Hi,

There is a discussion going on on another forum I'm a member of about the costs of running a forum. I just want to compare, but I have no idea how big this forum is. How many unique users come here every month?

Welcome to PF. As of today's PF Statistics, we have 220,583 members. There are far more than that who casually read the site without becoming members. A very small percentage are regularly active, though.
If you scroll down the right side of the home page, you will see a list of who is currently active.

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.
