Want A Free Subscription To WC ?

Sate Your Case Here

My subscription is good til 2008. I wouldn't have had one at all if it weren't for the generosity of another WC member back in 2005. So, what I would like to do is offer up the subscription I won in the St. Patty's Day contest to someone who does not have a subscription at all.

Requirements...
1. You have to be a member, signed up prior to today's date (3/22/07) and not have a current subscription.

2. State your case here on why I should give you this subscription.

You have until noon tomorrow (3/23/07) to make your case, after which time I will pick one and announce it here by 7:00pm tomorrow night E.S.T.

EDIT - Also, whoever I pick will get the prize I was offered for the 'community poll' which is a Premium Suite (*Not a Master Suite) of their choice! You'll get to pick from one of the suites on this page WWW Link

Ok...at the risk of sounding beggish...I'll be the first to state
I DO NEED THE SUB!
My current subscription runs out on March 31st, and I am currently in a crunch, financially...doesn't mean I won't find a way to re-up my subscription sometime soon, but It won't be by the 31st, I know.
I will say, that if someone else, more deserving, or in more of a bind applies, Po', then by all means disregard my application. My only problem is that I'm having a hard time convincing my wife that I need my WC sub more than the family needs Peanut Butter.
I will say, in all honesty (rare) that should you decide to bestow the sub on me, then I, in turn will offer to purchase a sub for another member or future member, just as soon as the bill collectors quit sendin' cousin Guido over to the house for supper. Also, I will donate the Premium suite to someone more deserving.
There, the first "Can I please have your free WC subscription Po'?" post has been made, now...all the rest of you that would like to make Po's subscription yours...MAKE THIS THREAD GROW.
No matter the outcome, Po, I admire your work, your wit and your attitude...folks like you are why I constantly tell my students about the skinning community.

Make the add go away! It's slowing down the page load!

Great gesture!

I have been a member of ODNT for 7 years, but have never been able to afford both the ODNT and WinCustomize subscriptions. I would love to be considered for this offer.

And for what it is worth, Congrats to whomever is selected.

I'm a nonskinner who has both Object Desktop and Wincustomize subscriptions. I got them because I liked what I saw in both the products, skins and support from the members when you need help.   

Po's actions is just what will keep me and others coming back here.   

Lets see a show of hands, who want's a Po' Smedley day?

I would like to have the Subscription. I'm ALWAYS on and I keep having "You can't download this" problem every now and again. Also, does that include the SD software? Windowblinds' 60 day trial expired and I HATE reverting to the Windows skins... Also I can't buy it because I have no means of buying, otherwise I would have it by now.

Oh and if I win I don't want any Premium Skins, but thanks anyways. (Although I would LOVE to have the Utopia Icon set )

Nah...I don't need it...besides, giving me the sub would put you on Brad's number one hit list!

Don't forget:

I have no means of buying


Which means: I can't buy it! I want to, I just can't!

Cant = no money, or no method of providing money?

I have the money I just don't have a credit card (I'm only 15!), sending the money in slowmail is just that: SLOW, and I don't know how to use paypal with my bank account.
