I think I posted once... maybe not. But I was registered, receiving the letter. Can someone clue me in on why I wasn't registered anymore? Was there a major makeover here?

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued.
