Donate 50tbc to the forum, or create a new account with the name you want.

It wasn't that expensive a couple years ago when the policy was created.  The powers decided not to change the donation amount to keep up with price changes.

Why is that?

[btckold24]

ouch 50 btc!!! wowsers I think at that point I would just deal with a name I dont like lol

[Vod]

Why is that?

I would assume to keep a fair playing field for those that had already donated.  How would you feel if you donated 50btc to get VIP status and then they lowered the price?

To preserve the glory from the people that donated back in the old days. Just kidding.
It was already discussed to have a "newer" VIP rank, to reduce the amount of BTC to be one, but have the same benefits but making easy to see if the person donated recently or in the past.

I'm afraid as it stands,  those of us who picked rubbish forum names are stuck with them

Still not sure if the "Donator" status allows name change or not, anyone knows about the "powers" of a Donator.
P.S: If you don't know yet, donators are people who Donated only 25 10(wonder when that happened, last I saw the donation page I think it was 25) BTC as opposed to 50 BTC for VIP
Seems it gives them only these powers

If you donate 10 BTC, you can get a special "Donator" title and a green "who's online" color. Both Donators and VIPs also get access to an exclusive forum section.

Wrong, Donator was 10BTC. Still is, but I don't know if anyone wants a green coin on the forum for over 3K bucks.

10 btc is worth about 4k $ now (price is rising)
But at the time as the forum started accepting donations it was worth about nearly nothing in comparison to the bitcoin price today. The forum then got more and more members and so they got more money through ad revenues. Now,they get enough money from the ad revenues that they wont need to accept donations anymore and it is not worth that effort for that small amount of money - that's why the donation price wasn't changed till now.

[helloeverybody]

They could do with lowering the donation amount to todays rates. 10 btc is mental.

Wrong the donation amount was not removed because. And who wouldn't like a few BTC ? If we were to follow your logic the forum wouldn't need advertising auctions at all, here's the real reason

To keep a fair playing field for those that had already donated.  How would you feel if you donated 50btc to get VIP status and then they lowered the price?

Same goes for you:

How about adding new tiers. I mean we still have a few colors to chose from. We could call the old donators whales and new one shrimps. But anything goes really. I bet bitcointalk hasn't received new donations since forever.

Getting a name change should be a separate donation in my opinion without the titles.

Not needed but discussed many times. The donator status is supposed to be hard to reach, as explained best by theymos

No offense Theymos but I think VIP is way to expensive. Please lower VIP to 10 BTC which is already close to $100 with fees. 50btc is ridiculous.

It's not supposed to be easy to get. What value would it have if even 1% of members have it?

At any rate, for more revenue, forum advertisement is there and it brings est. 10BTC per month.

[krunox123]

You will have to donate some Bitcoins to get VIP status if you want to change your name anytime you want or you can send a request to theymos through PM to change it for you, but I heard that theymos will not do it without a solid reason (I may be wrong though).
The cheaper and faster way is to create a new account with your desired username.

IIRC, they're planning on making new ranks that are cheaper than that; I think I may have seen it a while ago but it might have been my imagination.

What 50 BTC?
It was very much at all I do not have that much BTC 

[nydiacaskey01]

I know 1 guy here who changed his username recently, does that mean he paid that much (around 19,000 USD based on that times exchange rate) just to remove a few letters and numbers to his username?
