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.

    Poster to Document Faces of the First Genocide of the 20th Century One of the Last Survivors
    Sam Kadorian Dies in Los Angeles at Age 98



    Honor and document the memory of a family/friend who lived to tell his/her personal history of Genocide on a commemorative 90th anniversary poster. call AFF 805-495-0717 or visit armenianfilm.org to learn more.

    (PRWEB) October 30, 2005 -- The faces of more and more survivors of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 are being added to the Armenian Film Foundation’s commemorative poster. A series of beautifully designed posters is now being considered to accommodate all who elect to participate. Paul Kalemkiarian, Sr. of Escondido has chosen to sponsor 45 family members -- Michael Minasian of Montebello is sponsoring four.

    Greg Kadorian, son of survivor Sam Kadorian of Van Nuys, submitted a sponsorship form for his father not long before Sam’s passing last month at the age of 98. “Sam was always eager to share his personal history and welcomed being photographed and interviewed. I think, since he himself was a photographer, he appreciated and wanted to support our efforts to create a world renowned archive of visual materials on Armenian heritage,” commented Dr. J. Michael Hagopian, founder and chairman of the Foundation. “His son’s gesture is a fitting tribute to a fine man who, despite the atrocities he endured and witnessed during the Genocide, went on to live a rich and full life.”

    The poster project gives a voice to survivors, some who are unknown to those who decide to sponsor them. “Since my family lived in Iran and was fortunate to escape the atrocities, I chose to sponsor Haig Ohanian, a respected teacher and Genocide survivor,” says Claris Sayadian-Dodge, project co-chair. “Each sponsor will receive a copy of the finished poster, a wonderful keepsake that the Armenian Film Foundation plans to also circulate among educational institutions, and cultural and media organizations worldwide.”

    Participating in the Sponsor-A-Survivor poster project is simple. A submission form can be downloaded from the Foundation’s website at www.armenianfilm.org or requested by calling the AFF office at 805-495-0717. The form, photograph of a survivor, tax-deductible donation of $250 payable to the Armenian Film Foundation, and brief biographical sketch should be mailed to the Foundation at 2219 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd., Ste. 292, Thousand Oaks, CA 91362. If preferred, interested parties can sponsor one of the nearly 400 survivors whose filmed interviews already comprise the AFF archives.

    The Armenian Film Foundation is dedicated to preserving the visual and personal histories of the witnesses of the first Genocide of the 20th Century. Proceeds from the Sponsor-A-Survivor project will go toward the completion of Caravans Along the Euphrates, the third and final film of internationally award-winning THE WITNESSES trilogy and “crown jewel” of the Foundation’s documentary films. The first two films, "Germany & The Secret Genocide" and "Voices From The Lake" are available through AFF.
