Spambot? Does that mean someone's trying to hack us again? :( [And really -- it's not THAT hard to just sign up....].

Although it would be interesting to see how we rank as compared to a couple of years ago.

There was a bunch of spam on Saturday morning that was mostly cleaned out by the afternoon.

Ah. I wasn't online most of Saturday -- I was at the Ohio Pen Show and stayed through most of the auction. And then on Sunday I had to pack up everything and check out of my hotel room, then go back over to the show for a few hours, then drive home. So luckily I missed the spam....

Bummer for those who had to deal with it.

I'm glad there are still forums like this. In times of antisocial networks there are not many places for discussions or help-by-users left.

Me neither.

 

Reddit is one of the most popular forum webpages on the internet.

 

They also have a section devoted to Fountain Pens.

 

And that section is not as popular as this forum.

I think when I first signed up to this forum years ago it was the first when searching 'fountain pen forums'. The community was able to identify all the pens I had no idea about. By reading and interacting with users on this forum I quickly learned loads about fountain pens. One day hit bad luck and had to sell most of my expensive pens and forgot about pens for a bit and ended up back at clear plastic ballpoints. One day I pulled out my sterling silver p75 that had oxidised from neglect still tucked away safe in its case and decided to pick up the pen and start writing.

 

When I searched for fountain pen forum I had almost expected to end up somewhere new. But no, here was the first result in google and one of the most active looking fountain pen forums so here I came back to! My old account had seemed to have vanished or perhaps I named it something else. To my pleasure I found it was the same old fpn with loads of interesting topics and people helping each other. Some of the names are different, but the vibe is the same.

 

I only write with fountain pens now and even though I don't write with many expensive pens I enjoy it all the same and I'm really glad this forum is still here as a place for fellow pen enthusiasts and newbies to hang out, help each other and share various interesting pens.

 

I also noticed (off topic) that my favourite pen reviewer sbebrown is still doing youtube and even though I can't afford most of the pens he shows it's still great to watch his stuff and I'm so glad he's still doing it!

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
