I hate thinking of an awesome name for my character, or a name for a new clan, only to find that it's been taken. Ninety percent of the time, it's someone who hasn't logged on since like 2006 or a clan that no longer exists because everyone left. If that's the case, the account/group should be deleted so people can reuse the name. (If the account has been inactive for more than four or so years it should be deleted.)

"Ninety percent of the time" wheres your proof?
"If that's the case, the account/group should be deleted so people can reuse the name." This has been suggested countless times and will NOT happen any time soon.
"so people can reuse the name." oh yea because that wouldn't be abused now would it?

"wheres your proof?"

I don't need proof, it's not a public statistic. I was roughly estimating based on names and groups I've searched in the past.

I know people who have gone away from Roblox for about two years, and then came back. If they are away for more then four it's likely they won't be comming back any time soon.

What if that person wants to come back on ROBLOX again just to see that their account has been removed?

No support.

"Ninety percent of the time"

Did you know that 70% of all statistics are false?
Did you also know that 90% of all statements sound true just because you add a percent sign?

@Equrious

As I said before, if they're away for four years, it's likely they won't even return. Even if they did, I doubt they would care as most of the inactive accounts were made anywhere from '06 to '08, and it's 2014 now. A lot of the people who made them are probably in collage or close to it.

If it's really that big of concern, then just raise the time limit to five or six years.

You don't have any right to take away a name from another player.
Even if they aren't active.

They're name is their identification.
They made a history with that name.
You take that, you take their history and make it your own.

Don't encourage identity theft.

It's not identity theft. Search something like "nick" in the players section. He has been inactive since 2006. Eight years ago was the last time he was on. All the badges he has were hacked in, you'll see that many of the old '06 accounts have them. (clonetrooper joined in '09, thus making it impossible for nick who was last active in '06 to have his badges.) As you can now see, most of these accounts have no history.

This is literally deleting accounts for NO reason and stealing names.
