ok, im gonna read all the posts in this thread
but first i would like to ask you....
Did you know there are still hundreds of names even thousands of original names available?
if i could i would take them all but hey! i cant manage so many accounts haha
Seriously if i could i would... or how about once yo have recycled the names
i take them all?
you're stating:

The purpose of this is to free up some of the more desirable usernames that are currently bound to inactive accounts,
and allow active and engaged users to enjoy them!
then how do you know for sure those names wont be taken by newbies who will abandon the accounts to be inactive?
The people agreed with this its probably because they dont have an good name
not offense people but like i mentioned before there still are good names available!
yeah you could say yerlak isnt a good name but it is for me it has a history,
a very important name in my life
heart though my concern is about my other accounts
some of them are not active yet but im planing to use them eventually

I really don't know if this is a good idea. Names are an identity.
How do you deal with the confusion of seeing somebody new using the name of an old friend who was just on two years ago?
What about people in the military & are away from their account for an extended period of time?
What about users who are deceased that have friends who still drop by to pay their respects?

So I do not thing this is a great idea or anything else. Its a bad idea, and I mean a really bad idea.

The recycling new names should only apply to those who are permanently banned with no hope of ever getting their account back

Terrible idea. I don't like such a thing to change after so many years. It makes me feel unsafe to take a needed hiatus from the site.
