what about a letter request from your end sent to me indicating that i am a member of physics forums and a Gold member, a member for the last 7 years for my cv? addressed to whom it may concern

Ok as you suggest though a PDF letter could be better, thanks though
 
Greg can we market the physicsforum in Africa. I believe many universities and colleges may have students who would be more than willing to become members. I am thinking of physicsforums creating an award to say best maths student or say best physics student award that would create a marketing platform for the forum and also an interest in the number of students/teachers who would be interested to subscribe.

I think PF is a very excellent physics BBS, there are many enthusiastic and professional friends to explore the magic of physics together, every physics lover is willing to contribute to the development and expansion of PF according to their ability, persistence is victory!
The road to science is full of unknown, I think it is important to adhere to the spirit of seeking truth from facts, in the exploration of the road should be bold assumptions, relax restrictions, absorb more and more physics enthusiasts, such as: UFO power, perpetual motion, anti-gravity and other aspects.
 
You can either keep the forum dedicated to what is real or have endless discussions with crackpots about the topics you mentioned. You can't do both.
We* tried. Physicsforums had a "theory development" forum long ago which didn't have any topic limitations. It didn't work.

*impersonal "we", it was long before I joined here.

We even had a pseudoscience forum for the first few years!

I can imagine how difficult moderation was at that time.

..., in other words, "Thanks for the suggestions, but they've been tried before, and declared failures."

I don't want support cause each time I want post, I see " Not open for further replies."
So forum useless.

Is it because the threads that you want to post in are all very old? Or were they closed because they violate the PF rules? Can you post links to a couple of them?
