when this happens, i think they should add the feature of spaces and underscores and periods in your name again.

Coincidence, perhaps?

With the current population, I doubt so.

If it did happen ROBLOX would have to allow the use of different characters.

"what if someone spent years and years making thousands of alts?"
Lets assume he is making 1 alt per 10 minute without any breaks. At that rate, it would take the person 261,594,805,065,429,984,779,299,847 years to do that. Even if everyone in the world was doing that, it would take 37,370,686,437,918,569 years to use up all the possible usernames.

1 alt per minute is a slow rate
but yeah, it's near impossible to run out of usernames with that big of a number

nope they cannot, for the old accounts atleast
if they modify the ToS to add "if remained inactive for x time then will be deleted without notification" someone could sue them who made an old account.
Why? Because he didn't sign to that ToS, so it can only apply to the new alts

Check your, name it's new, and not spammed with too much numbers.
So it will be a really really long way, I think ROBLOX would have already shutdown dead before reaching that point.

"They could delete people who havent been active for 1+ years"
thats not how it works
thats not how any of it works
you sign to a ToS when you create an account
that Terms Of Service doesn't anywhere include if you're inactive your account gets banned
if they recently add it, they cannot apply it to the old alts.
if they try applying it to old alts, they could be sued for breaking their own ToS

the roblox web crawler for players is pretty bad
you cannot search players with spaces in their name, so they would need to fix that first
