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.

Looks good, gold!

It is somewhat hard to either remove or place...
:smile::approve:

I'm thinking two golds. Just sayin'

It is a favor to younger students and non-members.

Exactly.

I just gave the checkout lady, at my local market, "print screens" of PFs home page for her H.S. daughter, who can't make up her mind as to what kind of engineer she wants to be.

Is it fine if I do this for my high school?

WBN has a gold membership now, and he keeps making fun of me and hitting me because I don't have one :frown:

I just want the pain to stop.

Yes, if you tell your science teachers about it too :)

One up that member :)

I'd transfer to another school just to do this and get Gold

What if I put this on the bulletin board outside my office at Mathworks? Does that count?

Yes, that works :)

Does this offer also apply to those in high school? They offer AP physics and math courses.
 
  • #214
Will I get a membership if I put it up in a portuguese university, or is it US-only?

Yes. Tell your teacher about it too!

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 6 months! 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 it posted up. 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:

I am not a Cheat I never have been. But I have Always believed in being honest and helping people even if its just pointing useful information out to people.

You know you can easily change the background in a picture using a photo editing suite on a computer. For a PDF Photo Adobe Photo-shop works well. No need to print the photo out or take it any wear, and you could rip off a life time membership by using this method. I personally would stick to stranded Cash payments, by Paypal.

No one would dare rip PF off! I'd call in the PF Sisterhood to take care of them!

True, but it is just as as to put on on a billboard, which only takes a second.

I actually placed another one because someone must have took it :<)

So here are my two cents for the sake of it.
When I will get to the capital city of my country I will post this in a few more universities where my fellow friends learn.

For now this is posted at the school I graduated back in the day.Tukums 2.school. Latvia.
Greets from LV. :)

Hi I'm a brand new member just started learning physics by myself and and I am very interested in this offer but now I'm in spring break... so my question is: Is it still on, and can I do it after break?

I did some verbal "PF Proliferation" at the Norfolk Virginia airport Sunday. I meet an Electrical Engineer who's going to be checking us out if he hasn't already. I didn't get his name, but if he happens to read this ...

Welcome to Physics Forums and I hope your flight didn't demonstrate inertia like the train. :wink:

I will pin it at Orbit

Thanks am a student and i will legally pin it in our college bulletin board. I will forward you a photo too.

I think the members that have held up a note with their member name next to the flyer is a nice idea.

Gold to ya!

Are the terms still the same: six months Gold Membership for a link on a site but permanent for a photo?

Seems backwards. Flyers usually get torn down daily by janitorial staff, so the advertising is a lot more short-term. A link, on the other hand, is more long-term and can be checked daily to confirm it is still there.

It's not permanent if you put up a photo. Only a year/six months.

Well I just made an account here. I have been lurking this site for like 2+ years. But good to be here. I will try to spread the word.

Just a question? What's the difference between a gold membership and a regular membership? I mena the benefits etc.
