You have made 16 posts. If you want to change your display name, I would recommend that you create a new account. In order to have permissions to change your display name, you need to be a VIP account, and in order to get a VIP account, you need to donate 50BTC, or about $2.6 million at current prices (when this was first offered the price of bitcoin was much lower). Sometimes the forum administration will change your display name at the request of a forum member if they have a compelling reason. I believe that in the past, compelling reasons would include being potentially doxed based on your current display name, being a prominent forum member, making substantial contributions to the community, and similar.

They need to reconsider vip status price lmao, 0.1 BTC would be good at current prices tbh

I believe a VIP membership cost around $50 or so when it was originally made available. To make the cost consistent in dollar terms, the price would need to be well below 0.1 BTC ($5,900).

Theymos has said in the past, that he does not intend to lower the cost of VIP and donator accounts. This means for all intents and purposes, no one else will ever purchase a VIP or donator account from the forum. Theymos has said that he may create additional paid memberships in the future. The Copper Membership account costs about $35, and the cost is periodically adjusted for the price of bitcoin.

Maybe a new paid membership that costs a few hundred dollars will allow users to change their forum handle every so often.
