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.

      Like often, I'm not sure what level to read that on...

      The person who benefits from 'forgiveness' is the one who does the forgiving. Otherwise hatred (and to a lesser degree anger) will live in that person, fester, and harm the person harboring. Your thoughts affect your body--bad emotions should be released. You don't have to forgive those who commit genocide (or any other horrific act) for their benefit, but my advice is to do so for your own. Otherwise, the genocide is still ongoing, with lingering hatred being the slow killer of Armenians.

          How ironic is it that you are calling ME ignorant. Don't you realize that it was Armenians like you that were partly responsible for the Genocide? You're absurd "forgiveness" mindset in the face of extreme evil opened the way for wholesale massacre. You strike me as so stupid and suicidal that you would probably say "I forgive you" to a person who is simultaneously stabbing you're grandmother.
          Go away site-pest. I would rather have Attaturk on this board.

            1. You clearly don't understand what I'm talking about.
            2. You really don't know what you are talking about, either.

              Will Armenians forgive that horror and work towards peace, is my question right now.

              I am not saying just 'admit' is the end of what happens, either.
              To forgive means to forget; to completely wipe away the transgression taken place, to let it go. We can not fogive them until they admit they have done anything wrong.

              WHY do you even pose such a question?!!! It sounds like you're putting the blame on the victim. We do not need nor can we forgive.

                  Is that all you have to say? How about furnishing some evidence instead of posting a goofy icon "". Sereously, are you trying to be cute (because it's not working)?
                  If you continue to posts comments like this you're going to go from nitwit status to complete retard status real quick.
                  Again, useless site pest, I ask you: Please go away. You are an embarrassment and a distraction.

                    Forgive doesn't mean forget, at all.

                    When I worked with victims of rape and sexual assault, for example, one of the things that could empower the victims of the crime was to 'forgive' the criminal who did the vile and violent act. That crime is about power. The criminal likes that the crime continues to victimize the victim for long after the crime. They get off on the psychology of continued harm and mental torture of their victims, even long after the physical crime.

                    Forgiveness doesn't minimize the seriousness what the criminal did, but what it does is stop the continued harm being done to the victim. The woman becomes empowered as a survivor and less a victim. My point is that to forgive empowers you and not doing so eats you up inside--they continue to 'win' then.
