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.

Predictions for 2005

    Here are mine:

    1) The US dollar finally ends its slide against other currencies, although its slide will continue for some time in early 2005.
    2) Tony Blair gets re-elected, despite the opposition of the British public to the war in Iraq, if elections are called in 2005 (he has until 2006 to call for new elections).
    3) The Canadian minority government falls.
    4) A Tsunami alert system is enacted in the Indian ocean, similar to the one in the Pacific ocean.
    5) The Iraqi elections of January 30th fail to bring stability to Iraq.
    6) The Israelis complete their pullout of Gaza.
    7) The Democratic party, in an attempt to appeal to "Middle America" moves a little more to the center on some social issues.
    8) President Bush makes 1 or 2 nominations to the Supreme Court (Justices Renquist and/or Stevens are probably the two to leave the court, but I am not sure)
    9) The Red Sox do not repeat as World Series Champions (I sincerely hope this prediction fails).
    10) Ferrari continues to dominate F1.
    11) Michael Schumacher beats Ayrton Senna's record for the number of pole positions (Schumacher is at 63, the record stands at 65)
    12) The US Congress fails to pass a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide, but the 90th anniversary of the Genocide will bring much media coverage around the world, putting Turkey on the defensive.
    13) Russia becomes more assertive (if not aggressive) following the removal of Ukraine and Georgia from its "sphere of influence".
    14) Kurds in Iraq demand independence.
    15) Armenian economy continues to grow, but poverty will remain the greatest problem, although the population migration balance will slightly improve.
    16) Turkey makes some concessions on Cyprus in an attempt to improve its standing ahead of EU membership talks, but potential referendums on the issue in France and Austria will create some roadblocks.

    I doubt 100%, or even 75%, of everything will come true, but if half of them come true, I will still have a better average than most astrologers.

        What will they be voting on? To stay independant or join Armenia?
        Well there was a referrendum back circa 1989- not sure what exact year, on NK's status. I know remaining with Azerbaijan was on the ballot, which got less than a percent of the vote. So I am confident that the Armenians of NK won't surprise us and nothing short of mass hypnosis would do the trick of getting them to vote themselves back to Azerbaijan. The winner in that referrendum was independence with joining with Armenia in second place.
        So I think to humor the world at large joining back with Azerbaijan would be on the future referrendum, but it'll get practically no votes. Whether they will be able to vote to join back with Armenia, and if they would do so, I have no clue, but frankly I don't think NK as its own independent state makes much sense. I think it should become part of Armenia as part of the peace deal. Of course having two Armenian nations would have some advantages, like two votes at the UN (like that matters though haha). But two Armenian countries really doesn't make too much sense to me.
