Q: I want to change my forum username. What should I do?
A: You can either donate 50 BTC to become a VIP or PM theymos asking to change your username (although he rarely accepts such requests nowadays).

Not to confuse with it but I guess simply "Donator" position didn't have a feature to manually change their usernames, I guess they still have to ask theymos regarding the matter, those that can change usernames are the VIPs that donated 50 BTC way back the early days of the forum. And one more thing VIPs are not just all donators of BTC but been titled as that for their contribution to bitcoin history and the community as well.

Maybe they didn't donate 50 BTC but were gifted the VIP status because of their contribution to Bitcoin and the forum.

Right. I posted about this somewhere when I did it.

IIRC MagicalTux also got VIP without paying 50 BTC because he contributed significant resources in other ways.
