For me, I have the membership for several reasons:
1) It protects me in the unlikely event of something going wrong.
2) It gets me some discounts (thanks Shoreline and the sites who operate this, and Steve for making it happen).
3) I feel like I'm doing my bit to keep paintball well respected as a sport.
4) It makes for considerably less paperwork for running the paintball club within my University!
I know Steve doesn't make any money out of it, but I feel that I'm supporting him in his work in the industry.
So please, Steve, for the benefits of everyone who has your support (from this thread, and others) reconsider your decision.
