Help me help a friend.

Community member basj

I know when the last 'help a member' post was put up that WC didn't want it to become commonplace, however, a good friend of mine and a great artist (basj) is in a bit of a bad position and I could not live with myself If I didn't do everything I could to help him out.

I'll keep it short, Ive posted an article on Maxstyles about it and will not make a big deal of it here on WC, If you could, stop by, have a read and bless you if you can be of any assistance at all.. even just verbally would help.

My sincerest thanks,  :)

Monty, if you send a note with it, John has said it will get to him.

You could, but it would probably be just as easy to send straight to his account at the address that I listed in the aritcle, that way there isnt two sets of xfer fees attached... either way, it will get to him.

Thank you ALMonty and everyone else.

I had no idea how long Basj has been around til vStyler showed me some ancient WB skins he had done. ;) 

Seems like Wincustomize has a candidate for Master here. ;) 

Also,Basj has a WB for sale at Maxstyles so buying that is as good as donating...and you get a cool WB skin. ;)

That sounds a bit off topic :LOL:

And a great WB skin it is. Well worth the $4.95 you pay for it not to mention being able to complete the set by using it with all the free matching stuff he posted here on Wincustomize. :CONGRAT:

You are a good man John.


I agree.... I am having paypal problems, so I bought the Glass Max skin, even though I had bought it before. Small help, I know, but I had to do something. Not much as I have been unemployed for the past 3 years myself.


I second the vote that Basj be nominated for master status.

Well...I'm going through some really rough times myself and I already bought the EzMAx skin...Soooo....if anyone here would like it that can't afford it...the first person to find my email on this site and send me an email I'll buy it for you to help Basj out.



And as a personal note to Basj. Basj buddy...I really wish I could do more to help you out...but I just had some health problem rear it's ugly head at me which resulted in losing a job as a result of the health problem...and then I went from spending $300 a month on gas at my second job to $900 a month and that on top of the medical bills piling up and having to pay out of pocket for my medication plus my basic bills is killing me. And the way things are going I may be having to take a break myself soon if things don't start getting better.


And Basj...Your skins are just as good as anyone else's here...it has nothing to do with anything but everyone struggling with money right now...not with your talent...this is just not something you should count on for an income...a paying hobby yes...but an income to support a family...I'd so no. I can't imagine how hard it is in your home country to find work....but I really hope something materializes for you soon. And if there's any other way I can find a few extra bucks to throw your way I will. ;)

Oh....and I agree on the Master skinner consideration ! ;)

There are some very good folks here.. some behind the scenes.. some not.. just know.. your all appreciated.

I understand everyone is probably going thru a hard time right now.. myself not withstanding.. but believe me, even when you are down.. helping someone worthy is a great way of doing something good for yourself too.

Thank you
