Watch for the latest posting of new online ads within a few days.
The next pen pal newsletter is September, issue #46. It has an ad deadline of Sept. 15th. We anticipate this newsletter will be completed around the end of September. Copies may be ordered in advance for $6 US.
** Please Do Not Deep Link This Site **
The online pen pal ads pages have been moved again to a new location. I did
this in an effort to reduce spam for the email addresses in the ads. This
change should not be noticable if you go into the ads from our main page.
However, if you have been deep linking the ads pages, either from bookmarks,
search engines, or some other site, you won't be able to reach them directly.
You'll have to go to them by going to our main page first. The location of
the ads pages is subject to change frequently.
These web addresses all go to essentially the same web page & info. If you have trouble with one of them, try another one...
www.gaypenpals.com, www.gaypenpals.net, www.gaypenpals.org
www.planetgay.net, www.gayjock.com, www.hestrips.com
www.friendlypenpals.com, www.friendlypenpalservice.com
We have recently moved. Our new address is..
Friendly Penpal Service
Box 234
Sierra Madre, Calif. 91025 USA
(We will continue to check our old P.O. Box address in Tujunga, Calif., for some time to come. However, we only check the old address infrequently)
There is often a backup of ads which have been submitted to the web page, since I am the only one who maintains these pages, and I am often overwhelmed with other work. Please remember that these services cost us money and time to maintain. If you submitted an ad, but it has not appeared here yet, please be patient.
We run automated software for the pen pal ad submissions. The software sends an acknowledging email message back to the address given in the ad submission. Occasionally the email returns to us as undeliverable, and I have been considering the ad submission bogus in that case. Now I am not so sure. Apparently, hotmail.com, maybe others, occasionally doesn't work, or for various reasons returns email back to us marked undeliverable. (This seems to be more of a problem for free email services.) This happened recently with a returned message marked "fatal error". Yet, this person later submitted an ad to us using the same address, and the email went through. If you have sent us email, or submitted an ad and received no response at all, please verify your email is working and resubmit. When ads are submitted, our software always sends a return email message. If you did not receive our automated email message in response to your ad submission (using our online form), there is a problem with your email. When we receive email, we usually reply to it within a few days (unless it is spam).
I am still running the free pen pal and dating matchmaker page open to all at http://www.coolfriend.net . Drop on by.
