Well, since I still feel a bit green as a shooter and as a member to the forums, i thought I would make it official. The deciding factor was the friendly and informative responses I received to some basic newb questions on the boards. One sometimes cringes when putting questions out there on forums when you are new. Often you get responses from basement trolls who just want to show how clever they are at making light of your lack of knowledge. However this was not the case at all here! Some stand up folks here. Which made me want to support and have access to being a full 'green' member.
