Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

  • What do you write with?

    I love love love nice pens.
    Some of my friends and family understand why I adore them and how I could spend so much money for a pen and others think I'm insane for spending so much on "just a pen" when "for a few cents a Bic would write just as well".

    What do you guys think? Any pen lovers or more specifically fountain pen lovers amongst you?

    What is your preferred writing instrument?

    Here are the pens I own... I'd have a lot more if I wasn't a poor student.




    *small correction... the Pelikan is the Souveran m200.

      Very nice selection Siggie.

      I love fountain pens. I love the way the pen lays down a bright bead of ink with the slightest pressure. I love the feel of quality paper, and the sound of the nib as I write, scratching ever so faintly. I love writing letters. I especially like getting letters back, which happens sometimes.


      I own about five pens, none of them particularly valuable.


      1 Namiki vanishing point (retractable)
      1 Montblanc Meisterstuck pen/pencil
      1 vintage Majestic in a brown 'ladder' lattice plastic, with a lever fill
      1 vintage Esterbrook lever-fill, black
      1 polished-brass Diplomat, that came with a matching pencil


      Plus a couple of cheap Sheaffers and Parkers, of the $5-$10 drugstore
      variety.


      I also have a couple of dip pens, which I have not really done much with.

        I appreciate your developed sensitivity and taste for quality!

        Also, how else could we scratch our Love's name on our arm?
        What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

          Man, I'll be lucky if I even have a pen. Right now, I got a Pilot G-2 07. I'll end up losing it tomorrow.

            If I were you, I would offer Siggie the most unique and unforgettable fountain pen, so she can...

                I used to lose pens a lot too... I haven't lost any of these because they're too special to forget. You're more careful with them because they are worth more. People don't tend to ask to borrow them either.

                    I have a monthblanc pen set, don't know the model, but I don't regularly use it.

                    I did use my cross (non-fountain) for about 7 years until it ran out of ink. How it lasted 7 years? I have no idea.
