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.

    Zidane's Incident At The World Cup

    Since both players refused to comment on the incident, there are various allegations about what led to Zidane's violent outburst. His agent, Alain Migliaccio has claimed that a "very serious" comment by Materazzi provoked the attack. Reportedly, the deaf forensic lip-reader Jessica Rees was employed to analyze the video sequences with the help of an Italian translator. According to these reports, Materazzi spoke in Italian - a language understood by Zidane due to his time spent with Juventus F.C. - and first told him: "Hold on, wait, that one's not for a nigger like you." As the players walked forward, Materazzi allegedly said: "We all know you are the son of a terrorist whore." Then, just before the headbutt, he was seen saying: "So just fuck off." According to Brazilian TV Rede Globo, a lip-reader claimed that Materazzi twice called Zidane's sister a prostitute. Earlier claims about Materazzi having called his opponent a "dirty terrorist" have been denied by Materazzi, who reportedly said: "It is absolutely not true, I did not call him a terrorist. I'm ignorant. I don't even know what the word means."

    This isn't a 100% sure, and they believe the full truth will be revealed later this week, but I'm sure it was something along these lines. Materazzi is a bitch for saying what he did, but Zidane shouldn't have what he did. If it was a normal game, I would've done the same, maybe more. But a lot was depending on this game, and it was his last, so no matter what, he shouldn't have done anything. Materazzi ran his mouth thinking nothing could happen, but something did happen. How could you agree with someone who calls himself ignorant? France deserved the win. Materazzi deserved the hit. Zidane is still a legend. End of story.

      He should have connected with his jaw, not his chest, that dirty rat of player Materazzi deserved a shattered jaw. Search Zidane and Materazzi in youtube and watch the videos, one is simply one of the greatest, most graceful players to have walked the field and the other is one of the dirtiest.

      That is all.

            Hey, hey. He said it!

            Zidane is a family friend of mine. I wonder what he'll have to say when I go to France in 2 weeks.

              here's an animated pic representing Zidane's action:


              in my opinion bcoz of this act, Zidane did not deserve to be announced the best player in the World Cup ... FIFA is making meetings to decide about taking the award from Zidane... donno if they reached an agreement...

                How Do You Feel About Zizou?

                Hello, I'm new to this forum.

                I just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on the Zizou incident. Do you think people will only remember him for the famous head-butt? I hope not. Even though what he did was wrong, I still feel so bad that he had to end his career like this. It's so sad.

                  He made the choice ... I don't feel bad for him at all. I think they should take his world cup earnings (from the final) and the golden ball away from him. Other than that, if he comes back to play, he should be suspended for a while both from international and club level play.

                  Will he be remembered only for this headbutt? I guess only by those who only know him from his head butt. To the rest of us who know soccer, he'll be remembered for the player that he was. Of course each person will remember him differently.
                  this post = teh win.

                    I think a lot of people who don't really follow Soccer, or know anything about great players such as Zidane, will, sadly, remember him only for this. You know how some people only watch Football for the Superbowl? Well, a lot of people were watching this World Cup without knowing much about Soccer. Those type of people will only remember Zidane as the guy who head-butted Materazzi, and got a red card. However, I don't think he'll go down as a man like that. He's a legend, and will always be remembered as one of the greatest men who played this sport.
