How long have you posted on Physics Forums?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Loren, would you care to go first?
 
BoulderHead! You responded in negative time!
 
When I signed up PF2 was about 1 month old, that was December of ??
 
signed up in july 2001, an old member/moderator (typeo) introduced me to this forum. been addicted ever since.
 
Here since the beginning...more or less. Something like Jan 2001? Introduced to PF by Niqque. Anyone remember her?
 
I joined in the first week or two of PF 2.0. I was invited by Greg (IIRC) after posting on sci.physics *shudder* for a while. Probably the only piece of non-spam mail I got from posting my addy on that cess-pool.
 
A lady at the American Physical Society directed me here in March 2001, I believe.
 
Hello everybody,

My name is Gokul.

I've been here 3 months, and I'm addicted to PF. It's been about ten minutes since I last posted, and I post about 10 times a day. Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night, and need to post on PF before I can go back to sleep. I check PF first thing in the morning (before I read the news), and it's the last thing I do before going to bed.

Help me !

Unless you've been here since before March 2003, it says when you joined beneath your user name.

Joined 3/11/02. I was out of work and dying for some conversation about physics with other people, so I typed "physics chat message board forum" into Google, and found PF.

Long ago...
Once in a month. A couple of months ago, I posted daily but then I had no time, and had to stop and asked someone to come and take care of the stuff.
When I came back and read some of what I missed, amazingly found some misunderstood my words which were taken from Homey Simpson with my "momentarily" angry ones...
What is the prize for a win after all ? (*_*)

I joined in november 2002 and was quickly attracted by the rants of Donde about the number pi and its finiteness
Impayable

Whatever the date to the left says...

Since PF2.. with long breaks in between. At one stage i was obsessed, then it died down. Now i read, more than post..
i came to the forums for help with a year 11 physics assignment, now in my second year of uni.. it's been a while to say the least LoL

I came looking for some ranodom stuff to read about string theory. I was amazed by the abundance of ideas in this forum. I've been hoocked ever since, but I mostly just read since most of the time I have no idea what is going on.

I got here from M. Kaku's website... this is probably one of the best places to converse physics/other sciences.

I've been around for less than two weeks... I'm definitely a n00b here.

I was introduced to this forum via a link on a C++ forum. Someone was suggesting that we add the formula creation capabilities of this site to the forum. I followed their link to check it out, and was blown away by what I saw.

My main attraction to this site is that I don't really know that much about the material it encompasses. I've always thought about becoming a physicist, but I haven't ever really taken the time to seriously learn about physics outside of the tiny bits of it taught at school. It's a humbling experience for a junior in high school to be in the presence of college professors, nuclear physicists, and chemists. I hope to learn a lot from my stay here.

I was part of PF 1.0 and re-registered at PF 2.0. So the date on the left is only the re-registration date. I haven't posted for a while, I think ... more than 6-8 months maybe.
Dont remember exactly when I joined. End 2001 or beginning 2002. Maybe Greg can help.

Thanks Integral.
I hope to stick around for a while too. Let's see how it goes.

Here here!

I've been reading the posts since '01 (which, I guess, means I picked the wrong poll choice...oh well), and started posting just before it changed to PF2. I posted a bit more on PF2 (in fact, I'd just made it to the first page of the member's list when we upgraded again). Then I posted like mad for a while, on PF3, but I have been extremely irregular of late. Anyway, I'm 16, and have really grown with the PFs, if just through being exposed to such a vast amount of information as well as a group of people who actually value knowledge and the pursuit thereof.

Mentat - 16! You're a genius! :surprise:
 
  • #25
I agree.. beautiful control of language, Mentat, and a very clear mind.. but we already knew he's a genius since a long time :)

Thanks, Kerrie. Nice to see a lot of old members still around.

I have been on since '02 i think, but under a different alias... The Alpha Goat I think it was... I mainly posted when I needed help but last year I found general discussion, and well... here I am now.

Yes, I used to have a different username, too. I used to be "Tom". But then I changed my handle to what you see now. I figured I'd throw everyone off my trail that way.
