I doubt it. To be fair, though, your account is from the end of September and has 40 posts. It's not like creating a new account would be too big of a deal, right?  :)

i think if you have reputation you can ask a moderator to change it

I doubt that they would let you change your username. People build reputation and are identified by their username.

Moderators can't do it.
Try to pm theymos (admin).

You can ask Theymos in Meta when you can post there. Just post what you want it to be. Don't count on it for a while though.  He has his hands full with the recent attack.

I do not think that it is possible to change the name. But it is allowed to have several accounts: you can create a new one.

Well, creating a new account is easier for you since your account isn't quite long. But the registration is closed now so can't really help you.

If registration is closed. Then send a message to the site owner "theymos" with a quick research of the forums this question has been asked numerous amount of times and is possible if you message him.

Registration was disabled after the forum hack, and theymos hasn't turned it back on yet.

Ok, thank you.

My old account got hacked so I had to make a new one. I've made this account after the forum came back online so registration is possible.

Not possible any more, you can try clicking on the register link.
