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.

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:

You can also get 6 months gold membership by linking to PF on your website.

I shall do this when I get back to uni in the new year.

I have discussed the site with a number of my class mates that were previously unaware of the site and how beneficial it can be to have those knowledgeable in physics/maths available to help with problems when it is out of hours with our own teaching staff. + the great environment for satisfying curiosity.

Greg,

With the Gold Membership, could I add my links to my signature line? I am looking to promote my new book at Amazon related to physics praxis exam.

I don't see why that would count. The point is to have a flyer on display at school. If we accept a twitter, then why not FB or an e-mail or IM or any other temporary media not intended for potential members?

(now watch Greg decide anything goes)

Greg, did you get the new flyer out? I'm longing to popularize PF in my institute!:cool:
I don't have regular classes now but I'll post it in a month.
 
  • #267
I'll have the new one up in two weeks. Until then post a link in your website/blog to get gold membership :)
 
  • #268
I don't have my website or blog. It seems that next week is the last one and then the hols start. Would posting the old flyer do?

My name is Duave, and I attend San Francisco State University in San Francisco California. I have posted a pic of me standing in my labcoat on the first floor of Thorton Hall. Thorton Hall is the Engineering and Sciences Building on Campus. I am a Materials Chemists. I woul like Gold Status So that I can receive more help with my electronics course this semester.
Thank you.

Maybe PF could plot an updateable map of where the PF flyers have been posted.

Good catch! I'll have a new PDF up shortly!

PDF has been updated to correct the spelling mistake. School season is almost here. Print out your copies and post them around!

Could you maybe make a black and white version for those who are not able to print colour. If I would to print this it would be a mess. Maybe remove the galactic bakgrund. This is just my opinion.

I posted about 5 around the physics and math depts. at UNC Chapel Hill. Some of the pictures turned out blurry, so I'll have to go back and retake them some time. Here are the pics that turned out OK:

I don't care if it's near your house or school as long as it's in a public place where science folk hang out :)

So...
I don't have the energy or desire to read this whole thread or any associated ones, so I'm just going to ask something that might have already been answered.
If someone like me who has paid for a Gold membership extending to more than twice his expected lifespan happens to do something that earns a free one, does he get his money back? :oldtongue:

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

That would be awesome.
