AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the declining activity of the Physics Forum at PhysLink, which has 44,000 members but few active users. Carlos Hernandez notes that the owner is not interested in merging with the Physics Forum due to its commercial nature, contrasting with the non-profit status of PF. Suggestions include consolidating smaller, similar forums and creating new sections to attract more users. The low engagement at PhysLink raises questions about its viability despite a large membership. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for consolidation in the online physics community.

44,000 members at http://www.physlink.com/Community/Forums/Index.cfm but now its pretty dead. Perhaps they may want to just use us as their forum? Couldn't hurt to ask.

Physics news on Phys.org
I have in the past and the owner is not interested. The main problem is that physlink is a commercial site and PF is non-profit.
 
Why is it dead if it has 44,000 members?

Dead as in there are usually one or two members online at any given time, compared to 120 here.

I don't like redundancy, there are too many same types of forums, I would like to see massive consolidation.
