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.

  • The Artists of HyeClub Series: Poetry

    To round out this series, here's a spot for our HyeClub poets to show off their stuff. Again, the work must be done BY the member. Please do not copy/paste someone elses poetry. And please, let's keep it to serious poems, and not the trash that trendy, Starbuck's drinking psuedo-hippies try to pass off as poetry just because it rhymes and sounds "deep". In other words, make sure it's something that has some actual deep meaning to you. To start us off, here are a couple that I wrote a long time ago.



    Collective Divide

    Fractions appear before me
    Taking neither shape nor form recognizable
    Spreading as infinitely outward as the universe
    In unimaginable colors and vivacity
    Taking on an aura, a vibrant glow
    Momentarily stunned and paralyzed,
    I feel them beckoning me.
    What have I found? Why am I here?
    The more I focus, the more fractions appear.
    Then, as mysterious as this Divide is,
    my mind is suddenly clear.
    All doubts disappear,
    I know now why I’m here
    Eyes sealed like a new born, I extend my form.
    In slow moving time, I let myself go,
    Falling from the last bit of solidity under me,
    Leaving everything I thought I knew behind.
    Diving deep into the fraction just before me,
    My whole being immersed in it,
    embedded in its thick entity
    I swim freely, soaking up all of its brilliance.
    And find myself gently floating to the top
    I arise out of the fraction, now taking on its metallic hue
    I listen to the change in my pulse, my color, my being.
    My appetite has formed. My being hungers for more
    And so into the fractions I descend, again and again
    my being resonating, my thirst never quenched.
    My form steadily changing hue with each,
    the hue becoming incandescent radiance
    I crave more, I yearn to explore
    Knowing the endless fractions before me
    will never be conquered in their entirety,
    Yet yearning to take them on just the same
    My mild passion now a luminous flame
    I will play the never ending game
    For I know, there is no going back
    I will never be the same



    *Untitled*

    You tried.
    You tried with all your strength and might.
    You tried while wearing an insidious smile
    and conveying a blatant disregard for that which makes us human.
    And lurking behind your ominous eyes, in the obscurity of your mind,
    was an illness taking the form of eroded amicability.
    Your vision cloaked in the disillusion that you would succeed.
    You feared no form of power, neither man nor god.
    You tried by force, you tried by philosophy.
    You tried relentlessly.
    You tried

    You failed!

    For I stand here today, many decades into the aftermath,
    bearing a name you thought would no longer be used,
    waving a flag who's colors you thought would fade away,
    speaking the tongue of the ancestors you thought you had eliminated.

    You failed.

    For I know the truth, and so shall the entire world.
    For I keep the heritage alive, as did those before me.
    We succeeded.
    We survived.
    You failed.

    No matter how many years it takes,
    no matter how long the duel may be,
    we will endure, and the truth will be told.
    The world will know that which you would like to bury
    in the shadows of a past as dark as the atrocities you committed.
    But just as before,
    we sill succeed,
    you will fail!
