I've thought about it but have never got around to it. Being near London I might get more from it than Ken does (did).
If you have a look back through the PUF archives, some of our ?former members went for LRPS and produced some stunning images. ?Lilly (from Cornwall) produced some wonderful work.
Not everyone with letters after their name is a fraud...

I too have thought about it several times. The real benefit to me would be to give me an incentive to produce better images. I'd guess the benefits of membership would outway the price of the fees (at least initially).
If you're awarded an RPS qualification, I think the letters after your name might help in some circumstances but not necessarily others. When I last looked there seemed to be several organisations offering accreditation for professional photographers. I got the impression that a lot of these were based on how to run a business, rather than on photographic merit.

I did used to visit their website forum but found it quite an unfriendly place, wasn't much going on there either so don't bother with it now.

You're right about the website. Since this thread began a few days ago I've had a message from the RPS saying they are revamping it and asking me to fill in a questionaire about how good it is. I told them it was wasn't very good at all. The new one is due to be up and running by early 2013.I did used to visit their website forum but found it quite an unfriendly place, wasn't much going on there either so don't bother with it now.

Seriously worth a read if you've ever felt disappointed by not doing well in photo competitions etc. It's quite a skill navigating the hostile pride of uninformed people that their photo on Flickr maybe isn't actually all that great because the horizon is completely wonky.
