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.

    Perhaps when the Armenian diaspora stops:
    - drawing flimsy parrallels (i.e. Nazi Germany for sympathy),
    - exaggerating facts (i.e. influence of Oil and rail),
    - inflating figures (deaths 1.5+ or even 2m+ for 'marketing' impact in foreign parliaments).
    You keep talking about Nazi Germany, this shoes the depth of your knowledge of history............anything else you say is tainted.
    Do some research before you come back.

    FYI, Imperial Germany was in cahoots with the ottoman butchers.

      Duhh... read between the lines genius. I'm highlighting the artificial link created by Armenians and the j. Holocaust (committed by the Nazi's) to illicit sympathy. You guys appear to have no problem throwing around this so called Hitler quote like confetti to achieve your political aims but we all know the link is fiction. Ofcourse Nazi's have no connection to the Ottomans, so stop peddling bullsh#t quotes.
      fredi, why don't you just...............

        So you don't think the German military was involved with the planning of the Genocide? You don't think that they were experienced in the art of Imperialism? The two events weren't all that far apart in the context of history. Except oddly enough the Nazi's were dumb enough to document everything while the conspirators in WWI were smart enough to cover everything up.

        Oil and rail... I guess it's not a coincidence that Britain took mandate over Iraq after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire which was known to have massive deposits of oil. But no... oil wasn't an influence.

        Inflating figures..... I'll even agree that some of the figures are exaggerated because there is no way to accurately estimate the numbers since the conspirators have done such a great job hiding the facts. There is no way that the Turkish government's ridiculous 400,000 is acceptable.

          Regards population figures, it was pretty much standard practice in many places to file lower numbers than actual, to avoid taxes and military service.
          Probably the only way to calculate numbers is to take an average family unit size and multiply it by the number of Armenian households. (remembering, of course, the extended family groups).
          Would it be realistic to use the number of churches as a guide to population size?

          One of the reasons why there was no US Mandate/Protectorate for the RoA was that Britain held Mosul, for it's oil, and the US couls see no tangible benefits for themselves, so they began to cultivate relations with the turcs, hoping to dislodge the British from the oilfield areas of Middle East.
          But of course, oil had nothing to do with it.

          Of course, when the British troops left the Caucasus, the French volunteered to replace them. Rather than sail to Batumi, they chose to land in Cilicia and were supposed to march inland. Well, we all know what happened then, che?
