Nah, I'm too lazy to start my forums. Macro is very interesting, but be warned - it's addictive!
As to POTN, was a member of those forums for several years, but idiot mods and an idiot owner made me disinclined to stay a member and I gave cheek to them (and they deserved every single bit as well imho) and got perm banned. Happy to be rid of that mob. I know pretty much all the major macro photographers on POTN, some very talented guys there.
Cheapest way to start macro is tubes and a 50mm f1.8 lens. That said, you don't really need a 50mm f1.8, a 35-70 etc zoom will suffice. Oh, and you'll need a flash gun as well. Yes, you can use the in built one, but it is far more restrictive. You can pick up dedicated macro lenses for not too much these days. Be patient - macro takes a *lot* of practice to get right. I make these images look easy to get I think you'll find.

Those guys and gals are nuts at macro...
