I want to take a moment to celebrate our community. Over the years this forum has grown into a vibrant gathering of mechanical pencil enthusiasts from all walks of life. You share your discoveries, your challenges, your favorites, your custom mods, etc. You ask questions, offer advice, and support one another with genuine enthusiasm. It is your passion and generosity that have turned Knockology into more than just a place to talk pencils. It has become a home for kindred spirits who understand why a simple tool can spark so much joy.
If you have been reading but have not yet signed up, now is the perfect time to jump in. Everyone here started somewhere and no one is ever too new or too “small” to add to the conversation. This is not like other forums where newcomers feel intimidated or overlooked. Here every voice matters and every question is welcomed. Don’t hesitate to create your own thread, share a photo of your latest haul, or ask for tips. Here you will find nothing but encouragement.
Because this community belongs to all of us, I am changing my username from Knockologist to Thomas. From now on, when you see a post from “Thomas,” you will know it is me—the person behind the post, not just a brand. All of us here, as members of this remarkable community, are the real Knockologists. Together we will continue to explore, learn, and celebrate the wonderful world of mechanical pencils.
Thank you for making this place what it is. I am excited for what comes next and I cannot wait to keep the conversations going.
See you in the threads,
Thomas
