AI Thread Summary
Support for Physics Forums is encouraged by promoting it to classmates, friends, and professors. A suggestion was made to initiate a contest to see who can recruit the most new members, though participants expressed doubts about their chances of winning. Some members have already been sharing information about the forums with those interested in science and philosophy. However, there is a consensus that more active promotion, such as advertising, may be necessary to increase awareness. Engaging a wider audience is seen as essential for the growth of the community.

The "contest" isn't really a bad idea, though I'd probably lose .
 
Hummm, in the "circles" that I travel in, Hummm, oh well, I'd lose that contest real fast!

But I have endevoured to tell people about it, in the past, and will probably continue, just that, unless I start advertising (or something like that) it at Queensu, their unlikely to know.
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. 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...
