Both ideas are great: a posthumous hall of fame, and a life-contributor award.

John Conley also comes to mind in the first category.

As to the second, I just received a nice 50-year member pin from the American Federation of Musicians. This sort of recognition is inexpensive but is still a nice touch. However, it displayed how difficult something like this is to manage, because I’ve actually been in the union 52 years. The first two locals I joined lost their records.

I originally bought BIAB in a retail store (Sam Ash in New York City) about 1994. It was another year or two before I had any interaction with PG Music, when I joined the first user forum (not this one, which was re-created in summer 2000). My point is that PG Music would have no record of the fact I was a user for a few years prior.

Some have also suggested that the names of beta testers be recognized somewhere (although I can see a downside to doing this).

Still, I hope someone in Support can work on these ideas.
