Title: How did TradeFortress change his name?

How did he change his name? Is it exclusive to VIPs? I know it's a different person, but how did he change his name?

VIPs can change their name on a whim.

Yea, it's one of the perks of being a VIP although it's considered more as a huge "thank you" to the forum.

VIPs can change their name themselves anytime they want to.
Others can ask theymos to change their names, and

Adding or removing text to/from a username is particularly likely to be accepted because it doesn't make it significantly easier for someone to scam. Your identity isn't really changed. I tend to ignore requests for complete username changes except from veteran members. (Even then, it's one of the lowest-priority requests I receive, so it can be forgotten. I have kind of a "leaky queue" for forum work -- if I don't get to a request in a couple of days, I usually drop it.)

You'd be surprised on how little theymos gets from this forum if you saw the numbers. 8)
