Hmph yeah so old usernames should just be auctioned off! I would totally participate in that!
So what could happen is…
There could be a big page for like a week with a list of names of accounts that’ve been inactive since like 2006-2008. You can’t create an account with that name, you can only bid on it. You can search for the name you want and bid on it. The bidding would go on for maybe 48 hours and after that amount of time, the highest bidder is given that name. OH and you can only bid on one name at a time! There’s so many names I want but it’s best that we all get only one name.
This’d be a huge Robux sink! I just hope nobody takes Barcode!!

I’d keep my name…I like my name

[quote] All I want is the username Dom.
A moderator friend of mine asked some ROBLOX HRs about it.
They said they can’t give me “Dom” yet, but they’re thinking of possibilities.
They’re aware of all those great names that are unused, :slight_smile: [/quote]

If Dom gets freed, it’s MINE.[/quote]

Buttface :stuck_out_tongue:

But I think two years is not enough.
ALSO, IF AN ACCOUNT HAS BEEN USED ACTIVELY AT ALL, IT’S SAFE.

Only accounts that have been logged into maybe once should be eligible.

My view on usernames taken and such is this;

Usernames not active for 1 year will get an email saying something like “We miss you” those emails that say you’ve been inactive etc

Usernames not active for 2 years will get an email saying they need to log in some-time this year otherwise there account name will be changed to a mixture of numbers and letters to prevent inactive users from clogging the system or whatever. So the account isn’t deleted but just free’d up if that makes sense

If the value of the account is worth more then 2.5k tix/R$ it would be another year before any of this happens

I’ll give all my Robux, which varies from 30k-250k for my username to be changed to Script

Another necro bump.

Do identification using a random sequence of letters + numbers and let everyone use whatever display name they feel like, just like in real life :smiley:

See mom, I told you necromancers exist.

Only if this username sweeps only includes people with place visits under 100,000.

Because otherwise, we’ll be removing people with classic fun games.

Probably the best idea I’ve seen on this thread.

As a first step only accounts that have never even been used should be deleted.

You know, the 50 alts you created because you thought of a cool name or got banned for a day and then forgot the username and password.

I`m thinking 4 years and up of inactivity should do the trick, or better yet, if the account hasn’t been used for more than one week since its creation, and its over a year old, wipe that too.

Seriously that would wipe clean SOOOOO many names, and I can not see one complaint from this. I doubt someone will go “DUDE I made that account a year ago and planned on using it today! What have you done!” or “DUDE! I made that account 4 years ago! I was about to use it!”

It would be cool if these names got swiped.

Some people have accounts that are several years old, but where the password is forgotten.
Some people would be very happy to be remembered about them, with password, of course.

I have 2 2008 accounts I forgot the password to. I would much rather them just reset the account names so I can fetch them again instead of wasting their names hoping that I remember a 6 year old password.

The Roblox Admins do use old usernames that are inactive… why can’t we?

And wipe inactive account without emails attached

The first namechange should be free, and only the rest should cost. Many games/forums/website do this actually, it works pretty well.

So, a few suggestions from other people I saw when reading through this thread that I like:

[ul]
[li]Old names can only be bought, not taken by new accounts.[/li]
[li]Sweeps for accounts with low log-in count.[/li]
[li]Potential auctioning based on account worth.[/li]
[/ul]
My only real concern is I know some people, even though they quit, would like their account to remain untouched just for memories sake. Granted, the number of those people are probably low compared to the number of accounts unused, but just a thought.

I think that if their account has been banned, the name should not be freed.
