How was Physics Forums created?

[Nacho]

Hmmm .. that's the problem with only leavings links in the body of a response, and nothing more. A person reading them can never tell for sure who they were ment for, and in response to what post.

So is the current PF a new forum, or did it update the one pointed by your link? I had thought that PF started working in March 2003.

And how many members do we have right now?

Regarding your last question, look at the home page. A number of 18,000 and something is given.

Who were the first 100 forum members?

Those who have the earliest join dates are obviously the first members. True, Greg has to make some statistics to show to us.

PF members, sorted by join date:

Notice that many of the first membes were people who jumped immediately from the previous version of PF.

Not just that, but the Mentors from the time were allowed over first to come over and start playing before everyone else.

The link is a snapshot of how PF looked in may 2001, the forums first started in februari of that year. The current PF is the same forum, but updated. Here is the memberslist of the first start http://web.archive.org/web/20010306060656/www.physicsforums.com/members.asp
