Awesome Forum!

I love the layout of your forum! THe only suggestion I can think of would be to have an off-topic section if there isn't one already. I am Polish, but I know very little about the Polish background. Hopefully by being active on this site, I can learn things that I never knew before. Great job on the site, and like I said, the only thing I can think of is to add an off topic section if there isn't one already. Thanks and good luck!

Thank you for your warm words.

Could you elaborate what you mean by off-topic board? I imagine you are talking about things not paarticularly related to Poland.

Well, there are such boards which comprise strictly American or non-Polish-oriented, universal topics. E.g.,:

the board called Life is a Fatal Disease
polandsite.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=polishblog

with such threads as Obama election last year:
polandsite.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=polishblog&action=display&thread=345

or Access to Guns is a bad thing
polandsite.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=polishblog&action=display&thread=235

or the one about dangerous flu vaccines:
polandsite.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=polishblog&action=display&thread=446

or global warming
polandsite.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=polishblog&action=display&thread=573

and many others.




And another thread called Variety is the Spice of Life
polandsite.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general


where you can also put universal topics, e.g.,:

How the US got into financial mess
polandsite.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=436

Why women should vote
polandsite.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=404

Most mentioned topics have been started by Pol Americans who participate(d) in this Polish Forum.





Is it what you meant by Off-Topic Lounge? Am I guessing correctly?

It is not a problem to create such a board. But I would like to have more data to jusitfy its existence.
