Normally, I'd start off with an intro and a scenario, but I just want to get typing.

There should be a feature that allows for newcomers to take the names of non-active accounts. If accounts have not logged on in over a year, newcomers can take their names.

Of course, you're thinking, "abuse", but that's where e-mail comes in handy. If the non-active account has a verified e-mail, that e-mail will be sent a message stating, "A new ROBLOX player would like to use the name [insert name here]. Would you be ok with this?". The e-mail would have a link leading to a page in ROBLOX with two buttons, one saying, "Allow", and another, "Deny". Pressing Allow would allow the user to take the name. Pressing Deny would restrict the user from taking the name.

Extra scenarios can be considered, too. If the account does not have a verified e-mail, or the owner of the account does not reply within three days, the account's name is surrendered to the newcomer.

Got all that?

But what will the old account be renamed? Simple; rename accounts with taken names, "ID: [insert account ID here]". Easy.

I'm not even sure if they had verified email in 2005-2007 but I don't know, I wasn't there at the time, this seems like a longer process then it should be. When I create an account I just want to get right on and play. Not wait three days. I would honestly forget about roblox by then. I will still support though. Some people are more paitent than me.

Read the first part about newcomers taking names... No.
Those names are -mostly- unique to the player who first used them. Are92 is Are92, and the only Are92. Some newcomer should not be allowed to lay their grubby little paws all over those renowned names just because that person is not playing ROBLOX.

Read second part: ... Maybe.
Read third part: Reread my first reply, this reply would be a direct copy/paste.

False.

Are92 goes on once every year. He wouldn't want someone taking his name.

For all I know, I don't think he'd even be eligible.

The main point of this idea is to punish alt-makers and name-snipers.

No one cares about your ideas? Are you complaining that we're not commenting? You don't even accept what we say anyway!

Because it's illogical.

Not only that, but I CARE about my ideas, unlike some people on here.

I was using Are92 as an over-generic example.
There are usernames that are unique to a player who quit or had uncertain circumstances befall them. Those usernames should not be soiled by some random newcomer.

People who quit don't care about their accounts any more. And you shouldn't force them to keep their names, because that's their choice and their choice ONLY.

If he gives up his/her name, you have no right to be mad whatsoever. Because the person as a whole hasn't changed.

Okay, so, here what will happen:

Little Jimmy: Oh boy, I want the new username MrRoblox184!
(MrRoblox184 is an inactive account and Little Jimmy wants the username)
Little Jimmy types the username in.
ROBLOX: Someone already has that account name! But this user has not been on in over a year. Would you still like to take the name? (or something like that)
Little Jimmy: Oh, boy! This is great! *Clicks 'Yes'
ROBLOX: This user has verified an E-Mail adress. We will contact them to ask if this is okay.
Little Jimmy: But how will you contact me?
ROBLOX: Well, Little Jimmy, that part I do not no! You'll just have to pick a new username, I suppose!
Little Jimmy: You can talk?!

And that's the end.

Perhaps they could make it so that if you're looking to take a certain name, you can make your account with the same naming pretense as nameless accounts, and you must be required to verify an e-mail address as soon as you make that account.

No support...

What if I quit for 2 years, then suddenly think OH GAWD MAI I shud play some ROBLOX. I never check my emails. Then suddenly I try to login and it says my beautiful username is taken D: (not that anyone wants mine, but still :3). I'd have to change my name / make a new account.
