AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the difficulty in locating the forum rules for user behavior on Physics Forums. A user expressed confusion about the absence of a dedicated page for these rules, suggesting they might be hidden. Another member pointed out that the rules are actually available in a sticky thread at the top of the forum. The new user acknowledged their unfamiliarity with the forum format and expected the information to be on a separate web page. Clarity on the location of forum rules is important for user orientation.

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. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures.
