Fpn Highest Ranked (Fountain) Pen Site Worldwide!

Recommended Posts

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 :D, 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, Wim

on 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

No surprise. I always had good tastes. (and humility)

Well it is nice to belong to a successful forum. Congratulations to all who make it number one.

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,

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.

I'd like to think that I had no small part in the success of this forum. No large part, either. Don't spill your wine.

I was just going to say congratulations, but on second thought, I think Sasha said it better :)

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
