All you freakin' new players who just understand that they will not do this. You can't find a username? Bull. There are over 6386968841371582464000 possible name combinations, not counting the numbers. |

And you are assuming wrong. Most of them have probably gotten older and got a job or something. Doesn't mean they wont come back some time when they retire. >.> At any rate, Mods do not need to do that, it is a waste of time when you have that big number of possible username combinations up there. |

Numbers are legit. Try doing something like this: "26!" (Fidn the factorial of 26) 26 x 25 x 24 x 23 x 22 x 21 x 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = That big number. |

| And I have seen 26 character-long user-names before, so that number is legit. |

And when you go to the library, you can get THAT smacked with an IP/ISP ban. I'm sure there'd be a few people who would complain to the library and have your ability to use their computer taken away for that. |

Jacob;
There is a large number of combinations, you are correct.
I don't know about you, but "asdcvbertyd" doesn't count as a name to me.
My opinion on the matter is that a used username should just be able to be used again. "but what abuot meh admeh scripts i got from fremodels!11!!11" Simple. Use Player ID instead, you have to use Group ID for group spawns, you have to use T-Shirt ID's for Admin/VIP. It's not a big deal. |

| Now that, I could see as possibly working. But then there is the oh so "Popular" problem of "But he will act like someone famous if he uses a famous persons username!". I really don't care all too much about it in itself, but I would dislike seeing people who I know who have quit but plan to come back, get their accounts deleted. |

I'd like to provide a solution to that too.
Most "Famous" people are dressed rather expensively, correct? How would one imitate that- on an alt- without spending 50-60 bucks, something most people's parents would never agree to. |

You know what I hate, when people make alts with epic names. When I first joined, most names were taken, I looked up those names and found out that they were alts.

| That's nice, now, I'm sorry, it's common courtesy on the forums that if you bump a thread you're actually supposed to contribute to it. |
