Thanks, Denis. Hopefully folks will sign up here and we can indeed have a "backup" - or even just yammer about the same topics in two places. :)

You're welcome KCat !

 

I hope I'm wrong but I am afraid that Avery might have turned a page on RS when he moved...

 

So here is our shelter... just in case...

 

btw, what categories/forums would you add. I made a Ink forum, as we spoke about that on RS few weeks ago.

 

Denis.

I'll have some thoughts later, I'm sure. some are creeping in already. Will post in the "suggestion box."

Thanks for unleashing your brain-power KCat ;)

 

I would not say "fun", but it's fairly easy to do...

There are a lot of option to choose for the administrator, and many features to allow or restrict.

 

For the users too. For example, if you go into "My Controls / Email Settings", you can request to have the full text of the answers to a post you are watching e-mailed to you, not just the notification... I find that great !

You can also choose your title/rank... if you don't like the "Newbie" or the automatic ranks, you can personalize that in your profile.

Hi Denis,

 

This is a great site you have here. Are you into this full time? I don't know how it is that you are able to maintain this site and yet appear in multiple communities at the same time. I don't think Avery will be too concern about another competing forum. In fact, he has been gracious enough to allow our discussion about your site in his forum. BTW do you allow tags or image links here? You know how I like to post.

No it's not a full time occupation. It actually took me just a few hours to put up the main site, and around 30 minutes to set up the forum. All with free hosting. It does not cost a dime.

 

I spend a big part of my time coding and running those codes. The runs can be long, so I have some idle time, which allows me to go around the FP sites.

 

I put up the forum, as Avery has been absent for months now, and RS goes blank on week ends lately. This is mainly a backup for when RS is not availabe.

 

Denis.

Hi All,

 

Great Denis, nice to have a retreat when things aren't working out in other places (in many meanings of the word :D

 

Kind regards, wim, the Maddest Dutchman of them all.... :)

StoneBear - I am curious as to the significance of your nick.

 

anything to do with Bears, Cats or Birds is of interest to me. Pretty dull life, eh? :P

Hey Denis, I've been requested to introduce myself which is only proper so here you go.

 

I'm Becky, also known as bunny, and I love pink pens! I guess I should also add that it can be any shade of pink from the palest to mauve or magenta to outright red. I enjoy most kinds of music and a whole lot of other things too...eclectic is what I am. I'm new to collecting F/P's so while, right now, I might not be able to contribute the way I'd like, I know I'll enjoy the company and talking about fountain pens. There is other stuff in my profile I believe so I suppose you can get more info that way too. It's about 3:30am and I'd better try and get some zzzzzz's.

Hi, everyone!

 

I'm Jane, I have also come from RS. I am a user who accumulates. I can't list a favorite pen, because that varies fron day to day, sometimes hour to hour..... Overall, I like Pelikans, Montblanc, and Parker Sonnets.

 

Jane :)

hi folks,

 

in the cyberworld, i hail from pentrace. what seems to be, lately, the land of perpetual arguments. enough of that...

in the real world, i live in las vegas, nevada. the land of perpetual gambling. not me mind you, i wouldn't have any money left over for pens! i've been collecting for three years now. mostly vintage, although i do seem to have a "thing" for modern japanese pens lately. i like all sorts of stuff so long as it has a nib. flexible is even better...

if someone would be so kind as to tell me how to add an avatar to my posts, i would be most grateful.

 

in ink,

chris burton

Hey chris b! It's bunny from PT chat! I can't help with a lot but I think I might be able to help with this at least.

 

I found mine by going here

http://www.avatarity.com/

 

but you can also go here

http://www.avatara.org/

 

And pick something that will suit your personality or interests or whatever will represent you. I don't know what you know about computers so please forgive if it sounds simplistic. Find a graphic you like at either site above, save it to your computer, then if you are logged in you can click the link is at the top of the screen where "My Controls" is, then click where it has "Personal Profile" at the left, click Edit Avatar Settings....you can browse your computer for where you saved the graphic, and Wahla....you have been avatarred.

 

Hope that helps!

Becky

      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
