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.

    Metal Rules The Universe!

    Not much was original about them, their music is also soft, poppy metal but for once they changed that boring atmosphere of Eurovision and proved that there are millions of metalheads around who are ignored by that goddamn formatted "music" TV channels.

    There's rarely a great song in Eurovision and they all sound artificial to me. It may be because they were written with the objective of winning a contest.

    The only great Eurovision song I remember was the Israeli Abanibi in 1978. The ABBA song was also good although not the best ABBA song ever. Chingis Khan was also good.
    Almost all the others are sleep inducing, bubblegum rubbish.
    Four things denialist Turks do when they are confronted with facts:

    II. They project [SIZE="1"](e.g. they replace "Turk" with "Armenian" and vice versa and they regurgitate Armenian history).[/SIZE]
    III. They offend [SIZE="1"](e.g. they cuss, threaten and/or mock).[/SIZE]
    IV. They shut up and say nothing.

      I was too busy this weekend couldnt watch the "wonderful" Eurovision contest

      I was just checking out TUrkish newspapers and came accross this comment by Sibel Tuzun. I am really ashamed, but this comment shows how stupid contest the Eurovision is!

      She basically says "We are all disappointed. This year we would like to show people a beautiful woman and a beautiful show. Obviously this year was the year of men and ugly creatures".

      I read it twice and see what I've read was true or not. Oh my, was she thinking she's attending a beauty contest or something? Somehow she has the idea of being the most beautiful woman in the world? Where is art? Where is music? Oh I forgot! this is Eurovision!


      Lordi'nin yarışmanın galibi olması hakkında, ''hepimiz şok olduk, hayal kırıklığına uğradık'' diyen Tüzün, ''Biz bu yıl güzel kadın ile güzel bir şov ortaya koymak istedik. Demek ki bu yıl erkek ve çirkin yaratıkların yılıymış. Bana göre Lordi, şovunu video oyunlarından esinlenerek hazırladı ve oylarını yine bilgisayarla cep telefonlarına çok hakim olan 13-22 yaş grubundan topladı'' diye konuştu.

        I think Sibel Tüzün was not so bad.But if song's words had been English,it would have been better.
        We(Turkey)gave 10 points to Armenia.

          The votes were decided by televoting. It was people who voted.
          It is possible that many Kurds or secret Armenians have also voted along with Turks.

          If there was no vote for Turkey from Armenia, it's mainly because the people in Armenia (I'm not saying all Armenians of the world) are not that much into the style of that Turkish song, not that they didn't want to vote for Turkey.

              Azerbaijanis Upset by the Elder Brother

              AZG Armenian Daily #094, 24/05/2006



              Armenia’s debut at the Eurovision song contest is still being lively discussed by young people and musicians. It also turned into a target of interesting comments on the part of Turkish and Azerbaijani media. "The 10 points that Turkey gave to Armenian singer threw me into a fit of laughter. The presenters who were distinctively favoring Turkey were at a loss when our ‘brothers’, as they are called in masses, gave Armenians 10 points. Turks merely confused us by this decision especially in the view of recent opposition to ‘genocide’ allegations. The presenters did not even try to find a justification for ‘our elder brother’s’ deed. They sadly kept silent," this was the "hopeless" conclusion of a day.az correspondent on May 22. "We were silently listening to our tunes in Andre’s song, to the music of our tar." In another publication Azerbaijanis try to be more frank: "The Armenians again presented themselves as a nation with high culture. Many TV viewers in our country hoped deep in their hearts that Armenia’s representative Andre will give a bad performance but he performed greatly taking a very high place for a debutant and leaving behind Turkey, France, the Great Britain and other states."

              The Armenian delegation returned to Yerevan in the morning of May 22 and was warmly welcomed at the airport. Contrary to his first performance at the semi-final, Andre performed brilliantly in the final. "He was first to perform at the semi-final and was not accustomed to the atmosphere. But his second performance was great," TV viewer Anahit Kamalian told daily Azg. "We were at a café watching the live contest on the screen. You should only see how every customer cheered when Andre was receiving the points."

              Singer Shushan Petrosian is glad and proud of Andre’s victory. "Andre’s song was among the best in this mess of horrible music tastes. I had never watched the Eurovision but this time there was Andre. It was a heavy responsibility for Andre but he reached the goal with honor," she said. Mrs. Petrosian thinks that the Eurovision has to do not with the culture but with the politics, and to prove the contrary the organizers chose a relatively neutral country as winner.

              For bard Vahan Artsruni also the Eurovision is a low-rated contest as the performance is judged not by a jury but by the spectators. Secondly, this was pop music contest where "the highest standard is not the music but interesting presentation of a song. From this angle, Andre’s performance was not much different from the rest." Artsruni is sure that participation in contests is the only way to present your music to the world, "but there are more serious contests and victories in classical music that are not covered as the Eurovision."

              When months ago the song was introduced to the Armenian public opinions ranged from super positive response to dissatisfaction with Turkish tunes. In his assessment of Andre’s performance composer Vladilen Balian notes that we have great musical potential "but the doors seem to be slow to open to us." Singer Ofelia Hambardzumian, on her part, said the song was rather difficult to perform but Andre did very well.
