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.

          I cringed over this one. Ardenik jan, what possessed you to imagine something as grotesque as this? You have to stop munching on rubies.

          Simply brilliant! You have a touch of that magic realism that I love, and apparently you are quiet good. Very articulate, creative and surreal flow!

          BTW: I do hope you will start glancing into the Intellectual Lounge forum.

            for you, darling, i will

            i actually wrote this just after i turned 16. i hadnt tried any drugs then & had no first hand experience as to what they do to u... i just let my imagination do it for me.

            whatever i am about to post, i had written between the ages of 14 & 16. i used to write songs & poems back then.... i havent written anything since, in terms of lyrics or poems or whatnot... just a lot of music. so whatever u see me post in this thread was written in those days. some of it isnt great, but heck, what the hell does a 15 year old kid know about writing poetry? loll

              Dying Cries

              Lyric: Arden Arapyan
              Music: Barouyr Labajian & Arden Arapyan


              Dying Cries was written in March of 1997 with the intention of paying tribute to the 1.5 million Armenians who were tortured, raped, massacred, mutilated and ultimately killed in the hands of the Turkish Ottoman Empire during the Armenian Genocide of 1915. It is not so much an expression of rage against any present group of people, but rather a reminder of the unimaginable hardships that our ancestors have endured. We believe that Armenia is willing to forgive if Turkey ceases to forget…

              There once was a lonely soldier
              And he asked me if I knew
              The places he had been
              And the terror he had seen.
              He said: “Come listen to my story:

              “It was a long, long time ago,
              The year was 1915.
              I do remember, though,
              I just wish I had seen the evil in his eyes.
              I saw happiness and paradise,
              But all he had for me were Dying Cries...

              “The whole world was at war.
              He said: ‘What are we fighting for?
              My friend, can’t you see?
              We’re like brothers you and me!
              So, why don’t you walk with me?’

              “He seemed so truthful then,
              As if he really meant well.
              So, I gave him all my men.
              I can’t believe I couldn’t tell the evil in his eyes.
              I saw happiness and paradise,
              But all he led me to were Dying Cries...

              “And now, I see it in his lying eyes.
              He says: ‘You and your people will die!’
              _________________

              “Ever since, he’s denied his acts.
              He doesn’t want the world to see.
              But I, for one, have faced the facts,
              What he did to me.
              Only I know he’s full of lies.
              He’s got open eyes and alibis,
              But all he’s got for me are Dying Cries...

              “He laughed in my face when I showed him my Dying Cries...”

                    If I wasn’t
                    One day I will be
                    I cough up regret
                    The voice won’t let me forget
                    What I never will be

                      It's 5 am, I'm still awake.
                      I want to sleep, for goodness' sake!
                      But these lines are spinning through my head
                      While I'm laying here in bed.

                      My sight grows dim, it's getting late.
                      Unless she comes, forever I'll wait.
                      A heavenly noise, in the depths of my dreams,
                      My Angel says it's you...

                      I remember how I loved you,
                      But you're so far away.
                      And if I try to fly with my wings of lead,
                      I know what my Angel will say.

                      The guiding light, it blinds my eyes.
                      Genesis & fate, I scrutinize.
                      Clarity with truth, there will never be, it seems,
                      Since my Angel, I thought was you...
