Anyone know what the database product is behind the board?

Yes, of course we do, namely mySQL.

 

But that's not the point. mySQL in itself is very stable. It really is the software upgrades over the years, the corruptions we had when moving from 2.x to 3.x (remember the loss of all PMs, f.e.?), which were still lurking in the database, and never doing a full integrity check etc. because members would get new topic counts, amongst others.

 

Well, we did all of this now, so we are ok again for a while :D.

 

Warm regards, Wim

Thank you! I was about to go into serious withdrawal, sit in a corner hugging my knees and muttering nonsense.

phew! glad the forum is back :)

During the process of restoring and checking/fixing, we tried to keep you all up-to-date as much as possible through a "FPN maintenance" type temporary screen - we do hope this did help in mitigating, at least to some degree, any serious addiction withdrawal symptoms :D.

 

Warm regards,

The FPN Admin Team

 

 

Firstly, thank you for your hard work.

 

Secondly, no, this didn't help. I stalked the forum over at the Geeks where other refugees were hanging out to try and get some news. I couldn't see the maintenance screen of which you speak.

 

Finally, thank you again for all you've done to restore our addiction. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

 

P.

Lots of wants, limited funds!

Hi to all concerned, Very pleased to see the FPN forum back today, 1 June '12. As others have said above, all the work to keep this going is very much appreciated, it's a very interesting and useful site, and keeps a great many people of similar minds and interests, in touch.

      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
