Why is Physicsforums such a nice place? :D

Hi guys, I'm quite surprised at the response I got from people in this forum whenever i ask for help in my learning. As I'm learning on my own university physics, the help i received here is tremendously useful. The answers given are detailed, specific and at times i get questions back instead of answers (which i find it very useful too to question what i understand). Thanks a lot people!

You're welcome, SecretSnow. I'm glad you like this place!

It really are all the users here who make this a nice place. That are of course the knowledgeable people such as the SA's and HH's who give up their free time just to help other people. But it also are the users who are passionate about science and who desire to learn more.

Yeah, it's almost a miracle how patient some of the folks are and how good the community is.

I'm so sick of places like reddit; glad to see a community with some maturity.
