What are Community Promotion Ads?

Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.

Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?

This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:

  • the site's twitter account
  • useful tools or resources for physics research
  • interesting articles or findings for the curious
  • cool events or conferences
  • anything else your community would genuinely be interested in

The goal is for future visitors to find out about the stuff your community deems important. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are relevant to your own community's interests, both for those already in the community and those yet to join.

How does it work?

The answers you post to this question must conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored.

  1. All answers should be in the exact form of:

    [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]

   [1]: http://image-url
   [2]: http://clickthrough-url

    Please do not add anything else to the body of the post. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.

  2. The question must always be tagged with the magic tag.

Image requirements

  • The image that you create must be 220 x 250 pixels
  • Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)
  • Must be GIF or PNG
  • No animated GIFs
  • Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB

Score Threshold

There is a minimum score threshold an answer must meet (currently 6) before it will be shown on the main site.

You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats here.

  • $\begingroup$ @Zassoun Thanks for prodding me about that - this is one of many sites where I haven't revised the description to something that actually makes sense. I'll get right to that, let me know if it is any clearer now. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ For some background on this image, this is an isosurface representation of the highest occupied molecular orbital of the benzene molecule (C6H6). The electronic structure calculation was performed using the ORCA software of Neese and coworkers, was post-processed in VMD and then rendered in Blender using Cycles. The isosurface meshes are not strictly quantitative as they were Catmull-Clark subdivided and smoothed. Red is wild cherry flavoured and blue is blueberry flavoured. :D $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ A bit of detail about the site. It's a educational site sponsored by the Royal Society and University of Oxford, providing a good amount of detail about current string theory research. Hopefully it's accessibly to the layman, but also contains sufficient information to interest students at undergraduate level. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Qmechanic: that's true. Although I think Why String Theory? is a little more up to date! The superstrings one doesn't look like it's changed since the 90s. Still a useful reference though :). $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Wow, I have just seen that you have worked yourself on developing this cute site? It is a lot of fun browsing through it :-). There is only one link to a not particularly ST friendly blog I dont agree with; the owner of this blog will certainly not approve this nice site you (helped to ?) developped. As soon as he detects it he will most probably write a blog post ... but not with the intent to advertise it, on the contrary ... :-/ $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Dilaton I did work on it myself, thanks for the compliments! I agree that Peter Woit is probably not going to be positive about the site. But our brief was to provide a balanced overview of string theory, so it's only fair to link to some more critical material. I myself don't agree with Peter either, but that's just my personal viewpoint! $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Dear Edward, the overview is very fair and balanced indeed I think, it makes a very nice and enjoyable reading and there is partly even some good humor in it that made me chuckle :-). I'm so sorry that in the comments below Sean Carrol's article announcing the cute site many people including PW (he is horribly unfair, scornful, and destructive in my opinion) just spit and spat on it. I just hope you, Charlotte Mason, and Joseph Conlon manage to ignore them (if you have seen this :-/...) and that you generally obtain the positive response you deserve to your cool project. Cheers $\endgroup$
