I want my user name changed

As April pointed out, the $25 is not for the user name change...it is for the membership level that includes that option (along with editing, bumping ads, highlighting ads, and a few other other things). If you don't want to upgrade your membership, that's your choice - we're not going to twist your arm...but we're also not going to give you the perks of paid membership for free.

Actually, no, I don't, all things considered. Considering what this site offers, mostly for free, I think $25 is a bargain just to help insure that it sticks around for you and others to use.

Sorry, but that is the policy here. It's a perk of paid memberships. If it is not acceptable to you, then I'm afraid you will just have to do without. If I made an exception for you, then why would I not have to make the same exception for everyone else who asks?

I was kidding rich....My real name is stavros. I just watch Psych way to much

And $25 dollars....is not steep for the perks and benefits that as a breeder and business can benefit from. Lucky he aint asking for an all around membership fee. People are making money off what this webpage is offering. The networking alone is worth the donation....not even speaking about the knowledge and help from other members.

That's a good show!

I'm sorry for the upset I have cause, it wasn't my intentions. Rich isn't a bad guy, he has expenses just like all of us and site bills are outrageous. I do want to leave y'all a little something to chew on though. What about people just starting out in this industry who don't have money to shell out like that?

It is a really small amount of money for a huge benefit. But if you don't have it, you don't have to have a custom tailored username just starting out.

If you are honest. hardworking, and provide good customer service, you'll get customers.
Some people think they have to have bells and whistles and gold edged business cards. The entitlement generation. You don't need any of that to succeed. Hard work, a little luck, and good customer service

Then they keep the user name they registered....but please stop with the silly/lame excuse. If you don't want to pay $25, don't. The whole money being tight, lousy economy line is a load of crap. It's $25 dollars - a fraction of the cost of animals people are buying...and, if you've got a business name but can't afford $25 to advertise it, how are you going to afford the cost of doing business?

I'd think that having the coins next to your name (as a contributing member) would inspire confidence in your professional standing and help your business.

You are so right........... so where are your coins?
