaining the importance that oil played even in WWI.



              Seriously, Bell. Was your reply a joke? All your talk and posturing about how well versed you are on this subject, how we'd need to pay you $10k and wait 6 months for your version of a report on this subject, all your belittling of other members for not relying on facts, or knowing the truth about this subject, and this is the best you could come up with for a reply?? You have lost all credibility in my eyes on this subject. Never, EVER speak of the Armenian genocide again.

              As for you, Ferdi, for the millionth time, do some research on this subject. Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinions. However, not all opinions are created equal. For example, all you're doing is pulling opinions from out of your ass with ZERO facts to base them on. I'm telling you what the facts show, you're telling me "no, I don't think so because I'd rather not believe that/it doesn't make sense to me". Please stop commenting on things you have absolutely know knowledge of.
              Please, Crimson Glow, I've said before that I don't doubt your good intentions with your history postings, and you don't seem to be like the neanderthal majority that roam this forum - but if you are going to attack people who point out obvious errors than maybe it is better for you to post nothing on these subjects. You don't yet seem to know enough about the subjects to write accurately about them (I know that doesn't stop the morons like Gavur who know nothing at all from posting at great length). A lot of what you are posting could have come straight out of a Turkish propaganda book!

              Have you read any books about the Sarikamish offensive and the period immediately before it? Russian forces in the Caucasus were in a state of complete panic and disorganisation. Turkey had already captured Ardahan and Artvin only a few months earlier, routing the Russian army. "Bergmann" is not a place, it was the name of the defeated Russian commander. In expectation of further defeats Russia then withdrew all its troops from northern Iran, leaving the way open for the Turkish army to occupy it and massacre most of the Christians living there (an event which foreshadowed the Armenian Geniocide). The Russian army was preparing to abandon Kars as the Sarikamish battle was reached its climax (start of January 1915) and they expected total defeat. If it were not for the citizens of Sarikamish, and the soldiers based there, who decided to try and defend the town, preventing the Turks from getting shelter there from the severe weather, Turkey would have won.

              And you oil nonsense is lifted straight from 1920s Bolshevik propaganda (invented to justify their occupation of the Caucasus republics). Turkey, never one to miss a trick, has just adapted that old lie for their own use.
