Rules/Requirements
You may request to use the username of an inactive account if you:
- are going to use the nick yourself (no requests for friends, no duplicate accts).
- have been active on the site for at least 3 months. Not less.
- have not requested an inactive username in the last 6 months.
- have not been banned in the last 6 months.
- are not requesting an offensive, sexual, or otherwise problematic username.
- do not appear to exist, but you are unable to use this username
- have not been confirmed in at least 3 months (no "last online" status). Not less.
- are completely empty at least 3 months after last online. Not less.
- have barely been used (next to no list entries, comments, posts, etc.) and were last online at least 2+ years ago. Not less.
- have not been logged into for at least 5 years. Not less.
- have been used for illegitimate purposes (e.g. to claim a username).
- have been closed by a moderator (but were not prominent users in the community).
Do NOT:
- block the requested username, or your old nickname, with a duplicate account. This perpetuates the problem.
- PM admins asking for username change requests. Please use this thread and we will get to your requests as soon as possible.
- make a fuss if you don't get your requested username. Please remember this thread is a privilege, not a right.
The following usernames may not be requested due to a high interest from many members. Rather than it becoming a race to see who can post requesting it first, we have decided to make these nicks ineligible.
Code:
Sora
King
LuciferHoping to change the capitals in your nick?
Please post your nick with the desired capitalisation. Note that it must be the exact same nick, just in a different case. One request only.
Looking for your inactive account?
Used accounts will be renamed with either an underscore (_) or hyphen (-) on the end.
If you need help reclaiming your old account, please contact an admin.
