I would join if I was a junior, but I'm graduating this year, and animation probably isnt the career for me, so I dont think I'll join. However, one thing that I saw an animation forum do is little competitions. For instance, one would post a picture(whether a photo or hand drawn, it could be anything), and it would be everyone else's job to model it/recreate the picture in 3d. I tried starting something like that here actually around the time school started but it kind of failed miserably, suneet was the only one to do it i think(although his was pretty cool). If you want to check it out just look way back in the animation forum archives or something. I just thought this is a cool way for people to improve their skills as the point of the competition would not really be to show off your skill it would be for people to critique your work and give you tips as to how to improve it.
