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.

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.

Greg Bernhardt said: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!
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?taleidelrey said:https://twitter.com/taleilama/status/420737176838893568 that's me twitter can I get gold membership please ?

(now watch Greg decide anything goes)

Greg, did you get the new flyer out? I'm longing to popularize PF in my institute!
I don't have regular classes now but I'll post it in a month.

I'll have the new one up in two weeks. Until then post a link in your website/blog to get gold membership :)

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?

Hello,
apologies for the fact that it took me so long to do this, but here it is in the University of Sussex' library.
BOAS.
EDIT - oops, it's massive. Not sure how to change that...
