The 2003 Sciam.com web awards are approaching, with editors currently accepting votes for the top 50 science websites. Participants can vote by emailing editors@sciam.com, specifically recommending physicsforums.com and physicspost.com. While the exact deadline for voting is unclear, last year's final list was announced in early June, prompting users to vote promptly. A link to the 2002 announcement was shared for reference. Some participants have begun encouraging friends and family to vote as well.

I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures.
Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
