wimg Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Dearest Members and Visitors to our little Fountain Pen Nut house on the digital prairie, We are quite excited, because recently, on March 25 to be exact, FPN became the highest ranked (fountain) pen interest site worldwide, beating even the biggest brand name forums to the number one spot!Currently we are ranked around 32,000 worldwide, and around 13,000 in the USA, this of a total of over 30 million sites all over the world.Obviously ranking varies a little, on a day by day and seasonal basis, but so far the trend is holding . Considering we really are in a relatively narrow niche market, and considering where we came from almost 11 years ago now, I think this is truly amazing, even more so considering we broke through to the top 100,000 literally only 2 years ago, almost to the day! Not bad going for an entirely volunteer run site , and it would not have been possible without you, our active members! Therefore, congratulations to all, and thank you for your continued support! Warmest regards, Wimon behalf of the entire moderator and admin team P.S.: To continue help us grow, and to support us, use any of the options available here: FPN Support and Store the Mad Dutchman laugh a little, love a little, live a lot; laugh a lot, love a lot, live forever Link to post Share on other sites

stevesurf Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 A whole lot of credit goes to the behind-the-scenes people. Thanks to them all for making this a site we want to come back to again and again. Indeed! The tireless work that moderators and admins do is a pretty amazing labor of love. We have a little joke in our industry that it would be really difficult to get fired from a volunteer position, but here at FPN there is a tremendous commitment and standard held in light of a wide spectrum of culture and experience. Well done! Best regards,Steve SurfaroFountain Pen FunCities of the world (please visit my Facebook page for more albums)Paris | Venezia Link to post Share on other sites

Icywolfe Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I think it's because of the general topics. And you have people from other forums dumping people here. Like in WuS they dump the newer Fp people here to learn and you get a MB you can go back there. #Nope Link to post Share on other sites
