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.

  • Greetings from Rhode Island

    Look forward to getting to know everyone! I'm a US born Turk who enjoys getting to know others with dual citizenship/culture/tradition. I ask people to reserve judgment until after getting to know me at least a little. I won't hide the fact that the "G" word is not in my vocabulary, and I don't necessarily want to debate it either. If provoked I will, but it's a fruitless endeavor for both sides, so unless you glean some sick thrill from giving and receiving disparaging put-downs with strangers, let's not go there. If that's your thing, bring it on, but I came here mostly to try and educate myself about Armenian culture and the history of Armenia within it's own borders. Meeting some kind and intelligent people would be a bonus. All the best.

      Did you know that Rhode Island would not ratify the Constitution and so they had to blockade it and to force it to comply?

      So much for "democracy".

        Hello TomServo and Anonymouse. Thanks for welcoming me. Yes Rhode Island is certainly an oddity of a state. We've been here since 1999. For such a small state, quite a few movies were filmed here such as Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary, Me Myself and Irene, etc. Anonymouse, you like logic games? I am more into visual math types of puzzles. Here's one off the top of my head:

        A farmer plants ten trees arranged in five rows of four trees each. How is this possible?

        This is one I was able to solve very swiftly which is why I remember it. I'm a proud card carrying member of the "stupid Spanish girl club". Get it? If you do please don't give it away. Cheers.

          Welcome to the forum, AmerikanTurk.
          Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable.

            "Hello wow you are so cool welcome to the forum OMG OMG I'm so excited to know you. The answer to your question is a pentagram. Now here's a question for you: Suppose you could get a raise of $2000 every year on your yearly salary or $500 every six months on a six-monthly salary. Which one would you take?"

                  perhaps egging us on is not the best way to seek a welcome into this forum.

                  meeting intelligent and kind people eh? you might, but from your inability to even utter the word that perfectly describes your ancestors' doings, I doubt we will (if ya know what I mean).

                  btw you're the first to bring up the topic of GENOCIDE (see it's not that hard to do).

                    Of course it's not hard for you to do, and I don't fault you for it. Your brain is poisoned from birth to believe that all Turks young and old, dead and living, in the US and Turkey, civilian and military, tall and short, male and female, Christian and Muslim, blond and brunette, are responsible for the death and famine and mayhem that occurred 90 years ago. See most Turks living today realize they are hated, and they resent that they are fingered for crimes they did not commit. It doesn't feel good to be so hated, to be considered an enemy. Why should any Turk tell you anything that you want to hear, be it true or false, until you reach out and make a genuine effort to stop hating and de-humanising an entire population of innocent people? Personally I don't believe that admission of guilt will achieve anything. More likely it will add fuel to the desire of Turkey's neighbors to wipe Turks off the map. No disrespect intended to you or any other Armenian. These are just the views of a Turk born and raised and living in the US.
