Thanks for the well thought out replies @Bailey Nevener, @Paul aka Aurbano, and @Jason Hoskins. Much appreciated and your thoughts helped me pull the trigger on a lifetime membership.
I'm interested in contributing to the community in a meaningful way and I'm not yet sure what to do. I've learned through joining clubs in the past that the more you get involved the more you'll get out of being a part of it and the more fun you'll have along the way.
For now, I'm observing, reading, and learning from all the talent here. Perhaps I'll find an opportunity to contribute soon. If you guys have any good ideas but not the time to implement them let me know.
