Member login name changes - NOTICE!

Lately I have been getting a number of requests from members to change their registered login name for them. This is something only I, as admin, can do on this site.

Honestly, I wish I had the time to do everything everyone wants of me, but I only have so much time to go around.

So my choices are to either ignore such requests, or to charge some $$ for this service and the use of my time. I do hate it to sound like I'm being mercenary about it, but my time is valuable to me. So if you REALLY want to have your logon name here changed and you think it is worth me spending my time to do it for you, then perhaps a modest donation (but don't be TOO modest) will be in order. I think this is only fair, don't you?

Yes, I think that is fair...as long as it isn't a requirement.

But, now I'm confused. Why don't these people just register for another account?

For a short while after Rich did this for someone else and the possibility was brought to my attention, I considered asking to have mine changed to M surinamensis, since I use this on most other forums but decided against it because... Well, asking Rich would have been kind of a bother and registering it as a new name might have caused some problems for the moderation team because it *may* have looked as if I was skipping out on my warning points. Similarly but with directly opposite connotations other people might not want to lose their fauna donation icon or their post count and member status (And in my case, just decided that my full name made it easier so I could drop it from my signature).
