As we all know, a lot of cool and good names are taken by players who haven't been online for years. People have suggested that these accounts should be deleted and their names be available, but the common argument is, "What if those players wanted to play again?"

Well, for starters, of those players haven't been online for three years, they will most likely never come back. However, people COULD come back, but it would be very, very rare.

But that's not the point. The point is that if an account hasn't been online for over three years, their username would be changed to something else (Would be something similar to deleted usernames, where instead of saying [Content Delted (NumberHere) ], it would say something like [ ChangedUsername (Number Here)]). That way, the account would still be active, but its old username would be available. If the owner wanted to come back to the account after five years, they could use their original username ONCE to login. After that login, they will be notified that their username has been changed, and that they can either choose a new username or try to get their old username back.

tl;dr: Change the usernames of accounts that haven't bee online for over three years so their username is available. Would recommend reading the entire thread so you understand it.

I would support this, if the following were implemented with it:
- After this certain trial period has ended for their name, ROBLOX sends the owner of the account an e-mail stating that they have been offline for a while. If they don't reply within a month, then their username is taken.
- The user has to be a veteran in order to take it (don't really want random noobs with namesnipes like "hello", now do you?)

@redinosaur

First one I will add on. Second one I'm not on board with. I'd rather not have all the rich ROBLOXians taking all the namesnipes for themselves either.

No support. Listen, if we do this alts will just take all the names. Also, I really don't want my old friends' on roblox who don't play anymore have this happen to their account and I'm sure there are more people who'd think of this. And don't forget, some of those really old accounts are the history of Roblox.

Also, what about erik.cassel? A legendary name that shouldn't be touched.

I don't support. I don't think that just because they haven't been on for a long time means their username should be taken, it just seems.. unfair to me.

Support, but what happens when people take the names of inactive, once-famous players (as someone above this post mentioned)?
Other than that, I like this idea. But this shouldn't just be another BC-only privilege, because BCers already have enogh of those compared to NBCers.

I haven't played roblox for 3 years in tell today, I woke up and something smacked me in the face. It was a smack of stupidity from this post. Something lead me to online. I walked to my computer turned on roblox and it was like a Ouija board i set 4 fingers on my mouth as light as a feather, the mouse moved to this weird new 3 lines it wen't down to forums, I then clicked and wen't back to 4 fingers placed on the mouse it dragged the mouse to suggestions, I clicked, wen't back to 4 fingers placed on the mouse it dragged to your post, I clicked. Then I scratched my head and kind of threw up in my mouth. Because, CODRampage doesn't like when people disrespect veterans on roblox like the way you do. Its crazy seeing this come from a 2010'er CODRampage liked 2010'ers because himself was one before he made this account, he then had to reply "Why bury a peice of history, no thanks" then CODRampage had to take this post STRAIGHT UP! TO THE SMACKDOWN HOTEL! THEN CODRAMPAGE Wen't back to bed.

RIP this garbage thread.
