Click For Summary
Project PF Proliferation offers a way to earn a free six-month gold membership by posting a flyer on a university bulletin board and sharing a photo of it. Participants can choose from three flyer designs based on their printing preferences. The initiative aims to increase awareness of Physics Forums (PF) among students, particularly those in technical and community colleges, as a valuable resource for academic support. Discussions also highlight the benefits of gold membership, such as an ad-free experience and enhanced profile features. Overall, the project encourages community engagement and support for PF's growth and sustainability.

Maybe Greg will let you gift it to some deserving student? Or place your hand prints in concrete in the lobby of PF Central?

We have done that before

You'd have to bring your lobby to me. Not only can I not leave my house, I'm not allowed in your country.

Greetings all,

1) If I affiliate physics forum on my website will I receive a gold membership?
2) Are there any pre-made affiliation support banners/widgets/buttons to perform this process?

Thanks.

Now your goal should be to get SA or HH status :)

Dear Greg:

I'm going to post the flyer in my university, is in La Paz/ Bolivia, "Universidad Mayor de San Andrés" or just "UMSA", also if you think is useful i could translate the text in Spanish and modify the flyer, just let me know.

I'm aware that this is an english speaker forum but anyway. If there's another way to help the community... please I'm here for you, so far this forum is the best thing I found this year, helped me a lot and i would like to return by any possible way.

Karmo.

It seems the concerns about a drop in gold membership registration are unfounded. That drop in revenue would be negligent compared to the increase in ad revenue, as well as the value of having increased traffic volume.

Sorry I am not following. What is this about?

The Proliferation program is a worthy enterprise, but PF users (aside from ad-revenue) should be willing to provide some financing. Your business-model is your own business, but you should consider letting us in on it...PF is valuable and should not wither due to lack of funding.

turbo's concern is unfounded, because it seems like Project Proliferation will bring in a lot of quality members (and thus people willing to finance this wonderful place).

I'm so happy to hear that. PF is a wonderful resource. I'm an old fart (if 60's is "old"), and I try to steer my young friends and relatives here so that they can get accustomed to dealing with PF members and be exposed to concepts that they won't encounter in our public schools.

Hi , I'm in 11th grade,and at the beginning of the year i had a lot of doubts in physics and Bio, that's where PF came in, when my teachers got irritated by my repeated questions, PF was there.
Since then I've been trying to get my friends to sign up. I just found out that you guys have flyers.
I pinned up a few in my high school library, but unfortunately, I'm not allowed to take my phone in. So i put up a few in and around my apartment building.. Loads of students, teacher's live in the building, should help them out. Happy to spread the word. :smile:

Yeah, that's noticeable. I actively avoid places and products which attempts to lure in people with pretty girls. So I hope that the majority of PF users is not like me :biggrin:

In a community that is 85% male, I'm taking my chances. Marketers aren't stupid :biggrin:

Yes, but scientists are not your average males...

Of course they're not, but nature usually wins in the end. If someone posts that flyer in the middle of "looking for renters" and "guitar for sale" type stuff, I bet more eyes go to our flyer.
