We received word from pencil Hero Doug Martin that the Classifieds on the Pencil Pages are up and spam-free:
“I would like to let your visitors know that I have taken measures to reduce the spam entries at The Pencil Pages classifieds. Over the past several months the pages were hit with large postings that crowded out the legitimate posts, and a number of my visitors have complained. As a result, some people may have stopped using them. The spammers may hit again, but I now have the ability to tweak my filters and fight back. Also, some may have noticed that The Pencil Pages haven’t changed very much in a long time. Updates are in the works…..”
If, for some mysterious reason, you haven’t been to Doug’s Pencil Pages, you owe it to yourself to check it out. It is — by far — the most comprehensive pencil site on the internet, and one of the oldest (if not the oldest). The classifieds are a great place to find rare or antique pencils, and to share yours, too. Check out the Classifieds here.
I love the classifieds there, but I’ve never been able to tell which are expired, so to speak.
