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.

    Drafting Question

    I recently told my dad I was worried at the possibility of there being a draft and he tld me I probably don't have to worry about going if there is one. I asked him why, and he just laughed and said "You're the son of an Iranian citizen.. you think they're going to send you into the middle east to fight for U.S. when your father is a citizen of a county on the "terrorist harboring" list?". I guess he sorta has a point. The draft has always been by lottery, but if they pull my name and see my dad's from Iran, will they just put my name back in and pull someone elses? Anyone know if it works that way?

    They will probably come and take you by night, and no one will ever hear from you again.

          Not to sound ignorant, but what exactly is a 'backdoor' draft and how does that exclude me?

            military service men and women who are currently service are having their tour of duty extended and being transferred beyond their initial commitment term.

            i.e. you sign up for a 6 year committment, your 6 years expire while you're serving overseas on active duty. They extend your duty, and sometimes will transfer you in order to keep more military personal activly listed and ready to rumble.
            they also transfer national guard soldiers to serve with the other branches of the military.

            it's sneaky, it's somewhat confusing, it's wrong...lets not mention if they have families living on base and their funds and benefits are being cut....its sad

              If you think Kerry won't bring back the draft, then you shouldn't be bothered with.

                The question is not will there or won't there be a draft. The question is are they weary of drafting people who's parents are from the middle east. I'm assuming they wouldn't draft people who's parents were from russia during the coldwar.

                  Why are you asking here? I don't think any of us are qualified to answer that question. I would think they would draft anybody they wanted. Doesn't matter what background you have. It would be funny if you called an Army recruiter and asked them "My dad is Iranian, will I still be drafted?"

                    I would think that they would be more likely to draft someone from that region just because they would assume you can speak the language and become a translator for them....you just might be Numero Uno on their list..hehehe...j/k...I doubt you speak the lang
