poland and the olish have always stuck me as a very design conscious and competent nation... i mean... look at the gaudiesque edifice they have put up on Monte Casino... one of a kind!
but overall, this national talent doesnt seem to transfer itself well to much of what has been built in recent years... so many of the new buildings remain unimaginative boxes...

very interesting question - my master's is in marketing and e-commerce with an emphasis on how this can be applied in an education context - forums, moos etc played a large part of this...
long story short - people will repeat visit a forum for 2 broad reasons - firstly, that it provides them with information that is valuable to them and that this information is continuously updated; secondly, that there is a sense of community which they feel they can belong to... of these 2 factors, each is dependent on the individual visitor which is why you will get some posters who visit very occassionally for a translation only [type 1] and those of us who spend way too much time here for it to be healthy [type 2]
obviously the majority of repeat visitors will fall somewhere in between the two...
while both types are important, type 2 - those who visit the forum on a daily basis because they feel part of a community - is what holds a forum together, give it life so to speak...
there are many reasons for dozens of modorators... those of us who visit other forums with a different set up of moderators will know the pros and cons of different moderating styles... and how quickly a change in this style, as with just the graphical representation of a forum, can impact on its success or falior... which is a reason 1. i had reservations about daffy becoming a moderator and 2. why i didnt particularly want to know about it
blah blah blah... if you want to know more about forum dynamics and how they apply to the wonderful world of marketing i can send you some links :)
But how do you know people come here to have fun?

dozens of moderators? What, in your opinion, are they for and why do they keep them?

i understand that... but its not an arguement... its a diktat
just as in real life, threads/conversations come to a natural end when the topic is exhausted or the question answered... and just as in real life... threads/conversations spark new discussions and go off on a tangent , in many cases as equally valid, rewarding, interesting and entertaining as the OP... this is how natural conversation flows...
if somebody wants to bring the thread back to the original topic a simple act of conversational skill allows them to do that... and if other posters want to take the invite the thread will continue in its original direction...
much of what is deemed by admin etc as highjacking of an original thread is informative, entertaining and relevent... why delete it or hide it decreases from the value of the forum if anything, not add to it
just putting my thoughts across daff... rules are rules... :)

hej seanie
prices are determined on square meterage and this varies depending on the area of the Tri City
Places with high costs include Gdansk Old Town, Wrzeszcz and Oliwa with Sopot at the top of the list but other areas are catching up quickly. I have started to look at smaller cities a short distance from the TC where you can still get more for your money but prices are rising quickly - 2 i have bought in are Tczew and Wejherowo
Have a look at this site to get an idea of whats on the market - remember that these are being sold via an agent so are marginaly more expensive than private sales

it would certainly make life easier - i have a polish partner, contract we have between us allows him to buy property in his name so i dont have to go thru the permit application process.
