I know that you will tell me/reply saying 'Oh, this would corrupt ### entire account numbering system', and 'ROBLOX would never #### ### time to do this!'. This may sound a bit overboard, but still. I think the amount of names that are taken on ROBLOX is.. well.. a lot of them. I do know this makes ROBLOX proud to have many players on its site, though, but whenever you want to change your name, there is already an inactive account from 2006-2010 from that time that was never used, maybe just for 30 minutes or so. Can it be that ROBLOX deletes inactive accounts that reach a certain limit? Maybe after 6 months-1 year of inactivity, the account gets deleted? We do want an active player base on ROBLOX, not just a bunch of old accounts that interfere with the name changing system. I know this may also scramble up ROBLOX account numbers, but maybe you could program it so whenever an old account gets deleted all of the other accounts ahead of it move back by 1. Again, this might not work due to ### size of this suggestion. But maybe, one day.

I would not mind this - Although for an account to be deleted it should match ### following. - Has been inactive for X amount of time. (At least 2 years) - ### account has never had any form of builders club membership. - ### account has less than X amount of place visits. - ### account has less than X amount of forum posts - etc. ### above requirements simply mean that only abandoned accounts are removed. Removing a user ### has been a paying customer or provided content for ### website (Such as clothing or games) should never be removed as they may want to return - And have a right to do so. --RitchUK

1) When accounts are deleted, names are still there. 2) What about all the things they did like create certain items, or games? How can there be 2+ games or items under the same name? 3) What if they want to come back? 4) What about legendary accounts like "Miked" and "telamon" Do we really want some 5 year old to have that name? ## ###### #### they would all be taken by namesnips. "We do want an active player base on ROBLOX, not just a bunch of old accounts" 1) says who? 2) Deleting the accounts doesn't mean there are more active players.
