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.

    There has never been such a case that I am aware of... at least not in the few years I've been here. And there have been many turks that have showed up here so it is possible to extraplote with some confidence.

    The extrapolation of the data says, the Turks that show up here have no interest in "discussing" or "learning" anything. They are only here to repeat the bull their Goverment has told them since their birth.

        Yah we can also make a thread and this discuss what if all the molecules in my body line up in such a way that I can walk right through a brick wall ...

        We could consider all those "IF's" but I think we'll be a lot better off considering and discussing the kinds of "if's" that are far more likely
        this post = teh win.

          Did I just read that?!?!? That has about as much chance of happening as God proclaiming L. Ron Hubbard the new Messiah.

            There is being sincere and genuinely interested in discussion, and then there is the facade of somehow appearing to be non-confrontational and sincere but underneath, the motive and intent is subtly evident, which represents nothing more than merely to copy and paste all the information you have and an attempt to not engage in a discussion, but simply rile things up. Such actions do not need to be overt, but in this case are covert.

              I thank you for these words. Nevertheless you shouldn't forget the fact that Ottoman Empire s rule over Anatolia was better for minorities (Armenians being a majority on eastern Anatolia) than Bizantium Empire. And if my ancestors were so barbaric then why did the Armenians help them in thier fight against the Bizantium Empire ??
              And are you forgetting the Armenians in Byzantium that helped that empire during wars? You must forget that during wars all people under that imperial rule, whether out of necessity or otherwise, owe allegiance to the ruling power, in other words, choice is not much of a factor, so your point is moot.

                This is a non-sequitur. Everytime a Turk comes here and talks about how Armenians were this or that in the Ottoman Empire or held this or that post. But so what? That only begs the question. All these things are irrelevant since all these people were eventually wiped out. We may as well argue about Hitler's Joowish soldiers, who Joos who held prestiguous positions in Germany. You are talking about apples and oranges.

                Furthermore, just because some (and I say some because the Armenians that did occupy high positions were few and far in between, with the vast majority of Armenians being an agricultural people always at the constant threat of Kurdish and Turkic marauders). Are you forgetting the millet? The open discrimination? The tax on the Christian minorities? Their testimony in court being secondary to that of a Muslim Turk? Oh please, save your talk about how Armenians had it so great in Turkey. Yea, no one denies some had it really great, but so what? That really doesn't factor into the argument here.

                  Those taxes were collected from non muslims and the revenues were used in protecting the rights of christians and making sure they could go to church and live without having any difficulties.

                    You're joking, right?

                    Sort of like when a bully collects "protection money" from the kids in the playground.

                      That is a purely illusory outlook. Not a historian in the world support the claim that somehow the Christian minorities in the millet were not heavily taxed relative to their Muslim superiors.
