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.

    REPS. MATSUI, STRICKLAND JOIN CONGRESSIONAL ARMENIAN CAUCUS

    WASHINGTON, DC - Support continued to grow for Armenian issues on
    Capitol Hill this week as Representatives Doris Matsui (D-CA) and
    Ted Strickland (D-OH) announced their membership in the
    Congressional Armenian Caucus, reported the Armenian National
    Committee of America (ANCA). The latest additions bring the Caucus
    to over 140 members.

    "We are gratified that Representatives Strickland and Matsui have
    joined the Congressional Caucus and look forward to continuing to
    work closely with the body to further increase its membership and
    promote Armenian American community concerns," stated ANCA
    Executive Director Aram Hamparian.

    Rep. Strickland joined 98 of his Congressional colleagues this week
    in cosponsoring the Armenian Genocide resolution (H.Res.316), lead
    by Representatives George Radanovich (R-CA), Adam Schiff (D-CA),
    and Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chairs Joe Knollenberg (R-MI)
    and Frank Pallone (D-NJ). In 1997, soon after his first election
    to office, Rep. Strickland voted in support of the Radanovich-
    Pallone amendment, which maintained U.S. restrictions on aid to
    Azerbaijan until that country lifts its blockades of Armenia and
    Nagorno Karabagh. The six-term congressman serves on the powerful
    House Energy and Commerce as well as the Veterans' Affairs
    committee. A native of Lucasville, Ohio, Rep. Strickland received
    a Ph.D in Counseling and Psychology and served as a minister, a
    psychologist, and a college professor prior to his election to the
    House of Representatives.

    "I am happy to be part of a group that supports a free and
    independent Armenia," said Rep. Strickland. "It is important for
    Members of Congress to recognize the tragic history of the Armenian
    people, and work toward a future which allows for a secure,
    sovereign nation for all Armenians."

    Rep. Doris Matsui (D-CA) is a first term congresswoman representing
    the Sacramento area. She succeeded her husband, Rep. Robert
    Matsui, who had been a long-time supporter of Armenian American
    concerns and a member of the Armenian Caucus. Rep. Robert Matsui
    tragically lost his battle against a form of bone marrow cancer in
    January, 2005. Within months of her election to office, Rep. Doris
    Matsui began active support of Armenian American concerns,
    cosigning the Congressional letter to President Bush urging him to
    properly characterize the Armenian Genocide as 'genocide.' She is
    also a cosponsor of the Armenian Genocide Resolution (H.Res.316).

    "I am pleased to join the Armenian Caucus and look forward to
    working with the Caucus on a range of political and educational
    activities," noted Rep. Matsui.
