[Just as a beginning note, if you TL;DR this, you can go to hell, lazy bum. c:]
Okay, so, before we start; read the whole thing. I try to cover every problem, and that's why I'm posting a new thread rather than on the hundreds of other requests of this.
So, lets start.
Have you ever tried to rename your ROBLOX account, but it won't let you? Or, maybe when you joined, you wanted a new name but it was taken. When you finally join, rename, or give up renaming, you go to look at the account with the name, and it's five years old and was never even used. Waste of a good name, right?
So, I propose that if the user in question never paid for anything, - real currency, that is, - and they have been inactive for at least two years, their account name is free for the taking.
So, the account will always be there, until the name is taken. Once somebody wants the name of an account that has never paid for a card, used a card, paid for R$ or BC, and has been untouched for two years straight, it will be renamed after somebody wants the name.
When an account's name is taken, the account is renamed to something of the sort of "User", and then several more digits after. For example, one could be named, "User249586".
Now, before you go saying, "If I went inactive, I wouldn't want my account to be renamed to something like that!", I want to say; If you were inactive for two years, chances are you aren't coming back. And even if you are, someone would have to want, and then take your name for themselves.
Once your name has been taken, whatever e-mail it was set to will be sent a message saying that the name has been taken, and what your new username is. If you want to figure out what username your account is afterward, you can have an e-mail sent to you. If you've forgotten, well, that's your loss. You should have used a valid e-mail, or remembered the one you have.
So, to be more specific, and to restate: If you have purchased anything, meaning *anything*, BC, ROBUX, anything, any price, any amount, even just $5.00(Or other currency), then your account name cannot be taken.
If your account name is taken, you will continue to hold the name in your old names list, but will not be able to revert even if the person who took the name renamed once again.
If you have multiple account names, it will revert to the "User#####" name, but you will still have the choice to name it back to any old names you once had after logging back in. If the name is also taken, the same thing will happen and you will not be able to use that name, and the same for any other names.
Now, before you people say, "There are this-and-that-and-this many names, and I doubt all of them will be taken.", I'm just going to say; we don't want "bgka42jj52k" as our name. We want a good name, and if all of them are taken, then we have none to use without a crap ton of numbers, which we also don't want. I've seen people complain about having names like, "Jake5235" instead of just "Jake".
And as a last note: No, nobody can take a name such as "Erik.Cassel" or "Miked", for the simple fact that almost every famous person, or one that many people would know, and still know, has spent at least a small amount of money in which would keep their name taken.
If you do not want your name taken after leaving ROBLOX for a time, probably more than two years, then just spend a simple $5.00(Or whatever it is in your country), it isn't that much, and if you really want your name that much, then it'll be worth it.
So, give me your feedback, flaws I haven't covered, bypasses to said flaws, why you think this would be good, etc. And don't just say, "No support", give a reason; a reason better than, "I might want to keep my name when I go inactive for two years.", because you can spend five bucks(Or other currency) if you really want it that badly.

No support. Some people actually come back, and if roblox did make this happen (which they won't), the person who came back wouldn't be able to log on because of their name being taken. And some people who do go inactive for a long amount of time (who didn't buy anything) but are famous, would be forgotten. |

Millionares, did you not read the third line?
I said to read the whole thing. I bet you just read the title and replied, as it seems you skipped everything I said.

Full support, at the moment I have nothing to change my name to, and my current username is horrible.
Guys, if someone hasn't been on for a few years they are NOT gonna be mad, they have quit roblox and are probably doing something like college, OK? |

Exactly.
Even I went inactive for a time, but only a year. After two, it's quite evident you've quit, and if you haven't then you must face the consequences.
After two years, everything on ROBLOX changes anyway, why not your username?

ihatecreeper600, they earned it, then left it for dead and did nothing with it.
Why should we have to suffer for it?

Firstly, what if they're too young?
If somebody is five years old when they start ROBLOX, and they start it now, they'd not have had a chance before-hand.
And, it's not like the entire account gets deleted, it's still possible to get a new name for literally just $10 or so, or keep it for $5.
It's not going to hurt the people that don't use it, why not give it to someone who will?

Most of the NBC'ers wont pay for that money, whether is little or not.
Stick with the inactivity for 2 years, but I still don't support. |

"Dude... I don't think you are getting this...

Firstly, I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about anyone who might be in that situation.
Secondly, I am getting this. You think that because we didn't get the name first, that it should just be left to sit there forever, with nothing done to it just so you can wish you had it, instead of some guy that just abandoned it.
"Most of the NBC'ers wont pay for that money, whether is little or not."
Then they need to get a PayPal.

It's a kids game, you expect kids to make their own Paypal when they're under 18?
99% of the kids can't use their parent's paypal but only 1% can.
Think of the population, 1%? No. |

-If a website is created like ROBLOX. All names ever AREN'T taken.
-People take these names.
-Newbies complain because they didn't get the username they wanted and go on the forum and won't be quiet about it. |

No, but their parents can.
"99% of the kids can't use their parent's paypal but only 1% can."
Did you know that over half of estimations through percentages are made up on the spot(btw, Not made up)?
Anyway... It's *way* more than 1%. More like 75% or more.
And even if they are that young, they'd probably just cry about the account for a day then forget it.
"Think of the population, 1%? No."
75%+*
"-If a website is created like ROBLOX. All names ever AREN'T taken."
Sorry, I didn't think about a community with all names like yours.
Seriously, you may be happy with "j818", but most others aren't. I wasn't happy with "sammyman09" so much, I made an entire new account just to get it rather than paying. I wouldn't give a crap if my old account's name was taken, because it was stupid anyway.
"-People take these names."
Then leave them forever.
"-Newbies complain because they didn't get the username they wanted and go on the forum and won't be quiet about it."
And this will stop that. It rarely, if ever happens already, I doubt this would make it worse. After two years they probably quit anyway.

75% ok, make it fair for the 25%.
As I said again, if usernames change your life on ROBLOX then you have problems. |

I agree with davisky, I know something about 2006.
Remember that guy who made that pirate ship and got famous? He was inactive for years but it's not good to impersonate someone who got a like from builderman. |

"75% ok, make it fair for the 25%."
It isn't fair already. They can't get BC, or R$, boohoo for them, go cry me a river they were inactive for two years straight. Not like their account is deleted.
"As I said again, if usernames change your life on ROBLOX then you have problems."
Not sure about you, but by what I see in the forums, in games, in many things, people judge a lot by name. If you have a unique name, like Miked had one, or Merely, or Telamon, people tend to treat you differently than if you had a name like, "jake123".
"No support. People will take famous people names who havent bought anything."
Nobody that is famous enough for people to care hasn't bought one thing.
"I agree with davisky, I know something about 2006.

Well boohoo for them. They're inactive, I doubt they give a crap if someone steals their name after two or more years of inactivity which they'll probably never come back to and nobody cares about.

This only further proves my point.
"ultimatesorceror" is a bad name to him, but not to you. He can give up the name, and after two years of activity, someone like you who likes the name can come back and get it!

Most people treats you the way you act on the forums. |
