So I saw the post on joining the group, I clicked the button and I get a 403 error,  and am not able to get it to switch to pending status - is this broken, or am I missing something?

Hi,
 
Are you referring to this post and these instructions? 
 
http://forums.evga.com/How-to-apply-for-the-EVGA-Marketplace-m2461976.aspx 
 
1.  From any page on the EVGA Forum, locate the "Menu" found under the search field.
2.  Click on the "Menu" link and it will provide you with a drop down.
3.  From the drop down, click on "User Groups"
4.  The page will load and you will see "EVGA Marketplace"
5.  If you have met the requirements, there will be a "Join Group" link.  If you do not meet the requirements, then that section will be blank.
 
If so, did you get the error after clicking on "Join Group"?  If so, please email me the details so our programming team can check.  My email is rbaca@evga.com.
 
Thanks,
Rob

Hello chaosminionx,
 
Your request to join the Marketplace was received yesterday.  These requests are usually approved within 1-2 days since we have to review the request and make sure the account is in good standing.  I have gone ahead and approved your request and you should now be able to access the EVGA Marketplace.   Any further issues, please let me or Rob know.  
 
Thanks,
_Eddie

Thanks guys! I ended up getting the join button to work from my phone, for some reason my desktop browser was giving a 403 error.
