AI Thread Summary
Users are reporting slow loading times on Physics Forum, with pages taking over 10 seconds to load. Some have suggested performing a Ping and Tracert to diagnose the issue. Initial tests indicate that while the Ping results are fine, one Tracert timed out, potentially pointing to a problem with the user's ISP, Psinet. There was also a minor error noted where one user mistakenly referenced physicsforum.com instead of physicsforums.com. The discussion highlights concerns about the forum's performance and possible connectivity issues.

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.
