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.

  • "Digital Denial": Computer Hacking

    In connection with the 90th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide the Turk and Azeri hackers more and more frequently attack the Armenian Internet sources. The Armenian forums are the main target. Hayk Asatrian who is the author of several Armenian web sites noticed the activization of attacks since late February. "They not only damage our web sites but also change the messages of the forums, " Asatrian said. For instance, he noticed that at www.genocide.com where various genocides of the world are being discussed the web page of "The Armenian Genocide" has been recently renamed into "The So-Called Armenian Genocide. Such A Thing Never Happened."

    In order to protect his web sites form the attacks of the Azeri and Turk hackers, Asatrian forbade the reception of the messages from the Turkish and Azeri IPs to his sites. Asatrian receives each message sent by them and only after having read that he posts them on the Internet.

    The hackers have already damaged genocide.ru, forum.hayastan.com, genocideevents.com web sites. It is almost a week that the forum of Iravounk web site doesn’t function. Hrachia Khachatrian, designer of the page found out that the hacker is an Azeri young man who is in the sphere for almost two years. "He deleted the whole information of the forum, writing curses instead." Hrachia Khachatrian said. One can easily find ways of damaging various programs in Internet. Today, the forum page of www.iravunk.com is being updated and a protection program will be installed.

    The experts say that till April 24 the hackers will attack our sites more intensively. "Hacking is no way of struggle against the attacks of the Turks and Azeris for us. We need to secure our safety at state level, i.e. the government should prepare specialist of the sphere," Khachatrian said.

    You know what, I think Armenian National Committee of America's website got hacked as well then... The site has the latest updates on genocide recognition achievements, petitions to sign, etc. And the URL, http://anca.org/press_releases/press...s.php?prid=703, hasn't been functioning for 2 days now, which is very weird, specially since it's April and all! I was thinking that this morning, and now I read your post!

    Very interesting...
    Pathetic Turks, what are you so scared of?

      I do indeed think it is a shame that these things have happened to Armenian websites. Are their any sites on the net co-run by both Armenians and Turks, or Armenians and Azeris? The start of such a site would be an excellent move toward peace.

        www.armenia.com is hacked!

        How pathetic!! And they call "us" haters... We can see who the real haters are, and apparently, the mentality of 1915 is still present today.

          You mean besides the fact that when I tried to access the site, instead of Armenia.com I was connected to a site with black background and red boxes with a message that said "site f$cked by Turkish something" (don't remember their name) and now it's been four days that the site only displays the message "After unfortunate and futile attempts of people of questionable behavior and morals...." ?

          You're right, now that I think about it, why would Turks want to hack armenia.com.... They must have been French hackers! Or maybe even Japanese.

            Genocide forum tolerates deniers

            I-Newswire.com (press release)
            July 28 2005

            Genocide forum tolerates deniers

            In April of 2005, genocide.com, a public forum for genocide
            discussion, was hacked by the Turkish deniers of the Armenian
            Genocide. By the 24th of April, the website was liberated from the
            deniers. The academic forum is being moderated currently by the
            administration of genocide.com.

            (I-Newswire) - The forum currently contains two major sections:
            Genocide Related Topics and Politics influencing genocide. Specific
            cases of genocides discussed are as followed: Aboriginal, Armenian,
            Bosnian, Cambodian, Gypsy, Jewish, Kosovo and Rwanda.

            Though the administration of www.genocide.com officially recognizes
            the above listed genocides, genocide deniers are tolerated on the
            forum, as far as these users do not break the general.

            In the past, the forum was not being moderated at all. This fact was
            especially exploited by some Turkish deniers of the Armenian
            Genocide, who posted a number of offensive and racist threads. When
            the 90th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide was approaching, these
            Turkish users did their best to hack the forum. The forum was hacked
            and the English language threads were distorted ( for instance, the
            section `Armenian Genocide' became `So-called Armenian Genocide' );
            threads in Turkish were added.

            The Armenian Genocide was committed between 1915 and 1923 by the
            Ottoman-Turkish government. As a result of the Genocide, more than a
            million Armenians were annihilated and the entire Armenian population
            of the western part of historic Armenia was wiped off from her
            motherland. The cultural losses constituted more than 2000 Armenian
            cathedrals, some of them as old as 1700 years. Armenia was the first
            country to adopt Christianity as the state religion.

            The Republic of Turkey and its agents have contributed a lot of
            efforts in denying the Armenian Genocide. It has been done by
            falsification of historical facts, destruction of Armenian cultural
            monuments, distortion of Armenian geographical names ( such as Mount
            Ararat, which was converted into Agri Dagh ) and other various forms.
            The attempt to hack www.genocide.com was another form of genocide
            denial.

            Administration of www.genocide.com will do its best to avoid future
            attacks.

                  "Digital Denial": Computer Hacking

                  The biggest hacking incident in the web-hosting history

                  Roberto Preatoni (SyS64738)
                  05/18/2006

                  Yesterday the Turkish cracker going by the handle "Iskorpitx", succesfully hacked 21,549 websites in one shot and defaced (on a secondary page) all of them with a message showing the Turkish flag (with AtaTurk face on it) and reporting:
                  "HACKED BY iSKORPiTX

                  (TURKISH HACKER)

                  xxxxED ARMANIAN-xxxxED FRANCE-xxxxED GREECE-xxxxED PKK TERROR

                  iscorpitx, marque du monde, présente ses salutations à tout le monde. "

                  Iskorpitx controversial defacing activity started back in year 2003 being the first Turkish defacer ever. His defacing frenzy led him soon to reach the "incredible" number of more than 117,000 hacked websites some of them being even government websites of his own country. In this last incident, it is not clear at which level the intrusion was performed (root or webserver) as the fact that all the 21,549 websites got defaced on a secondary page (site.com/ssfm/isko.htm) it is not indicative given the particular Iskorpitx's modus operandi that sees all of his hacks performed creating a subpage, regardless the authorization level achieved on the attacked servers.

                  In the recent months Iskorptix has been taken as a model to be imitated by a lot of young Turkish crackers, making Turkey the new defacers kingdom, totaling nowadays more than 50% of the notified defacements overall, surclassing the former defacers kingdom: Brasil.

                  Script Kiddies or Script Grannies? Iskorpitx is believed to be 45 years old, sometimes being helped for minor defacment activities by another Turkish "senior cracker" (42) going by the handle of Metlak .

                  Despite the fact that the majority of Turkish defacers are performing Islam-related hacks, this doesn't seem to be the leading motivation for Iskorpitx.
