AI Thread Summary
A visual representation of a forum's posting history over time is proposed, utilizing a graph with the X-axis representing days, weeks, or years, and the Y-axis indicating the number of posts. The suggestion includes the possibility of a negative Y-axis to account for spam or mischievous activities. This feature aims to enhance user engagement and provide insights into posting trends. Overall, the idea is well-received as a valuable addition to forum functionality. Implementing such a feature could improve community interaction and monitoring.

I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
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. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
