Afaik only vip and donator can change usernames you can maybe try to ask theymos but the chance that he will grant the request is very low.

Why you have so many gaps in your posts did you bought the account?

theymos...? Like the legendary theymos on reddit, the same person :-)?

Gap you mean between posts? Just wasnt paying a lot of attention during the "boring" period of BTC (2014-2016 :-) ).

I highly doubt that you can change your username but you can always ask the mods assuming that you prove ownership of the account and they see the account wasn't hacked or something.That's why it's good to have a decent post history because if you don't post for too long it may become an issue later

Yes, theymos is the same person, administrator of bitcointalk and moderator of r/bitcoin.

Coming back to the question, If you want to change your username, then you need to get donator tag by paying 10 BTC = 27,820 USD as of now.
If you are that rich to change your username on a forum, go on !  :D

Nope I don't think you can change your username on these forums but I think you can request or ask Theymos but I doubt he'll read it, it probably would be the least of his problems here in bitcointalk. Just saying though.
