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.

    NEW YORK, June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The History Channel(R) will offer a live Webcast to give families, friends, and schools in the U.S. and around the world the opportunity to watch as middle and high school students "go for the gold" at the National History Day Awards Ceremony on Thursday, June 14th at the University of Maryland in College Park.

    The History Channel Web site will showcase the Awards Ceremony of National History Day national contest during a LIVE Webcast at http://www.history.com/classroom on Thursday, June 14 from 8:30 am to 12:30 p.m. ET/PT.

    National History Day, Inc. is a nonprofit education program that presents an annual national history contest. Students present their findings of in- depth historical research in the form of documentaries, performances, exhibits, and papers and are judged by a panel of experts.

    The History Channel, a leading sponsor of National History Day, provides $20,000 in cash prizes to four winning senior student projects as well as the Outstanding History Educator Award to a teacher who has made exceptional contributions to history education.

    This year's theme of "Triumph and Tragedy in History" has inspired projects exploring the spectrum of historical figures and events. Students, from across the nation, conducted in-depth research on a wide spectrum of topics such as the Japanese American Interment Camps, the Armenian Genocide, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, the Salem Witch Trials, and the break up of The Beatles. They explored pivotal moments in the lives of notables like Stonewall Jackson, Helen Keller, Elie Wiesel, and Jackie Robinson.

    Each year's theme is broad enough to encourage investigation of topics from local to world history and from ancient times to the recent past. This year's theme presented a special challenge, asking students to examine the paradox of triumph and tragedy that many historical events present to researchers and scholars.

    "The National History Day projects explore events of local, national and international significance, so it is appropriate that the awards ceremony be available globally by Webcast," said Dr. Libby O'Connell, Chief Historian, The History Channel. "We salute all of this year's national finalists and their teachers for their dedication, impressive work and contagious enthusiasm for history."

    The goal of National History Day is to promote the study of history by engaging over half a million students annually in the excitement of historical inquiry and creative presentation. Through publications and education programs, NHD trains teachers to move students beyond textbooks and expand their classrooms to include libraries, museums and archives. Nationwide 40,000 teachers currently use NHD curriculum materials. The NHD program received the Charles Frankel Prize for Public Programming and collaborated with the National Archives to create "Our Documents," a national initiative on American history, civics, and service. More information is available at http://www.nhd.org/.

    The History Channel(R) is a leading cable television network featuring compelling original, non-fiction specials and series that bring history to life in a powerful and entertaining manner across multiple platforms. The network provides an inviting place where people experience history in new and exciting ways enabling them to connect their lives today to the great lives and events of the past that provide a blueprint for the future. The History Channel has earned four Peabody Awards, three Primetime Emmy(R) Awards, 10 News & Documentary Emmy(R) Awards and received the prestigious Governor's Award from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for the network's Save Our History(R) campaign dedicated to historic preservation and history education. The History Channel reaches more than 93 million Nielsen subscribers.
