I kid. I was advised of the crash at Pen Posse. LE HORROR!

 

Glad everything's all set to rights again. Good job, admins and mods! Rock on.

 

Ironically, I didn't even know about it at first -- I had a bunch of stuff to do Wednesday morning before going to an auction that looked as if there would be PENS -- and then spent half of that talking to a friend on the phone (she was originally wanting to go to the auction with me, but then a friend of her family died and the viewing was the same time as the auction).

Around 2 pm, just before leaving my house, I did a quick log in to catch up on email and there was a message from Pharmacist (of all people) asking me if there was a problem with FPN -- he hadn't been able to connect. I was like "What? Huh? I dunno..." but tried opening another window and of course got the "server stopped responding" error message". Things had been a tad flaky Tuesday night, but I had just chalked it up to "What key did you step on THIS time, cat?" because it wasn't just FPN I was having problems with (I kept having windows lose the URL box at the top).

I'll admit that I was ALSO going through withdrawal by last night (although FPGeeks blogging about it, and reading the responses, helped a bit....

So add a plus (whatever number it is at this point) to the admin folks for getting everything fixed with a minimum of lost posts. :notworthy1: My husband is a software developer and I know what he goes through sometimes (he was complaining last night that he's probably going to have to do some work this weekend because he's got a big deadline coming up on Monday, and just found out that his IT dept. configured his work-issued laptop wrong...).

With FPN down, I felt a little like Gollum... "We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us." Thanks for the extra effort Admins!

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.

 

I think you are a little confused. This thread is a year old as is the post you responded to. I have seen nothing official on this thread about the extended downtime.

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 ;)

 

Seriously. My personal forum's server crashed and burned a few months back. I can only imagine the frustration with a forum this large.

 

Thanks for all your hard work!

There was a crash?

 

I am surprised to hear that the crash was over the weekend. I have not been able to connect to FPN for the last two days. Was there a second crash?

      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
