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.

    By the way for the last several days the number has sharply increased about 4 times compared with the past period.

    How do you do the math.???


    This sounds and feels like the Armenian elections.

    Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
    Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
    Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

      OMG, I can't think of an explanation therefore corruption!





      We don't do special math other than what's employed by vbulletin.

      If you pay attention to his own language, you'll see the key... He's comparing the sum of the viewers in sections to total users and is confused that they're not the same.

      Not all users are looking at a thread in a forum section. Some are registering, some are using the search, some are looking at other users' profiles, some are private messaging, some are staring at the forum index, some are editing their profiles/preferences etc. etc. None of those cases would be counted among the viewers in sections.
      It's like comparing the total number of people in a shopping mall with the sum of all the persons in stores. These are not the same thing.

      I hope that helps clear up the confusion.

        Why is the forum so inactive nowadays?

        I remember back in 2005 and 2006, there were many more active members, and yes, a lot of them were Turkish. I know a lot of those Turks were banned, but some also left because of the way they were received here. I regret the way I treated them back then. Reading through some older threads, some of us really alienated them.

        But I don't understand why we don't get that many new members anymore? Could it be because of the name change? "Armenian Club" was much easier to find through Google than "HyeClub." Maybe it's because of the popularity of social media websites? But then I've come across a forum for Afghans (certainly a smaller diaspora community) and it's more active than our forum was even at its peak.

            As far as improving this forum there is no hope...it should be closed down if you ask me. I only stick around here because its an Armenian forum and because of the NKR thread.

            The best thing that can happen is for ZORAVAR, burjuin, Federate, and others here to open an Armenian Defence Forum (ADF)....everyone else's country has one expect us.

              That is true. It doesn't encourage careful posts when, if you take any time to read a thread, and then want to write something in reply, you risk being logged out by the time you come to post. It could probably be easily fixed - there might be a setting somewhere to extend the time before members are logged out. (And, yes, I got the usual "You do not have permission to perform this action. Please refresh the page and login before trying again" message when I went to post this!)

              And the way the "new posts" function performs is annoying - click on it before you do anything and you get a list of anything new since your last visit, but make a single post and that list of posts made since your last login are lost - all you see listed is the post you just made. And log out and then in again and you see nothing.

                That logging out never happens to me unless I don't check the "remember me" button. It's probably the Cooke expiring I guess?

                      There's always Hye4um.

                      Both that forum and this one are like abandoned amusement parks nowadays... pretty depressing. I wonder if the name switch from ArmenianClub to HyeClub was one of the reasons for the decline in new members? Or the rise of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter?
