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.

    Armenian Club Forum Causes Members To Go To "War"

    We Want You, Says Armenian Club Admins

    Thursday, February 23, 2006; Posted: 3:30 p.m. EST (17:30 GMT)

    Armenian Club Forum, The Internet (AP)

    It doesn't take a genius to realize the internet is no longer a tool used for research. Instead, in a popular Armenian forum, it's a war between members.

    Sources say the apparent war appears to be centered at Armenian Club's main website. Armenian Club started off as a website for Armenians around the world to connect and stay active with each other. Now, however, it's become much more than that.

    Popular members such as Anonymouse, and admin's Siggie and nimda are under question as we speak for more information about this "war". The war we speak of is much different than any man knows. It's a war between members; a war between friends. Apparently, members have been banned continuously, which set a war between the Armenians and Turks. "Armenian Club is racist. They won't allow anyone to speak in any other language other than Armenian. They ban people daily. If you're a Turkish man, and you sign up. You're immediately banned." says one Turkish man who currently lives in Fresno, CA.

    Recently a member of Armenian Club Forums was banned for "no apparent reason." He notified authorities about the incident and wanted answers. That's when authorities decided to take action. After hearing about the infamous "banning" spree, this was their last straw. To add fuel to the fire, selected members have found out the Armenian Club Forums keep a secret forum, which is only seen by few. Now, Armenian members are angry, trying to figure out why they can't see these forums. Armenian Club moderators quickly tried to cover everything up by swiftly deleting threads and hiding their forums until the tension setlled to avoid further unrest.

    Due to this, Armenian Club Forums is now under inspection by many. Notably, a new Message Board has been created by the Turkish visitors and one can only wonder about the on goings at this rival message board. Rumors are rampant about possible further attacks on the infrastructure of the message board.

                My name is Karo, our correspondent Crissy is live at the scene with One-Way. Take it away Crissy!

                *Crissy adjusts earpiece. Responds after minute long silence*

                Crissy: Yes, thank you, Karo. I'm here live with One-Way. One, what can you tell us about this "war"?

                One-Way: I don't know. All I know is I'm upstairs, trying to masturb- I mean, I'm trying to sleep. And the next thing I know is a bunch of gernades go off. So I grab my phone and try to get out of my house. And all of a sudden..

                Crissy: *Interrupts* I'm sorry, what are you talking about?

                One-Way: I don't know, what are you talking about?

                *Awkward silence*

                One-Way: *Winks* So where you from, baby?

                Crissy: *Feels insulted* Uh, back to you, Karo!

                One-Way: *Whispers to Crissy* What's up though, baby?

                  Karo: We're now going to go live in Montebello. Sources say Anonymouse tried to run away, he's now trapped. Crissy?

                  Crissy: *Running while camera chases her* Yes, Karo. It appears as if Anonymouse came through this alley, came against a brick ball which seems to stand at 150 feet tall. Sources tell us Anonymouse walked straight through the wall!

                  Karo: Is that possible, Crissy?

                  Crissy: *Confused* No. But apparently, he's the God of the forums. I don't see a reason why he wouldn't be God in general.

                  Karo: Good observation. Anyone else from the forums down there?

                  Crissy: I don't see anybody familiar. *Camera pans to the right* Oh my God! It's TomServo!

                  *Camera crew runs toward Tom*

                  Crissy: Tom! Where do you stand in this issue?

                  Tom: *Silence* Poop.

                  Crissy: There you have it, Karo! Back to you in Glendale!
