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.

  • Masons

    The Masons organization is a super powerful entity worth discussing. I think it would be good to shed some light on it and talk about all things including whaterver is good or bad about it..I found this post in the news today.

    Rich Armenians wanted to become masons but were not accepted - Ruben Gevorgyants

    Փնտրում ե՞ք խաղադրույքների հրաշալի կայքեր։ Շատ լավ, բարեբախտաբար Դուք հայտնվել եք ճիշտ տեղում։ Երբ խոսքը գնում է խաղադրույքների լավագույն կայքերի մասին, մենք դրա գիտակն ենք։

    10:37 / 26.07.2013

    Chairman of the Union of Cinematographers, film director Ruben
    Gevorgyants is one of the unique peoples who voices that he is a mason
    and is even proud of it.

    - Mr Gevorgyants, you are the participant-documentary of the Karabakh
    war. How can a nationalist be a mason?

    - You do not know what masonry movement is. A mason must be a nationalist.

    - It is an establishment created by xxxs.

    - Masons had nothing to do with xxxs. Now xxxs, Arabs, peoples of many
    other nationalities are among them.

    - A lot is being kept secret about masons. What ideology do you have?
    Which is your mission?

    - There are two important things - first you should be a believer and
    act in a way to do good to your own country. You should not
    necessarily be a nationalist. Our establishment has party members as
    well. This establishment is first of all a harmony, there must not be
    extremist moods. I am a nationalist but I am not an extremist. Masonry
    is brotherhood. Is there more important thing than the brotherhood?
    The bad opinion about the movement has been formed by Russia security
    bodies.

    - How can strange and sometimes enemy nationalities be brothers? For
    instance we know about existence of powerful Turkish masonry lodge.

    - Strangers may too be brothers. Yes, there is a masonry lodge in
    Turkey and we force them to recognize the Armenian Genocide. By the
    way mason Turks recognize it. The time will come when they will force
    their country to acknowledge it.

    - What does masonry give to our country?

    - A lot. If more Armenians had become masons for instance 70 years ago
    many things could have been prevented. We have done a lot in Armenia.
    For instance we brought huge buses from France. There are schools
    funded by us, we pay the tuition fee of a number of students. Many
    think that it is a party or if they become masons it will be their
    entrance visa to the USA. But it is first of all a spiritual value.

    - How a person may become mason?

    - If a person wants to become member of our establishment he/she
    passes an exam. We check his/her incomes for two years, the relations
    between him/her and others. Many rich Armenians wanted to become
    members of our establishment but none of them was accepted as clean
    people must become masons.

    - If it is such a good establishment, why do many people hate it or
    are afraid of it? Why do masons hide that they are members of lodge?

    - Many are afraid as they do not know, do not understand. My wife is
    afraid too. We are a powerful establishment. The hostility against it
    was formed in 20th century by tyrants. The latter are afraid of
    masons. In the USA all have temples. There will be one in Armenia as
    well. Now we do not have necessary funds and are not going to ask from
    the general establishment. Leaders of countries head the
    establishment. 70% of presidents of different countries are masons.

    - When and how have you decided to become a mason?

    - Thirty years ago I was studying masonry as there was a great
    anti-mason literature in the Soviet Union. There was a fight against
    them. In tyrant countries there cannot be masonry. Though I am against
    democracy, I am for dictatorship - dictatorship of law.
