I vote for keeping the names as they are. I wouldn't want anyone fiddling with my account if I were considering coming back.

It would create too much confusion once a new member took that user name.

Actually it was i spent ages trying to get one i liked and nothing came up i was just thinking of the new people visiting who cannot get a name should we add 2.0 to the old ones that are defunct

Besides, just like Motel 6 we leave the light on for them. Sometimes people do return from long absences.

ha! I just wonder if it is the same Motel 6 that took a booking and then didn't allow the Guest to stay... light was on but he was not allowed in. Bastards!

That title got you're attention i bet .
But it is a serious question about user names here at a.t.s or lack of them as the case maybe
when i joined i struggled to find one that i liked as many have been taken by people who register and never come back or post .
So my question is folks should we kill those people off just like missing people in the real world are after a certain time if someone has never logged in for 3/5/7 + years why keep the account open for them .
Less than 50 posts and not been back for X amount of time would free up names for new members
so what say you ats what do you think
