My question is, why does the forum not have a feature that can allow members to reset their username easily, when ever they want.
Please read

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).
Chronologically, it was allowed since 2009 till 2011, in August 2011, change was made and since that timepoint, only moderators, donators, VIP members can change usernames by themselves. Other members have to contact theymos for username changes and it very barely was approved.

This policy lasted from 2011 till December 2019 or January 2020, when theymos began to change his policy again, and he more easily accepted username change requests. Around time when I made this thread.

From 2020 to 2025, it's more easily to get approvals from theymos than previous years.

Honestly, I forgot about this historic change and it's time for me to update Bitcointalk's historical important changes.
