Since roblox was initiated, over 4 million users have joined roblox. Each of those users have a name. That means 4 million names taken. What does that say about the new users? They're not going to be able to choose what they want. They'll have to add numbers or modify it. I think that there should be a name reset. Every user will be given a message to confirm that they're still playing. If they don't confirm, the account will be removed. This will give new players more name choices.
(Worst idea ever, right?)

Yes, while I think I want to change a dumb name I chose when I was younger, at the same time this does definitely give new members more space for usernames and such.

Support, but I feel bad to people who have originated their name.
<------ Mine is original.
Also, how will you do this? They can steal names and end up with d4rk886's place.

A lot of people I know take long breaks from ROBLOX, so getting a message like that could be sent while they're on a trip or away...
Meaning they would have to lose their username or account.

There are billions of possible names out there, and taking an old one wouldn't be as creative and unique. Plus, if I were to go online and search for a friends' username that was removed while they were away, I could be brought up to a whole different person.

Many ROBLOX players probably would lose a lot of well payed money (like robux or BC) if their account was deleted while they were away. And if they're username is changed, their friends might not be able to find him.

I don't support this, Sorry.

It would be simpler just to allow underscores in player names. Maybe have it at a maximum of 1 underscore, to divide 2 words.

No support.

As someone pointed out, some users may be on a trip or on holiday so they wouldn't see the notification, leading to their name being stolen. I also don't believe this idea is that great, simply because people will run around when this name reset occurs taking up all of the namesnipes that they can - leading to a similar predicament we're in now.

There are approximately 1,025,109 words in the English language, meaning you can have 1,025,109 single-word usernames. Now for the number of possible 2 word names , it's 525,423,718,386 names. The whole of the world's population would need to make that type of account name and approximately 73 alts to have all the possible 2 word names run out. Don't get me started on names like "name1263" or "b9483kf4c"

If you consider this a bad idea, why are you posting it?

You're just wasting everyone's time.

I remember they said no to this because its wrong to delete somebodies account no matter what. Im sure a person can come up with an original name. If you choose something like 'coolboy' of course its gonna be taken since its so generic.
