AI Thread 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.

In case you mean that I gifted a gold membership*, that post was just a joke referring to a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrite" .

*I have no money...

We are proud to present project PF Proliferation! It's a very simple way to spread the word about PF and get free gold membership for a year. What you do is print out the below PDF flyer. Post it on a university/college bulletin board or sign post (legally) and take a photo of yourself next to it. Post the photo here (add what campus) and boom, instant gold membership and you help spread the word. Now what are you waiting for!? Go Go Go! :smile:

any college? mostly tech schools around here but there is a few universities within 100 miles. next time i visit my fam i could post some.

Thanks. Some people were looking at me funny, but I thought the end result would probably be worth it...

Just noticed this thread. Printed out the flyer, but then got to feeling guilty. Then realized subscription was only 15 bucks. I spent $200 on textbooks yesterday. $15 felt like peanuts today. Bought subscription. Will post flyer anyway. I'll wait till fall term starts though, I'm afraid they'll clear the boards over the break.

Hey... Maybe I'll print a bunch of flyers and put them in my favorite bathrooms!

I definitely stake out the good ones on campus first thing.

I forgot to post a flyer since my return to a 4 year university last spring. I missed out on posting it as an actual physics major (since I was just passing through), but I'll post one (or more) up in a few weeks when the semester starts.

When does school start for you? First week on sept?

You didn't have a favourite bathroom? Man, there is this really great one at my university. Nice and spacious, calm aquamarine walls, very low traffic... I'd say more, but I don't want anyone else to start using it... It's mine.

Sorry, missed this. Mine starts Aug. 22nd. For some reason they're aligned with all the rest of the schools around here. Seems pretty damn early for college IMO.

I was actually up on campus this morning signing up for an online orientation and scoping out all my classrooms. I saw a bulletin board and it reminded me, but I didn't have my ID to print anything out.

Well, I didn't necessarily stand next to the flyer, but I did include a little note card with my username on it in the picture, hows that?

I had this posted up at http://rcc.edu"

Now another student as confused as myself can find salvation in the fountain of knowledge that is the Physics Forums:approve:

Considering I've done this once for WSU, is it all right for me to do another one, for another school, and get another year?
