I'm pretty sure ROBLOX allowed underscore usernames because they wanted new users to be able to find new usernames easier because accounts like 'iuasgtyugd828391238' and 'jessica89329832498" were being created. Now everyone is changing their usernames and making alts because they want usernames with _ included. Why? Just because they can.
It may be amusing for the person who created the username, but not for the rest of us. All the accounts with decent usernames are taken by spam alts that could be used by people who are ACTUALLY going to use them! Changing your username once or twice is acceptable, a lot of us had some pretty silly usernames we created for our account when we were younger and what not. But changing your username 5+ times?! Not only is that a waste of usernames, but it's RIDICULOUS! And what's even more ridiculous then that is the fact that you can't use a username someone previously has before changing it! Sure, underscores are a pretty cool and exciting feature, but 99% of underscore accounts being made are people changing their users, creating spam accounts, and those who want to take all the "namesnipes" for themselves.
Here's a great example of someone who's taken plenty of usernames! http://www.roblox.com/users/31342830/profile (Beware! this'll make you so annoyed you will cringe out of this dimension.) There are plenty of people who do this, not only with underscore usernames, but with any type of username in general! And if you are one of them, I don't care if you want to look cool or be funny. If you like the site then stop taking advantage of it. You're ruining it for for those who'd actually USE those usernames.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM THAT MIGHT JUST FIX IT! Like I said in the second paragraph of this forum, I find it odd that we can't use usernames that a user previously had before changing it. Yes, it might cause confusion for those who knew that user, and people might try to pose as the user who had that username previously, but it would be something that user would have to consider for changing their username in the first place. This way, people can change their usernames as many times as they want without hogging them all for themselves! Sure keep underscores, but I find that this system would solve the username hogging issues better than any other way could, and if it doesn't solve it, it will at least help it.
[DON'T BE SO QUICK TO DISAGREE! if you feel you're not agreeing with this, or that you have a better solution, state a reasonable reply down below. And please, nothing silly. This is something I think that should actually be considered by the ROBLOX staff]
[Sorry for any grammatical errors]

@bavarium Well, that's something they have to consider before changing their username. And if they want to change it back, and it's taken. Too bad so sad.

@Flamey50 But if they're not using the username anymore, then does it really matter?

"But if they're not using the username anymore, then does it really matter?" THaTS A GOOD ONE.
I also had the idea of being able to buy (name change to) inactive names.

I personally want the ability for a user to change his/her username capital/lowercase wise for free. Users who have changed their names before should have the feature to change to one of their old name for free as well.

@nikon1j1 You're quite wrong actually. My real name is Atera. And I find it pretty awesome that my username is my real name. I'll never change my username and haven't for 2 years.
