OK then - let's nominate someone to gather addresses & do some name pulling for the first month.....

Who'd like to organise the first month?
I don't mind going first - we could even take it in turns to do this little job too - maybe an admin could make a new forum, or a sticky for a Penpal club?

Thoughts.... ?

surely all we need is someone to gather the names and then post a list of pairs, and then each pair can just pm each other for address, so your only giving your address directly to the person you'll be writing too

ok first off.. remember you give your address out to strangers at your own risk

next - I'm not taking part but can sort out pairing for people if you want

is it worth having a rule that you have to have say 50 or more post on the forum before you can take part.
that way your not giving your address to someone who signs up and then disappears. if they've got so many posts on the forum then they've been about for a while and are kinda known.


just an idea...

either way i'm keen to get started :)

I like this idea, if you end up doing this then I'm in too :)

Missy - my baby (9months now) was also over his 'due' date! Hope you don't have to wait too long!

Really looking forward to this, but don't think I can organise it as I am only just getting the hang of computers, but I am very good with paper and pen! pbf

Well, I'm PMing Emma right now - it's about time we started!

Oh, by the way, I'm asking for a toyboy penpal - someone who looks a bit like a younger version of Johnny Depp, who lives a few miles from me, so I can hand deliver my letter early in the morning, just in time to see him emerging from the shower with glistening muscles....... oh, we don't have anyone like that on here do we?? :mrgreen:

Oh, well, anyone will be fine then!
