jevans, i pretty much agree with every point you make regarding the case for the charges to change user names. And in my first post i did concede that renderosity had viable reasons for the charge. My concern is that this is the thin end of the 'charging for services', wedge and that before we know it we will be paying nominal and not so nominal fees for pretty much everything on the site. And, if it is done slowly, we probably wont even notice enough to be bothered.

Ok, maybe i'm way wide of the mark on this, i hope i am, but IF renderosity does go this way you can bet your runtime it won't be too long before other sites join in and another good thing is sacrificed on the temple of the almighty insert favorite currency here
