Dear Admins and Mods,

 

Thank you, thank you thank you for bringing FPN back online! I've never known how much I depend on logging into FPN everyday and looking at others' pen trails :)

Not sure what caused the outage but would like an admin update when time permits.

 

Thankful things are working again here in FPN.

Rob Maguire (Plse call me "M or Mags" like my friends do...)I use a Tablet, Apple Pencil and a fountain pen. Targas, Sailor, MB, Visconti, Aurora, vintage Parkers, all wonderful.

Thank you for all your efforts to restore the database! I check FPN daily and I really missed it!

Thanks for all your hard work. I can only imagine just how frustrating it must have been. Now this junkie can get his fix again!

Did no one else notice that the first two pages of this thread, for the most part, are dated May 30, 2011, talking about an outage that occurred on Friday, May 27, 2011, with a last post dated June 3, 2011?? Nothing to do with the outage that occurred on May 30, 2012 (at least that was when I was unable to access FPN this year.) fountainbel resurrected the 2011 post this morning apparently.

 

Very odd that an outage would occur at the end of May two years in a row... :unsure: And there doesn't seem to be any comment from admin about what happened this year....

 

Well, I too am very happy that the site is back and hope that we will get at least a partial explanation about what happened at some point. :thumbup:

I run my own, much smaller forum, and I can speak first hand to absolute frustration and heartache that goes with the technical problems, especially when they impact the members. Know that we know it happens and its not that big of a deal. Now treat yourself to a new pen for all the aggravation ;)

I too was wondering why people were responding to a thread started in May 2011?

I had been wondering what the heck was wrong with my PC or what I had inadvertently done to block my access to the network.

 

As someone who struggles to sort out small hiccups and glitches with this wretched "supertool/toy" I bow to all the committed, hard-working and knowledgeable people who have laboured and succeeded in rectifying the problems which occurred. You have the utmost respect and appreciation of myself and all of those who use the network whether they contribute or simply seek out information. To simple folks such as I you are indeed magicians.

 

That small dose of cold turkey was more than enough for me!

To err is human. To errrrrrrr is confusion.

As has been said many times here, you were deeply missed. I just found out how addicted I have become!

 

Thanks again for all the hard work. If I can find a place to contribute, I will. (Money, not skill or expertise!) :roflmho:

UPDATE: Found the Paypal Donate button -- But it seems I can't contribute via Paypal, it says "This recipient is currently unable to receive money." (What??!!!)

 

Please fix this while I still have some spare cash!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
