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.

    DEAR READERS!

    Our site ‘’defacto.am’’, alongside with Armenia’s other sites, was recently subject to hackers’ attack. Azerbaijani electronic informational agency asserts that Armenian sites’ breaking-up is the handiwork of Azerbaijani hackers. Judging by everything it is the truth. Swear-words concerning Armenian nation were placed on the site’s broken page, while July’s information and articles were erased.
    Answering an Azeri journalist’s question why the hacker (a certain Arif) does it, the latter gallantly reported that he fought against Armenians ‘’with his own weapon’’. The informational agency chose the same gallantly-pathetic tone by placing the information entitled ‘’ARMENIAN SITES ARE WAITING FOR AZERI HACKERS’ NEW ATTACKS’’ on their page.
    Anyway, there is nothing new in a controversy with Azerbaijan that started twenty years ago. Each one really chooses ‘’his own weapon’’. For instance, while covering Karabakh conflict and the issues referring to Armenian-Azeri relations, we always try to be very correct in the sore controversy. Our sharpest ‘’weapon’’ is satire. We resort to it when Azerbaijani mass media go too far or use a frank lie.
    Azerbaijanis responded to peaceful rallies in Stepanakert by means of ‘‘Soumgait’’, choosing knives and sharp iron rods as their weapon. Nowadays they respond to Armenian mass media’s constructive and analytical proposals by resorting to hackers.
    While talking to the Azeri journalist, the hacker Arif was enthusiastic about the fact that there was a hackers’ community in Azerbaijan, which, in his opinion, should be encouraged to strengthen its power and influence. As for Armenian hackers, he said actually there were not any hackers in Armenia.
    That’s right. We don’t know them either. Maybe the reason is that there are no hackers here. Consequently, there is no community either. The thing is not that it is a difficult business from the viewpoint of technical, all the more intellectual possibilities. Just the thing is that the instinct of destruction is not typical of Armenian mentality. We prefer a civilized argument. I mean an argument and not a war; even if it is called informational.

    • Turkish hackers threaten to crack all Armenian websites
      20.12.2008 15:58 GMT+04:00
      /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish hackers have cracked the website where the apology petition was posted and threatened to crack all Armenian websites 'if necessary', Trend Azeri news agency quoted Turkish Dunyabulteni.

      "Those who spread discrimination in the country will never succeed," they said.

      Some 15 thousand people have already signed the online public apology for the Armenian Genocide, which says, "My conscience does not accept the insensitivity showed to and the denial of the Great Catastrophe that befell the Ottoman Armenians in 1915. I reject this injustice and for my share, I empathize with the feelings and pain of my Armenian brothers. I apologize to them."
