Crow: among else, i relax here. Crow, One of the reasons I come to this forum, is to see what fellow Slavs like yourself have to say about things. ;)

Cardno85:

So how did you all find Polish Forums?

I've met a girl from Racibórz back in 2004 and we got along pretty well, so at some point I wanted to learn Polish. I didn't know this place existed, but unfortunately, Polish Forums was the first thing that crossed my mind when I used Google.

SeanBM:

And it's the witty comments, passionate fighting and wackos that keeps us here.

So who's the alpha-wacko here I wonder? (Would that be a reverend with Tourette's Syndrome and a drinking problem?)

I think I searched Google for some forum or website about Poland and it appeared in the results. I registered in 2007 to ask a question about electrical sockets and voltage in Poland because I wanted to take my hairdryer with me on holiday (first trip to Poland). I'm amazed to see that the thread is still active in 2011. ;-) OR maybe my first message was a question about Polish vocabulary or grammar. Can't remember exactly though...

Miłego dnia.

I got a job offer from Poland and found PF in google while searching information about the country. I am living in Poland now almost for 2 years. I can say if you search for general information about the country, PF is not the right place, It creates very negative image which is not realistic. On the other hand it is good if you try to find specific information or has nothing else to do.

Came by looking for a guitar player/DJ for a new jazz/electro band in Poznań in July 2010 - having tried a bunch of other forums to no avail. Wasn't exactly knocked out by the response here either.

Even now, the only guy in all Western Poland who gets the style and has the jaja to take the p1ss out of it instinctively is Greek - but the other guys are slowly getting the vibe 3 months of sporadic rehearsal later.

Anyway, never mind that, stayed because even the more shrill and frankly autistic tenor of many exchanges (in English - the Polish side is a more cultured affair by a country mile) doesn't always disguise the fact that there are good insights to be had from people here.

Kept staying because ... well, I think I said it on the Who do you Like? thread a month or so back. You know who you are.

I found it when I was doing research on my Polish ancestry because I'm from the U.S. Back then there were a lot of people on the forum who were actually from Poland but I think most of them have left.

I came across PF many times when I was looking for various information, but always ignored it for some reason. Maybe I thought I knew the Poles' opinions already from other sources, so wasn't interested in a Polish forum.
Then one time I felt very homesick and decided to check what's going on on PF. ...and discovered it's not so Polish :)

As a Pole in the UK I've found it fascinating to read expats' impressions on Poland - all, the good and the bad ones. Many of the things they say I've never noticed before or viewed them in a completely different way, because I grew up with them.

..and PF makes me laugh :) I even appreciate the presence of haters on here. Without them it wouldn't be so funny and all the fine people wouldn't have the chance to show how fine they really are

I wanted to learn few Polish words on my own. I googled for them and I was directed to it. I had been on a reading mode for quite a while. Later I joined to deliver some of my opinions in the meaningful conversations that people hold here about Poland, and also about other things. Without taking names(for now), also it is because of some faggots striding on the forums writing really **** and not even remotely trying to understand others opinion. I am quite a busy person but nevertheless I can take out a little time interacting with people around here. Nice forum. Keep it up!

I wanted to find some specific Historic info, google directed me to the website , kept ignoring it for a bit until I finally joined, and the rest as they say is history(: The humour and the insightful opinions attract me, and I get the chance to practice my jousting.

I came here to find a Polish bride but then remembered I already had one. Bubbawoo called me a twat and I realised that this was my sort of place and sort of hung around.

convex: Put me in the "others" category Seriously? Haha! I'm trying to imagine which Polish porn movie could be disturbing enough to actually direct you to this place. (Or maybe we just don't realize how sexy our intelligence really is?) xD

strangely enough there was a direct correlation between the number of people I called cnt or twat on this forum and the number of cnts and twats that used to post here mr Szarlotka turned out to be neither

I would like to know more about Poland and polish, i googled and this forum pop up, it seems to be the place i am looking for after reading some topic, so i finally registered myself.... Actually i was looking for some serious discussion etc.

It seems to me that majority member here have polish roots even if they are from another country.(I could be wrong though).

I am a small eye ;-) yellow skin female, eh :-) .

I do a lot of google searching as part of my work. It was inevitable that I would come across Polish Forums sooner rather than later... ;-)

I was and still am intersted in other people's outlooks on Poland. The second goal would be to catch some new english words here and there.

123z: I am a small eye ;-) yellow skin female, eh The only thing i have ever seen with small eyes and yellow skin was a snake...! If you are Chinese you should not add to the myth , Chinese people do not have yellow skin , I had a Chinese girlfriend in London , and she had a nice light brown skin...

Well the reason I am here is because I love Poland and the Polish people.
I live in Canada, was born in Austria, but my family is 100% Polish.

More specifically it is hard for me to communicate with Polish people on the Internet
because I can only speak and read Polish but I cannot write in Polish (its extremely hard to learn for me especially since I am not a child anymore).

This forum uses the English language (which I am more familiar with) and this makes it an awesome place :)
