One thing I’ve thought about quite a bit recently, but of course have done nothing about, is that it may be appropriate for the Foro to set up a Patron account or something similar.
It would be nice if people could donate a token of appreciation say, when Ricardo donates his time towards teaching and selflessly sharing his knowledge, or when you post some video gem of Flamenco history, or when someone benefits from the tips shared in the Lutherie section, and so on. Some of the discussions that occur on here are priceless, some maybe not so much, lol, but there’s no doubt the Foro is a valuable resource to many.
It could be left to Simon’s discretion what to do with the funds, for all I care he could keep every penny to himself, it’s not like he hasn’t earned it. Or it could fund gatherings in Spain once the pandemic has passed, or be charitably passed along to good flamenco related causes. Whatever combination works, as Simon sees fit. The point not being so much about the money or how it is used as much as to allow members and others who benefit from the Foro to show some level of financial recognition.
I’m not very knowledgeable about how the mechanics of such an undertaking would play out, but maybe other members might have some ideas.
