Call me a pen-turning gad-fly. [;)] I visit them all. I figure since other people are doing all the work, I will bounce around and see what there is to be learned. Anyway, maybe someone, somewhere, will have a drawing/contest that I might win! [B)]
 
I always turn in here.

Well I was going to resist posting to this thread[V]

In my most humble opinion I feel it is bad manners to try and recruit members to another site that has split off from the first. Over the years I have been on few groups of one kind or another and this happens once in a while, it's never fun or comfortable. I'm not taking sides and don't know who's right or wrong, don't care, just think it's poor manners.
 
Makes no difference to me. Something to be learned from everywhere. Trouble is, I already spend time reading when I should be turning[:D]. Think I'll pass.
 
Dan,

I think your new group is valuable in that it contains some very specific technical areas that get lost in the sawdust of the other existing fora (forums).

Geez, maybe now someone will start a flame on pluralization. [;)] If you do, please be polite...thank you.

I guess I realy don't understand. It's not like anyone is trying to steal people away for them to never come back. What RTJW posted is not even his own forum and I think dfurlano is a high mucky-muck (no offence intended) of the one he had posted. If these sites were here for the money I could see that, but we are all here for the information contained within. Loyaly to a particular site is understandable, but each site has information that the other doesn't and that is what we are here for. I visit multiple sites and and would never hold anyone back or view them differently because they visit other sites.
 
Personally, I appreciate people advising us of alternative sources of information. No two sites are exactly alike and there will certainly be things to be learned from each of them. Every site has a different suite of members and a different slant on the craft. I don't think I would want to see the day when there were 20 sites competing for pen crafters time; but having a half dozen or so allows for a little variety and difference of perspective that can't help but be good for the craft. Just my 2¢.
 
Because of conflicts of interest. I will no longer be a member of the site I referenced here. I have asked Jeff to delete my post here so that I am not mistaken to be a part of that site.

That is what you said about this site Johnny.

BTW - This thread is not locked (anymore)
 
The one thing I like about this site is that everyone is willing to share information of all kinds. A website is like a magazine or book. You might not like the author, but hey, information is information. I appreciate people giving information....I would hate to miss out on something....I would hate to think that some people would rather not have the information listed and others make the choice about visiting the site....because that would be a snobbish.....
 
To those who tied to join the site I guess I screwed something up so no one can join, too many buttons in the admin panel for my simple mind. I am traveling today but will look into it tonight.

Dan.

This thread was never locked as far as I know as a moderator.

I think the thread "appeared" to be locked because the time limit for editing/deleting had expired. On some(at least one) of the forums the time limit is only 30 minutes!!

I couldn't believe you was a member of that site when I saw the names of some of the other members. I know you don't get along with certain ones.

Just because you don't get along with someone, doesn't mean you can't learn from them. eagle and I crossed swords more than once; but I did learn some useful information from him about pencrtafting and I would like to think he learned a few things from me. If we all had to restrict our visits to boards where we got along with everyone, there would be precious few members on any Internet boards.[^]

Yes, Johnny even posted it on his own forum. Aren't we here to share information? If there is an inter-forum going on, I haven't read about it in the sports pages. [;)]
 
I've got an idea. Let's give the different forums political labels! That way people can belong to one or the other, and loudly proclaim that "their" forum is the only one that has the right ideas! So, TPS is based out of Texas, a liberal hot spot, Turn With Us is new and small, a perfect Ross Perot third party turning site. I think I have really hit on something here, what does everyone think? [;)]

Liberal? Not even close.
 
I don't understand what the big deal is. So some people belong to more than one site. It's not like we are cheating. Whats wrong with looking for as much info as we can.

also, I like to think William was being sarcastic,,,,,,,,,,,,,weren't you William?
