What about the little rockets? Do you need icons for that? Or will they disappear? They mess up some avatars, i think.

 

I don't understand what they mean anyway.

My other pen is a Montblanc.

There are 15 possible ranks.  You're at rank 13.  The "name" associated with rank 13 is "Ancient Artifact".

 

You can find further discussion here:

Including a post by A Smug Dill which links to this thread:

Wherein Wim posted a graphic which shows all the ranks and the post counts required to attain said ranks.

@wimg So sorry to hear about the health issues but so glad to here that you're getting better! I hope you are able to divvy up the site maintenance work among a few folks so all the burden doesn't rest on you. Please take care of yourself and have a great holiday season!

This was my fear.  So glad you're back.  Please take care of yourself, even if it means slower responses to FPN issues!

I agree with LizEF.  Take good care of yourself. We are lucky to have this forum. I tried Fountain Pen Geeks several years ago, but like FPN more.

@wimg Glad you have made a successful recovery.

Health is wealth and a slower pace is a sensible approach.

 

Kindly consider distributing the workload among willing/eager members.

 

Thank you for all your effort and time dedicated to updating/running this oasis.

 

P.S  I have been out of the loop for the last few months.

      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

      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
