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.

    "Bad things happen when empires fall apart. Harking back to Armenia in 1915 will only drive modern Turkey into China’s arms".

    Subject: Genocide of Armenians and Norman Stone
    Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:38:00 +0000

    Sir,
    I was distressed and surprised that "The Times" of London would furnish Prof. Norman Stone with space to try to mitigate the horrendous mass crime that Turkey inflicted upon it's innocent Armenian citizens, including my grandparents in faraway Urfa, and most of the members of my extended family in Cilicia.

    Stone, an employee of the University of Ankara, is a "hired computer" of the Turkish government, and such, his views on the Genocide of Armenians have been discredited for a number of years.

    What surprises me that "The Thunderer", with extensive coverage of the genocide (1915 to 1923), displays the memory of a guppy. The Genocide of Armenians is not an allegation, it's not so-called, it should not be placed in quotes, and it shouldn't be introduced with "Armenians claim that..." It's a historic fact, supported by the International Association of Genocide Scholars, among countless credible sources.

    It might be inconvenient for Turkey's friends to admit the killing of 1.5 million Armenians and the exile of 500,000 to the Syrian Desert, but a publication with the integrity of "The Times" should not join the shameless gang of genocide deniers. The genocide was so successful that today millions of Turks don't know that the eastern part of Asia Minor was the homeland of Armenians since, at least, 2,250 B.C. Unhappy that historians, Armenians, and non-Armenians keep the memory of the mass murder alive and demand justice, in the past 90 years the Turkish state has pulverized Armenian monuments, churches, graveyards, and anything which indicates Armenians were in Asia Minor. They have also changed place names.

    By allowing hired guns like Prof. Stone to spout his lies, you inadvertently become party to the denial of the Genocide of Armenians. I hope you assign another historian, someone with no axe to grind, to bring balance to Prof. Stone's false version of the Genocide of Armenians.
