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.
