I've been there, it is rather boring and dull. The moderators apparently do not tolerate differences in opinion and expect of their members to be obedient clumps of clay for their own molding and sculpting. They lack the ability to discuss many things and appear confined and lame...limited in their ability to think.
To make matters worse, they have started a thread about the Sciforums:
http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=13846
where they criticize these forums, saying that the members are rude, that we are allowed to swear, and other garbage. I find the moderators there to be very rude, small-minded, petty, arrogant, and considering themselves more important then they really are,; note that moderators there both started this slanderous thread and carried on with it.
You can not have a good conversation with these people. They will tell you what you HAVE to think and how and if you don't you get banned. That is lame, it sucks, it is pathetic.
The members here may be rude at times, but they are able to discuss a much wider array of topics and speak much more honestly then there, where speech is confined and limited. What does not saying crap or fuck have to do with physics...really? Limited sissy talk...blah.
And then they compare, self-proclaiming their forum as the best forum on the internet...so I am comparing in return. I rate the Sci forums a 10 (on a scale of 1 to 10), a fun place with diverse members and opinions which is far more open minded then the physics forums...which I rate a -10 for sucking ass as much as they do.
I'll give it to them they have a collection of physics...that is as far as it goes. The sci forums also have physics, but many other scientific categories too. The moderators here do not ban people so loosely, and though they are strongly opinionated, they listen and communicate and accept that the members do not need to think like they do, which is apparently a requirement for remaining a member at the physics forums...conform or be banned. BS!
