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.

  • Sellout much?

    World-famous chess master Garry Kasparov described offering chess classes as an elective course in Turkish public school as an admirable development.

    Noting that he has been striving for the past 15 years to spread the idea of making chess a part of the curriculum all over the world, Kasparov said: “I applaud Turkey for having made chess a part of the curriculum in public schools. This is a first in terms of being this widespread and I hope it is taken as a model by other countries.”

    Kasparov, who came to Turkey for the presentation of a book entitled “My Masters” prepared by a bank, held a press conference with Ali Nihat Yazici, the president of Turkey Chess Federation.

    Heaping praises on the steps taken for chess, Kasparov said he had long been trying to get chess to be a part of education in schools: “People don’t seem to understand this, whereas chess doesn’t entail costly infrastructure works like football and tennis do.”

    Kasporov is an idiot. From what I know he was never that proud of being an Armenian, and it takes the will of the world to make him even acknowledge his Armenian roots.

    Let him fester into nothingness.

      He is not an Armenian, he is a Juden -- lets me sure this is how we refer to him.

          I heard somewhere that Kasparov advocates war with every single Arab country. That should explain his priorities, if it is in fact true. However, I also heard long ago that he donated the chess championship ring he won to Armenia, a more specifically to Arcakh. I tried looking for it online but haven't found any reference to it, so it could be BS, but I do distinctly remember something about it.

            C'mon this guy spends his time trying to outsmart supercomputers for fun ... I'm sure the supercomputer tires of having to deal with his inane challenges.

            It's like making a mute HAL play Connect Four ... if Deep Blue could speak it would be asked to be turned off!
