This place was a godsend to me in the early and mid-2000s--gracias, Simon! I was wild about flamenco guitar, and our local scene was poor. Being able to hang out with other aficionados from all across the world led me to explore artists I'd never have heard about, and push myself as a player to try to keep up. I even got to go to private peña with Kate in Granada. Being able to rub elbows with advanced players like Ricardo and Grisha and Todd was a lot of fun, too. There was a good feeling, hanging out with Simon and Ron and Jon and gerundino, etc. It was only partly about the music. That being said, when I started to get more into other styles, and my interest in flamenco waned (but never completely!), I guess it was only natural to feel less in common with the newer breed of foro-ites and spend less time here. However, compared to the social media style of discussion, I think I'll always prefer forums. The ephemerality of social media, how the posts disappear into the air like small talk in a coffee shop, does not appeal to me.
