Actually i was interested since if its not a Polish run site there might be a law based issue regarding its name.

First of all this is not a pub but a forum thats supposed to be representative of Poland and Polish people so if its run by for example Brits or Americans the thing just aint right.

Where does it say that?.

Why not?

I think you are just bored.

niejestemcapita:

I don't think it is strange at all.
If everyone is SO concerned about it being in English, why then don't you form your own forum?

There is no special "rule book" saying you have to be Polish to discuss Poland.

Ridiculous. The word Polish is not copyrighted nor owned by anyone.

Why not have both Polish and English? I've wondered about that.

Sokrates, why don't you just read the freely available information that is on this site?
It is on the 'home page' 'about us' or would you prefer just to get attention?.

If you know a lot of Americans whose first names are "Tomasz" or "Bartłomiej" then you must be right :}.

I am pretty sure this is site is run by an American. There's probably other sites that aren't.

Why not?

Polish FORUM? Is there anything Polish about it?
SeanBM:

So basically we have foreigners creating a "Polish forum" ? Interesting, wouldnt a different title suit the name?
SeanBM:

No i'm not we've had a look at these boards, the amount of anti-polish comments is astounding, so is the liberal approach to them by the site owners, if the forum is not run by Poles the title can be misleading since its not a "Polish forum" at all.

Yes, of course.

No.

No
although i have wondered why it is in plural form.

It's registered in the US so why can't an American who is Polish have their own opinion?
