I'm not Admin, but check out this FAQ.

Specifically, this part:

Once you have registered your username, it becomes yours for life. In extreme circumstances, you may request that the administrator change your username, but he will require a very good reason to do so.

Or more specifically, this part:

What would count as a very good reason?

Why not just get a new name? I mean, it's not like you have 8000 posts attached to this one...

Er...

OK, so you want to change your name, which is the only thing you can't change (aside from post counts). So you make a new personality, use your current avatar, your current location, current sig, etc. How is this different from having Admin change your name???

I'd personally go so far as to delete all posts by your current personality, so they're not wasting server space.

Ok, I'm going to think about it...
