    If you've been contributing to this fine community of ours for at least ONE YEAR, and you would really like to become a supporting member, but can't afford the $25.... EMAIL ME . I will randomly select one member and "sponsor" you for one year. What's the catch???? None! I'll consider all EMAIL received by Saturday, 27th of Sept. I will throw your names in a hat and pull one out. (Sorry, I can only sponsor one member /year). I will sponsor you for ONE YEAR ONLY. How can you repay my kindness? ;)---Hopefully, you'll find a way to continue to support Talkbass when your renewal comes due. I'll do this again next year for another member. That's all folks!

    ...oh, and btw, great idea Xavier, even if i dont win, its so nice of you to do that. thanks a bunch.

    wow man, quite the philanthropist arent you?

    thats awesome though. i would send an email but i can easily afford one (if ill just make time to get a money order and send it =\ ) and im sure there are others that really need it. cool deal though man.

    know what would be even uber-er? send paul 25 and tell him to send you the free shirt or whatever, that way you get something in return. :)

    As a matter of fact, that's what I was originally going to do (send Paul another $25 and get a T).... I get a lot out of this site, and Paul does such a wonderful job running it - I was going to send some more $$ in appreciation of his effort. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a T large enough to fit me, and anyways, if I can send $20 to Paul, and help a TB'er at the same time... hey! Maybe, one day, the person I "sponsor" will turn around and do the same for someone else.

    Talk about a nice guy! Viva Mr.X!

    And Defeldus, it's very cool from you to leave the chance to another. You could have applied for this, but you didn't since you can afford it yourself. Cheers man!

    Not a bad deal! More people should follow your generosity...Heck, I'll support someone unable to cough up the dough. And they can even keep the free shirt to go with it! I already have one.

    (Not to step on your toes by any means X, it's just a very good idea, anything to make TB a better place!)

    And your 100% right, Paul does a GREAT job with this site !

    Well, welcome aboard! I propose that anyone interested in taking advantage of these offers send email to me (just to keep it simple), and I can pull 2 names out of the hat on the 27th and pass one on to you. How's that sound?

    I can afford the money, but I don't have the means to pay for it (parents don't want anything to do with online spending and wouldn't want me sending money to someone else to sign up for me) so I'm in. Thanks Xavier, that's a really nice thing to do.

    no, I didn't....if you got your name changed, it doesn't reregister, unless you made a new account to do it in which case that is silly because paul can just change your name.
