Sure, times have changed since Donal Higgins created Pentrace 24 years ago. We had the largest pen forum in the world with over 10,000 message posts per month, several 100,000 views per month. That gave others reason to create their own pen chat sites and several have flourished. All well and good to the benefit of writing equipment enthusiasts.

Some of our faithful members that that have recently posted relevant information, such as David Silber, Jon Szanto, Art Ross, Jeff Schraeder, and many others, such as Norman Haase who rightfully has earned wearing a crown as HisNibs...bring relevance, news, topics and information we enjoy. Thank you so much and to others I may not have named.

We need more content. Some of us are getting older, may have issues that call our attention elsewhere at times but our passion remains.

So, whenever you have a bit of news, want to show a new or old pen, show us your collections, discuss some inks, discuss a pen show, pen club happenings, ask questions that I am positive at least 50 others may wonder the same but have not yet asked...please jump into the thick of it on the Message Board.

BTW, have you recently visited our Home Page? We do have a Home Page with hundreds of articles from over the years that are very worthy to visit.....reviews, reports, pen show reviews, short stories, poetry and articles by some of the best writers in our community.
Note, the sponsor links are remnant from years ago, they were most helpful for our growth and support so we determined to leave their names up as a perpetual thank you.

Thanks for being here, as for myself and everyone else that reads Pentrace, we thank you for your continued support ...look forward to your musing's, reports and whatever curious thoughts you may have.

Best regards to all and stay well.
