In years to come people will ask (yes, I am old)-

- where were you when you heard that JFK had been assassinated,

- where were you when man first walked on the moon,

- where were you when FPN was offline for two days.

 

Three incidents that affected the world!

Good to see it is back. When it was down, I realized my little addiction to the site.

Thanks for bringing it back up relatively quick.

What everybody else said! Very happy that I can get my FPN fix again. I was definitely at a loss as to what to do before getting to work for the day when I couldn't access FPN and see what was happening in the real world. :D I think I played solitaire instead..... :P

 

Thank you for getting it fixed, Wim, and glad it was such an easy fix - 30 seconds to relieve us all of our withdrawal pains!

Thanks for all your hard work, Wim! When FPN was down, I was forced (shudder) to go to other FP sites to get my fix...but now everything is back to normal!

It looks like we were down for about 34 hours in total, if I calculated it correctly. :D

 

Warm regards, Wim

And in those 34 hours a lot of people like me realized how much we appreciate your work!

      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
