We broke the record!

Wait, your website has been recognized year after year, and its value is not in dispute. There is genuine benefit to be had here,

calling it spamming to me is a stretch. If we had some as yet to be invented great feature and wanted to get the word out, why is this spamming ?

Rhody...
Everyone, everywhere who has anything, can claim it's of great value, and that everyone else should be aware of it.

The act of spamming is the act of contacting people in bulk, undifferentiated about whether the recipient has solicited input for that particular kind of value.

I think the best way we can target the higher education crowd is through our PF Proliferation Project http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=338366

Thanks for the brainstorming Rhody!

Dave,

Yeah, my idea was the President and Academic Dean of these colleges, a very targeted audience, so spamming it is not, correct ?

Rhody, these people receive probably 100's of mails every day. A mail from PF would be deleted almost immediately.
Furthermore, the president and the dean are not the people we should target. We should target the students and the professors. But again, spamming is not a solution. The PF proliferation project is ideal in attracting students.

I have mentioned PF to my students as a good way to gain information. It is such a personal communications that can be succesful. Spamming can rarely be succesful, in my opinion.

wouldn't it be easier to put these record on a "most active user vs. date" line graph? :)

My second cousin called today, and she asked if I was still involved with "that physics site". I had enlisted her daughter's husband to post a PF flier at his technical college. It's nice to see that she remembered at least, because some people don't catch a clue.

That might go some way to explaining the 20+ subscribed threads I woke up to this morning.
