Going green

I kinda want to go Green with my membership... but I'd like to know what you guys think. Is it worth it?

I have no idea.

I have been interested in 'Going Green' for a while too, but it seems impossible to do unless you use that "Pay Pal" thingie... I asked for other options but never received an answer.

Oui..Si...Da...Yep

I just went Green a few days ago. I decided to do so because I value the educational, informative and entertaining nature of the site. So, I want to help forum succeed for my own selfish purposes.

I went green about as soon as Craig offered the option. I think it is really good to support the site. Plus you get a bigger avatar, and can pick your own title, so there is a certain ego advantage. Do it.

I really went green because of the avatar/ title and I really want to support this website because it really is something that I am apart of and I get a lot of help from fencers here. Plus the green is kool

It doesn't happen automatically--you have to go to the "subscriptions" page of your profile and check that you want to be id'd as a Gogreen member.
