Many other sites (like DAZ for example) allow you to change your forum name for free and there is no human labor involved. I'd like to change my name on the forums here, but I'm not about to pay for it just because renderosity happens to have a suboptimal site setup.

Edited to add, I suppose it'd be possible to transfer my gift certificates to another account by buying a gift certificate with them. Assuming of course that creating multiple accounts isn't prohibited by the TOS here.
