How and when did these forums come into being? Are they run by a company, or individuals? Is it a hobby or business?
I like the version which took place in a dark, seedy bar in a back alley, in a dangerous part of town, at 2 am. The fog had rolled in . . . There was a flash of lightning . . . . a howling in the mist . . .Moonbear said:It started out as an extra-credit project to help Greg pass his high school physics class! Now it's helping countless others pass their high school and university classes in all the math and science subjects! I agree with Evo, I think avocation is a good way to describe it. It's certainly more than just a hobby, but it's also not a business.
Hey there,
I thought you might be interested in visiting physicsforums.com which I have recently announced. You can find and discuss many subjects.

Lisa! said:When's PF birthday? And who were the 1st PFers?:shy: Is it something around 11/19/2001?
To be safe, I retracted the link.neutrino said:Btw, isn't that site giving away a little too much info. Like the add, phone# etc?
I don't know if that's true anymore. We'd have to do a head count to check. There's a group of us who are fairly new as mentors who have been invited to replace "retiring" mentors, or to provide additional support in active forums where more mentors were needed to keep up with the sheer volume of posts (or both). Those of us who are newest are Zz, Loseyourname, SpaceTiger, Vanesch and myself. I don't know when Evo joined up...something tells me she got assigned the GD and P&WA mentorship when everyone else took 2 steps backward as Greg asked for a volunteer to step forward after Zero just up and disappeared on us.Lisa! said:You mean most of the mentors were the 1st PF'ers? Now the question is that when and how they found PF.

All the better to sneak up on people. Maybe I haven't banned enough crackpots to earn my stripes yet.russ_watters said:Moonbear: #6344, 01-23-2004 (btw, isn't listed in the moderators list..)
