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.

    Let's "Light the Night"

    The organisations Armenica and ArmeniaDiaspora would hereby like to inform you about their world wide campaign of "Light the Night". The content of the campaign is stated below and further information can be viewed at http://www.armenica.org/light-the-night

    On the eve of April 24th, we encourage all to "Light the Night" by lighting a candle through the night of the 23rd and into the morning of the 24th, in remembrance of the 1.5 million souls that fell victim to the annihilation machine of the Ottoman Empire. Each lit candle placed on the window sill will represent a soul lost throughout the years of 1915 and 1923. Together, let's "Light the Night"; let's vow to remember, to never forget, and to pursue justice and peace for all humanity.

    The "Light the Night" campaign started last year in connection to the 90th remembrance day of the Armenian Genocide and we wish to continue this campaign hoping that it will be a permanent tradition. Last year the campaign received wide TV and radio coverage in Armenia and this year Printinfo has volunteered to contribute to the campaign by printing flyers free of charge for distribution within Armenia. We hope that you aslo could join us in this tradition.

    For campaign flyer, banner, and other information, please visit http://www.armenica.org/light-the-night and help us spreading this information to as many as possible. This information is also available at http://www.armeniadiaspora.com

      I understand demonstrations, I understand letter writing campaigns, I understand producing DVDs and films about the event. I understand holding commemoration gatherings and such. I even understand collecting email addresses on a website

      I simply cannot understand the point of lighting candles at home. What is it supposed to accomplish? Seems like it is only an effort for our entertainment.
      this post = teh win.

            I think it's a good idea, especially for those who do not live in armenia. it could be like our own little Tsitsernakaberd in our homes. And maybe, for once in a year, we could be directly connected with each other (including those far away) through a common event other than protesting. Maybe for a day we can pray with the rest of our families instead of by ourselves. Sad time of the year but at least we can improvise with what we've got and go to the monuments here as well.

            Wow, i wish my family stayed in armenia. Life would have been so much better and happier, no matter how poor or rich we would be. money's not what really matters.

              I'm really getting mad about the continuous ignorance of the Armenian Genocide... I wish I could go back in time and record most of the events that took place in the Armenian Genocide! Then we'll see who's lying! Ապուշ թուրքեր...

                  I can only partially agree with you. Let's look at it this way.

                  What is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) problems that Armenians have faced not only nowadays but for more then 8 centuries? They have always had a hard time standing and working together. That's the main reason why Armenia is in such a rediculous state today.

                  We have to learn to work together and these candles provide us with a perfect opportunity to do so. If all the Armenians in Yerevan alone placed candles below their windows, that would not only wonderfully lit up the streets, it would also show the world that our voices are one ... that we stand together. Armenians from all over the world have the chance to be together now no matter where they are and I thank whoever first got this idea. I can literally give you pages of good reasons why this is all worth our time.

                  I don't see why it's just an effort for our entertainment. I mean, no offense, but right now we should be willing to do anything that can get our past heard around the world and that can most importantly bring us together. Lighting candles is a very smart idea because there are Armenians ALL OVER THE WORLD and if all of us do light one or two, many people from all over will see us and hopefully our past, as well. And even if they don't, these candles will bring us together and I think we need that more then ever before.

                  Thank you Armenica.
                  THE ROAD TO FREEDOM AND JUSTICE IS A LONG ONE!

                    Unfortunately Elia jan, I don't think your idea would work too well because we have tons of evidence already and we can all see how TUrkey continues to deny it's hellish past. The answer to our problems doesn't lie in evidence any longer, I'm afraid. We have to take a different approach. The New Generation in Turkey is what frightens the Turkish gov. nowadays more then anything or anyone because if they figure out that they've been cheated for a century, a revolution will take place in Turkey ... a very big one, mind you. That's why you can see the 301 article flying around. That's why you can see the Turkish gov. shivering when the AG is even slightly mentioned on TV or anywhere else. Turkey's New Generation is the gov. weakest spot and right now you can already see many people thinking differently and Armenians around the world shouldn't ignore that and continue to look at all Turks as enemies. That's the WORST thing we can do right now.
                    THE ROAD TO FREEDOM AND JUSTICE IS A LONG ONE!
