SFN is 4 earth years old !!! Happy Birthday. Cap'n Refsmmat must have cut a cake on this occasion i bet :)

CAn i ask a question? How did the original admins and mods make it such a popular site? If you can give me some tips. Thanks.

I believe they had an advertising deal with another science website, as well as attracting quite a few good members from the start (good connections, you might say).
No advertising deal. Fafalone and I started the site and forced some of our non-science oriented friends in a certain AOL chatroom to join. One guy in the room decided it would be fun to spam our site all over the internet with a stupid tag line such as "Created by real harvard (or yale, can't remember which school he used) scientists", and "real naked women" kind of thing in AOL chats kind of thing. You can still find some of the former taglines around. After we got a few baseline members from I don't know where (none of the original members really posted anything regarding science), things just picked up on their own.. We've never advertised on another website, so everything has been word of mouth/google. I suppose it was a combination of luck and timing.

PhysicsForums advertising?
No, we had a deal with him where he could advertise his ads on our site, but there was no advertising of his site on ours or our site on his.
