Sorry if I've done something wrong, or this has already been suggested

Ok, so this is my idea...

We introduce a pen spinning subforum into the Sports Coliseum
simple enough I think

What is penspinning, I hear you ask?

Penspinning is... spinning Pens... ^^ for personal achievement or competetive reasons
It includes tricks and stunts involving pens, and is really impressive and something to show off with
It is recognised as a sport in many countries, including England, America, Japan, China, and many more
Many people penspin, not everyone incredibly seriously, but it's done all over the world
It's a great way to focus attention and skill, Is a great boredom buster at work or school, or even when you are browsing the forums you can be spinning a pen in one hand

I am an avid penspinner myself, and It would be nice to meet people at JSP with a similar interest

So why penspinning?

I'm sure hundreds and thousands of JSP users are into this sort of thing, I have talked to a few and would be interested to meet more
People could tutor others, I would be happy to help people with tricks myself
People can share tricks, and as many new tricks and combos are being developed all the time, it would be great to have updates on new events worldwide, right here on this lovely forum
Can't perform a trick? post on the forums and help each other!
It is scientifically proven to raise dexterity in the fingers, so it's good for you and will improve your typing speeds for sure ^^
The ability to spin a pen masterfully is a great feeling

If you arn't swayed yet by just how awesome pen spinning can become, heres a video of just some of the best spinners in the world

Please explain your choice, good or bad, w/e

Even If I've enlightened one or two of you into how useful, fun, and awesome looking pen spinning can be, that's a start

I think it would be pretty cool

I've always wanted to be able to learn how to do some tricks for when I'm sat waiting and bored

Think this would be a great way to learn, so yes

My friend taught me a basic pen spinning trick in like 8th grade and I have been doing it ever since (in college now)

Anyways, I really don't see many people using that forum..

did you just dismiss it because you were unfamiliar with the concept?

most people do

thats exactly what I'm hoping to change
