Fountain Pens forum

[HyperCamper]

I've been a member of FPN for a long time and have found the people over there just as helpful as the members of B&B. I decided to spend less time there because of the serious case of AD I developed and found another AD right here... Be that as it may, I like the idea of fountain pen related subforum and voted in favour of it! I also like the suggestion "The Write Stuff" for a name for that forum.

We have 5 "no" votes- Just curious, what's the perceived downside?

I was going to vote yes, untill I saw all the silly names proposed to be inflicted on the new subforum.

Pen Station

Stilus?

Ink Floyd.

The Write Stuff.

The Ink Well

The Quill

Pendamonium.

Mightier than the sword?

... then again, anything to get these pen geeks out of my haberdashery. "Hell Yes" it is.

 

[Isaac]

I voted yes a few days ago. I never see sharing what you love as a bad thing. I dont think it shoudl be limited to just one forum

 

[instpasr]

Perhaps we should name it the haberdashery so Doc4 will feel at home when he lurks

Call it the "Pen 15" club. Members get a free tattoo.

Let's make that "Pen 51"...

I decided not to quote all of you, because that's what I would have to do, since I agree with so many of you. I'm also a member at FPN, but didn't get the comraderie there that I enjoy here. Also, since Brian brought it up, and since Brian has most likely "encouraged" so many of us, like me, to start down the path leading to serious FPAD, I vote he be a Mod or Steward in the new forum, and it should be called a name that reflects the blending of fountain pen and shaving interests under Brian's watch:

​

"PenHooligans"

Better not let Ian see that one.

Looks like I'm too late anyway. Oh well.....

I don't spend nearly enough money on Fountain Pens! I need more enabling.

A little pen porn?

Thats purdy

 

[rickboone1]

I voted no, but doesn't matter because there's already one here. I've not noticed the flames at FPN myself. Oh, well. Here we is.

 

[The Knize]

I am late to the party! Glad this is a hit!

I tend to say out of the Speakeasy forum anyway, as I seem to have a consuming interest in wine and spirits, and sure do not need any encouragement! (That goes 10x for the Brown Leaf forum.) Not sure the Nib Forum could make my FPAD any worse. It is pretty bad, and my ink AD worse. And I blame you BrianW!

He got a real purdy pen, ain't he?

 

[pal]

I like the idea.
