Roblox honestly needs to update alot of its systems to match up to other games, i mean, we can't even edit forum posts, and its 2016!

| I got an idea... All accounts that have been inactive for a long time if someone makes an account that's its name they get it's name and the inactive account gets a name like renamed or reset16364808? |

@herobrineblack good idea, although a better idea is removing the inactive/banned accounts completely out of the system instead of leaving them rotting. |

If it makes you feel any better, I'm fine with the username I've got now and most likely won't change again.

| @e_v then, the alternative solution for you is a system like steam, where you can change your ingame username all you want while your out of game username stays the same. |

| I support. Multiple unsernames shouldn't be allowed to get hogged by a single account. Especially since some of those names get used only once and never see the light of day again. |

Why would you support this? This is honestly a really bad idea... even some administrators changed their username when underscores got released, if this was implemented then we could just change our username to an administrators old name and we could trick players into thinking we're them lol ;c

then you'd get banned for impersonating a moderator. an ancient story we like to tell is the story of builderman spacebar.

@captainbacon
dude, we were all pretty much just debating this entire thing, and.... based on how other games handle user name changes, this is a perfectly reasonable idea that would make roblox up to date with other games. |

Another way this would work is how Minecraft's username system works. (Literally copy/pasting this from a FAQ)
How often can I change my username? You can change your username once every 30 days.
After I change my username, when does my old username become available? Your old username becomes available to you after 30 days and everyone else after 37 days.
It doesn't have to be those exact numbers however so feel free to elaborate on that. This suggestion however will probably not get through due to the fact that people spend 1000 Robux on names just to have it available again.

@captainbacon
Exactly. So many sites use this system. Many are complaining that if ROBLOX used this system it wouldn't be good because someone could impersonate you. That would be 100% not ROBLOX's fault if that were to happen, because it's the user's fault for changing it in the first place. Changing your username means that you're willing to give up your username to have a new one. Not owning plenty so that users who would use those usernames can't. Also, accounts that have been inactive should have their usernames up for grabs, since those accounts will never be able to be used again. So many decent usernames have been left to rot because the account has been inactive, deleted, or taken by a hogger, spam account, or alt. This isn't something I want done, it's something that needs to be done because ROBLOX has a serious username issue, that could easily be fixed.

I have an idea if this ever becomes a reality (not), trademark your name (omg finebros)
BrickConnector™
Unauthorized use of my trademark = court
Being serious though, it won't happen. |

A couple of years from now, if ROBLOX is still a thing, I wonder how exasperating it will be for new users to find a username.

| People don't realize that this is actually a GOOD idea. This prevents jerks from username hoarding with the new underscores update. I support this 100%. |
