44,000 members at http://www.physlink.com/Community/Forums/Index.cfm but now its pretty dead. Perhaps they may want to just use us as their forum? Couldn't hurt to ask.

Partnership With Another Physics Forum
- Thread starter Carlos Hernandez
- Start date
In summary, the website Physlink had 44,000 members but is now inactive. The suggestion is made to invite other groups, such as Omni-Science and Math4u, to join and create new sections for topics like archaeology and anthropology. Another forum, The Brights, is also suggested to join. The idea of consolidation is mentioned, with the belief that the Theory of Everything has a better chance than the current suggestion.

I have in the past and the owner is not interested. The main problem is that physlink is a commercial site and PF is non-profit.

The following two groups should shut down and use this forum instead:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Omni-Science/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Math4u/
Maybe even create new sections, like archaelogy/anthropology to accommodate them and others interested.

Why is it dead if it has 44,000 members?

Dead as in there are usually one or two members online at any given time, compared to 120 here.
I don't like redundancy, there are too many same types of forums, I would like to see massive consolidation.

unification not only in physics but in its discussion forums , i think that TOE has a better chance than your idea
1. What is the purpose of a partnership with another physics forum?
The purpose of a partnership with another physics forum is to collaborate and share resources, knowledge, and expertise in the field of physics. This can lead to a more comprehensive and diverse understanding of physics among members of both forums.
2. How can a partnership benefit members of both forums?
A partnership can benefit members of both forums by providing access to a larger community of physicists and a wider range of discussions, ideas, and perspectives. It also allows for the exchange of information and resources, which can enhance the learning experience for all members.
3. Are there any potential challenges in a partnership with another physics forum?
Yes, there can be potential challenges in a partnership with another physics forum, such as differences in forum rules, communication barriers, and conflicting opinions or beliefs. However, these challenges can be addressed through open and respectful communication and establishing clear guidelines for collaboration.
4. How can members of both forums maintain their individual identities and values in a partnership?
Members of both forums can maintain their individual identities and values by respecting and acknowledging the differences between the two forums. It is important to listen to and consider different perspectives and to communicate openly and respectfully to ensure that each forum's identity and values are preserved.
5. Are there any potential benefits for the field of physics as a whole in forming partnerships between forums?
Yes, forming partnerships between forums can have potential benefits for the field of physics as a whole. It can lead to the creation of a stronger and more united community, which can facilitate collaboration on research projects and the sharing of new ideas and discoveries. This, in turn, can advance the field of physics and benefit society as a whole.
