Just wanted to post a new thread introducing myself. I wouldn't say that I'm new to the hobby as I have been hobbying since about 2008, joined the site in... 2012, but only just recently started utilizing this website and all its resources and have found that there really is a larger playing field to be... uh.. played on? lol Anyway, I've noticed that a lot of verified, A+, super-awesome providers require references. In all my years with the hobby there was never really a need for such a thing. But I've found that I have been missing out on some great quality providers that pass through my town (El Paso) and would really like to not miss out any more. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how one might acquire a reference? All the providers who are reference friendly require references, so it seems really difficult to me, unless I'm missing something. Any and all help would be appreciated.
Glad to officially join the team!
