Honestly they need to just make it so old names that are taken can be taken now, for example a user would have to be inactive for a set period of time and a few other requirements met but if those were met the account's name would be changed to something like how guests are guests with numbers.

My suggestion to improve idea: Users keep their original name + up to 3 names (1 of which is likely to be their current) of their choice. Any others count as expired. When you see their ? button, it would be like this.

This User Has...:
Original_Name111
Genghis_Khan
2cool4skipinskool
Quadratic
Username555 (*)
Merry_Christmas_Every1 (*)
Take_This_Name (*)
...

As you see, some names have an * by them. This indicates that the username expired. If a name doens't have it, then the username is still owned by the person. An * means that other people can take the username or it has been taken already.

The 4 names w/o the * are simply the original + 3 others of choice, 1 likely to be Original_Name111's current username.

If you're so sad about missing names, then get them while they're hot, stop complaining. I should be able to have as many usernames as I want without them getting compromised. I payed for them, I keep them.

People who take usernames usually want to keep them to change back to later and if their old username were to be taken I think they'd be pretty mad.

You're not getting it bud. If you change your username, it means you don't want it anymore. If not, then why would anyone change it? @robloxplayerguy1010

Support. Like Dummiez said, we should run it like the minecraft system.
Change it every 30 days. After 37 days anyone can take the name.

No support. If a Mod changes their name, Someone could take it and impersonate the mod.

another good reason why you shouldn't support this..

games that save your stats imprint your name into it.

so if u namechange the stats wont load to your acc

if someone takes that name they get THEIR stats.

Or atleast if someone wants to change there name a second time it adds 1000 more robux. But if you want to choose your username you had in the past it'll stay stuck at 1000

here's my stance on this

after a inactive period of 3 years, a batch of usernames are freed

your old name can still be taken back in a 30 day period, if you don't take it back its gone.

@OP: If someone changes their username that doesn't necessarily mean they don't want it.
