Public request to Theymos for a name change

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Hi Theymos,

I sent you a PM a couple of months ago requesting to change my username, and I did not hear back from you.  Since I don't know if your silence means "no" or not, I'm again humbly requesting my username be changed to The Sceptical Chymist.  I have good, personal reasons for asking for this change, and I'd kindly ask that you consider granting my wish.

Thanks.  No hard feelings if the answer is no.

I'd want one too if my nickname also mean toilet paper.  

Give TP his name change!

I support The Pharmacist, he has done a lot here on Bitcointalk I hope you get your request granted, very interesting username, is it connected to Robert Boyle's influential writing?

[nutildah]

Do people keep trying to buy drugs from you for BTC? That would explain it.

Yes indeed, and in my original PM to Theymos I mentioned that I wanted to keep the spelling just as Boyle wrote it.

Well that wasn't one of the personal reasons, but I chuckle every time someone abbreviates my username as TP.  Thanks for the support, Vod.

Why man? we are used to this one, if you change the name, it will take time to get used to it. however, we love you anyway.
Give this man his change of user name please.

[UserU]

I support this, The Pharmacist is not a real pharmacist and therefore should not mislead the members into thinking he is one.











I'm just kidding, no hard feelings

It doesn't work that way. You need to join our discord server and ask Cyrus.

a lot of members will join the channel and asking Cyrus to change their username. I would try it also.

Yon need to have a SOLID reason to change it, it won't happen if you are just bored of your old username.

I am not a decision-maker but I support your request.

It is just my 2 cents. Do you think The Sceptical Chymist is too long (especially it has spaces in between). I doubt that it will fit well in the account description area on the left of each post.

...sneak preview  It is indeed long but does not seem to break anything. Good luck, even if you may be sceptical about it

TP to TSC? Just to inform you, TSC is a well known place in Bangladesh.

May I want to know the link to the Discod?
If I'm not mistaken, I've joined in after Cyrus shared it here but somehow my Discord isn't there.
Maybe I have good reasons for the real name.

edit: I've been in their Discord

what you have shared man? LOL, the more people now will join and ask Cyrus about to change username unnecessarily. Don't know they will be succeed to change username or not but they surely make a pressure to Cyrus.

*I will also try this way to change my username. wish me a good luck guys.

And yeah I support The Pharmacist's application to change his username.

I am, actually (or was; I don't practice anymore).  

Do people keep trying to buy drugs from you for BTC? That would explain it.

Lol, that's funny--this is the first PM I ever received on the forum:

What pills can you sell me?

Don't know whatever happened to that guy, because he's been inactive since 2016.  Hopefully he didn't get the wrong pills or something.  

TP to TSC? Just to inform you, TSC is a well known place in Bangladesh.

You could just call me Chymist as a nickname or just copy/paste the entire username like I sometimes do with really long ones.  

And I thank all of you who are supporting me.  That's not something I expected when I started this thread.

I actually do have a solid one, but it's one that I'd rather not share--though if Theymos asked me, I would certainly tell him.

EDIT:  I would even be happy with just "Sceptical Chymist" without the The.  It's probably cleaner that way anyway.

Being able to change your username should come as one of the perks of a new donator rank that people can purchase. VIPs can change their name as well as staff so making it a paid feature could be useful and it's something probably a lot of people would like to do. Admin's probably don't have time for most name changes and seems a bit unfair that only a very few can do it so it would be helpful if it didn't need to involve them. Most of the time people changing their name is annoying though, especially with older users.

If community support can help the Pharmacist get his new username quickly then I will do it for him too. But unfortunately, everyone may have to wait until Theymos respond to the request. I've seen some names have changed to their new username in the past, and I hope this time the Pharmacist will get one. Good luck

I give you my support if that means anything. I believe that most of us did not think that some username would mark us here on the forum, many did not expect to stay here so long and spend much time on the forum. Why not fix it if possible, things change.

btw. If you accept to get new nickname "Sceptical Chymist" without the The, why not just remove "The" from your current username. "Pharmacist" sounds fine to me. (then you will not be TP as Vod says   )
just my two cents.

Then I'll just be "P".  Lol.  I don't want the moniker The Pharmacist any more, and it took me a good deal of thinking to come up with something I'd be comfortable with (never an easy task when choosing a username, at least from my experience). 

Anyway, Theymos might not even respond to this, which I'm prepared for--and I'm also prepared for a "no" answer.  That'd suck, but I'll survive and won't hold a grudge if that's the case.  I know it's rare for members to change their usernames, and I'm no one special that Theymos would feel the need to grant the favor.
