I believe this is an idea many have wanted.
Listen to me first.

Roblox should do a Username Clean up, deleting inactive profiles who have signed up since 2006-2010 and logged on once.

This is a great way to determine whether they actually ever go on anymore. Especially if only the only times they went on was the same day they joined.

Agreed, BUT they can reactivate their account anytime they want.

Actually instead. Before they delete it, they send a month notice reclaim to their mails. If the owner doesn't reclaim the profile, it will get deleted and it's free to anyone including name changes!

You seem to have a perfectly good name! (Okay, sorry. Off-topic..)

Sure. People have been asking this for awhile. Can't say there's anything *potentially* wrong about going through with this.

Hi there! Unfortunately, your username has been taken by another user due to your inactivity. Would you like to choose a new one, free of charge?

They should allow us to log in with our email if this happens.

What?

@Maileh

Putting an email for your account was one of the first steps to CREATING an account. What sort of person could have possibly avoided this?

Unless they didn't do the usual program as we do now...

Agree, but they should send out an email to get on account again in 10 days or it will be deleted. If they don't know the pass they can get a new one.

if you don't have an email, too bad. Besides most kids don't care if their long-lost account is gone.

10 days-1 month.

Doesn't matter as long as they got the time to think about it. And if it's an old profile in 2006-2010 with no email verification. Well nothing is required. It is simply deleted for anyone to use the name. I'll call this the Clean-Up Purge

@Malieh

I mean a 2007 profile. Logged on only once or twice and no longer comes on again.

An example would be the username "parallel" who Joined: 5/22/2009 and was last seen 5/22/2009.

No support. Back then you didn't have to put a email.
Also, what would happen if the person was on holiday for a couple of months?

@Sonic I don't think you go on vacation for 7 years from Roblox and only log on 1-5 times ever on an 06-09 profile. And I mean profiles that haven't been used or touched for like 4 years. Do you not read?

Support, however....


What if you had a friend from that time and someone gets the username and acts like them? There needs to be a indication this account was "redeemed" if you will. That way you will know it's not the same guy.

Too many flaws in the idea.

The number of possible usernames wouldn't run out, if that's a point someone tries to point out. The number years for the possible combinations is in the thousands or hundreds of thousands (did the math once, too lazy to redo). We don't need to worry about inactive usernames for quite some time.

Banned people shouldn't be deleted, so we won't be seeing any jaredvaldez's or dignity's soon.
