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.

    Russians haven't confirmed entering Gori -- we do know that Georgians abandoned this position.

      1. The US position if hypocritical especially after Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, etc.
      2. Saakashvilli was a fool for initiating the war
      3. It is not in the US interest to confront Russia.


      Only the hardcore Republicans and Neocons are defending Georgia.
      Yep, I saw the same of BBC's "Have your say" and ABC's responses to todays article on the conflict.

        Encouraging. After this whole farce of the war in Iraq, many Americans are finally waking up.

          Georgia Reduces Russian Gas Shipments To Armenia - Co

          YEREVAN, Armenia (AFP)--Georgia has abruptly reduced the volume of Russian natural gas shipped to neighboring Armenia via Georgian territory, a spokesman for the Armenian state gas monopoly told AFP on Monday.

          "There has been a reduction of gas delivered to Armenia from Russia via Georgia," ArmRosgazprom spokeswoman Shusha Sardarian said. Media reports said a 30% supply reduction occurred with no advance warning.

          That is one of the unfortunate by-products of the war. It will normalize soon and things will get even better for Armenia when a new Georgian administration comes to power and Georgia stops messing around with Armenia.

            Or even better, Armenia shares a border with Russia.
            For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
            to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

              I'm happy to see that Turks are leaving, but sad to see that Armenian citizens of Georgia might be forced to go to war on its behalf.
              It is reminiscent of the Azeris throwing their minorities on the front line in their doomed war.

              Javakhk Relatively Calm after Georgian Attack on Ossetia

              AKHALKALAK (A-Info)--As military activities in Georgia escalated following Thursday's attack by the Georgian armed forces on South Ossetia, there is relative calm in the mainly Armenian-populated region of Samtskhe-Javakheti in southern Georgia bordering Armenia.

              The Georgian government has ordered all draft-age individuals to not leave the country.

              According to unofficial sources, 12 Armenian officers from Akhalkalak and Ninidzminda have left for the military zones,
              while the entire police departments of Aspindza and Akhaltskha have moved to Tbilisi.

              Turkish construction experts and contractors working on the Kars-Akhalkalak-Baku railway have fled the country in a panic and have returned to Turkey.

              The Tsalka portion of the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline is being protected by special military forces.

                Whey would those 12 report???? I hope the Armenian youth resist call-up. They should be planning an attack on the unit guarding the pipeline in Tsalka

                  Situations like this one is why it's almost impossible to be an Armenian in the Diaspora. Which side should the Armenians choose, to defend the land of their birth or to help their ancestral nation and help Russia?

                    Well maybe they are like freaky and don't care about Armenians, but it also could be they were forced.
