BUMP! (on the assumption that this info is useful to you guys, for advertising or summit)

 

i wanted to know if anyone had any info on whether retriction enzyme genes functioned in eukaryotes, (on which theres no published data)

 

i typed 'science forum' into google and joined about three forums to post my question. then i had a savvy all around this forum 'cos it seemed interesting and the replyers to my question seemed to have a groovy balance of sciency knowledge and happy-happy-fun-funness.

 

goot hooked on the hillariouse 'myth of human evolution' thread starring willow, and 'ta-da': one more member.

 

By the way, we're the first search result for 'science forum' in google now :)

I was googling info on lasers or plasma (forget which) and ended up here.

 

And good for you Dak. If willow's had been the first thread I had stumbled into, I would have abandoned the site without a second thought.

I just wanted to join a forum where i can talk about some of the science things that noone else wanted to talk about so i went on google and typed "Science forum." Even though this was the first site i did see others but in the end this looked like the right site to join.

i just typed science forums on google and this was the 1st one of the list. That reminds me i should check out the others.

 

Same here, and personally this is the best I've found...there's some true experts in the field and a diverse community which makes for good debate.

 

I've found a lot of forums just boiling topics down to skepticism and philosophy which is fine if you're interested in those subjects, but not if you want to learn anything.

I used to go to a site called 'dr neutrino' or 'ask dr neutrino' this was, in my opinion, the best science forum on the web, but it shut down one day, and ever since, I have been searching for a science forum that measured up to it. None came close until I ran across this one. (Yahoo! Search)

Hmm..I chose other because i wouldn't consider it a link on another site. I was browsing through another forum, and I saw a thread titled "other science forums" and I just came here, don't post much but its cool.

also 'googled' science forum.

 

I was a member at Evo vs Creationist Forum but never posted much. The debate there didn't seem to achive much, although it was amusing for a while. I thought I would look for a general science forum instead - that said, it seems like their is a lot more activity in the in physics forums than elsewhere.

Found it through a search engine.

Klaynos mentioned it on one of the network IRC channels and dragged me into #sfn and then I found the site from the channel (bit of a backwards way of doing things heh).

There's no category up there for "luck," but search engine is the second-best fit.

 

I was really looking for a place to answer a couple questions I had, I figured I'd find a regular old web site. Then google showed me SFN and I screamed "I've seen the light!" or something along the lines of that (maybe it was "Sweet...") and I realized that I could always pester the people here by asking stupid questions :P

 

Thus, my life as an SFNite started...
