You can PM PCGUY, the site Admin.

If you have a good reason, i'm sure he'll let you.

Since you're a brand new user, why don't you just abandon this ID and build yourself a new one...no significant post count or name recognition yet on your "old" one.

Well technically that's against forum rules, having more then one account.
Probably just easier to sort it out with PCGUY if he has a good reason.

I suspect it might have something to do with having his full name as his username. Well even if it does get changed, some might remember his name...

No, "you" yourself cannot change your user name but PCGUY can do it for you if he approves the reason why you would like to change it.

'Twas a joke, Velocity was known as Rmich(bunch of numbers), before he got PCGUY to change it for personal reasons or something.
