I've never played chess seriously outside of this website, and I was wondering how our ratings here would come out as FIDE/USCF ratings.

I.E. If my rating here is x, what would it be if I was a part of the FIDE/USCF/BCF/etc.

Is these really no way of estimating it, even roughly?

Hi PythagoreanA,

I think you'll find several (many) posts on this topic already, so you're probably better off reading those than re-hashing the subject all over again. Here are a couple of relevant posts, but there are many others too:
