The old chestnut of the User Name Amnesty?

[AlpacaLypse]

I really do think a Username that was used for about a week and a half five years ago and has lain dormant ever since should be freed up. Maybe HQ could email dormant username owners and give them (say) thirty days to confirm they still want the name? Obviously some names should never be revived eg Mitmoo but I'm thinking the sort that posted once for innocuous advice and then drifted off, either nc-ing or to Another Site?

What do you reckon?

Oh yes! It's so restricting, and new user names are going to get more and more restricted and less meaningful. Let's have a clear-out!

My nickname changed all by itself after the bleeding heart thing. Along with all my nickname history

Please! There's one I want that I have never seen used!

I've been wondering about your extra letter 't' suspect

For example, I was once NewYearNewNickname, for a few weeks. Now that's blocked forever. We're not allowed to use any special characters, but presumably Tech could authorise something so someone else could be NewYearNewNickname#2

But numbers look a bit shit.

I'd quite fancy changing my name to MitMoo.

I've always loved your nn Cervix, it was genius. I remember when you changed to it. (I think, unless I've got it really wrong)

Hi, I'd just like to say this is a really great idea and I will be making the changes within the next 30 seconds

I've just tried to change my username and I can't remember my bloody password after the big reset.

I agree, have namechanged tonight but have one that i would have loved to use and it hasn't been used in the last 5 years!
I would very much put money into whichever charity pot they want

Bagsy Mitmoo1

Oh god please let #sugartits come free

Ha!

Oh god WHAT HAVE I STARTED!!!!

It's not your fault Alpaca. Usual said numbers were ok.

my name has also been used with a 1 and a 2 on the end ..... by me !

I'll be back when I've finished registering AlpacaLypse1, 2 and 3, not to mention a few variations of DeepRedBetty and randommoment.

Pagwatch named me my other name but i came up with this one all on my own.
