    Good idea. Japanese and Chinese ones would be good.

    I would implement an "Asian Pens" forum and a "German Pens" and maybe an "American Pens" forum, and then I`d scrap the "Brand focus" forum. I just do not like that there`s are subsections (Montblanc, Lamy, etc.) in a subsection (Brand focus).

    I also would like to have a section for Japanese pens or Asian pens in general. I would like to see more of these pens discussed on the forums.

    Good ideas. I'd separate Japanese and Chinese pens and maybe add Indian pens.

    Ok, I apologize for not getting the forum created when I said I would. Can anyone come up with some more interesting than "Asian Pens" for the name of the forum?

    I like where this is going. Keep it up! In the mean time, I'll go ahead and create the forum and rename it later when we decide on something we like.

    I still think that Chinese and Japanese pens do not belong in the same forum. Sailor vs Jinhao?

    The discussion for how the forums are arranged is always open. Lets keep this thread focused on coming up with a name for the new Asian pen forum. If you would like to start a general discussion about how the forum is laid out please start a new topic in Site Feedback.
