Given the nonsense that has gone one over there, what do people expect? Believe it or not, FPN was initially a very fun, very welcoming, super friendly place, with great management and uncensored yet very civil discourse. I am glad I joined it back in the day. I do wish I had left after my first post though, one thanking the members and forum for providing very helpful information. It wasn't long after that the place went off the tracks.
Reddit /r/fountainpens/ is now the largest fountain pen forum by far, and FPGeeks is still here. There are tons of pen-related YouTube videos, and a huge amount of pen content on various social media websites. FPN is now a minor part of the overall pen scene, and not worth worrying about. If it is sterile, then at least it won't give you coronavirus. The online pen community no longer has any one center, and is the better for it.
