Former name: Thief Noctis
Requested Name Change: Thief

Thief is already taken by this user: http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=31709
But he has 1 post, joined in 2006 (8 years ago), and hasn't posted since 2006. If this qualifies for a dead/inactive account I would appreciate the name.

(If not though, then I would like to request my name be changed to Thief Walker, thanks.)

[*]Old, inactive accounts
As a standard policy on PokéCommunity, we don't remove older/inactive accounts. However, if you have been an active member (more than 100 posts) and wish to change your name to something taken by a dead account (zero posts, pre-2010 join date, and no log in since the day they joined), send a PM to an admin with the information and we'll consider it.


[*]Small changes, fixing typos, little things!
Small changes and corrections won't count towards your limits for changing. This includes changing case (capitalization), adding/removing spaces or underscores, and removing numbers.

Ok so these two cases apply to me. My current name is BLACK0UT (With a zero) and I would like to change it to BLACKOUT (with the letter O and all CAPS.) When I made my account over 3 years ago, I was sad that someone already had the name. Just yesterday I realized that you could take the name of inactive accounts... Which made me realize that whoever made the account made it in on December 2nd, 2007 (last activity was December 3rd 2007). The person has zero posts as well. So I've been active for a while (3 Years) and I have over 100 posts, which I believe is the requirement.

Here is the link to the dead account: http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=67821

Two other concerns: I have the website set to automatically remember me so I don't need to log in every time... Will I need to reset this?
Also, Which admin should I PM This to?

Thanks for the help! I'm glad I found out about all of this!

you should be fine not resetting it. name changes don't cause you to log out.

Also, Which admin should I PM This to?

i do most of the name changes but anyone in bold italic red should help you if you message them. that said, you messaged me anyway, so this is kinda redundant now. d:

i'll get on these now

Hello; I have a question. I remade this account today, but as I was looking through my old one, I realized it's my two-year-anniversary for joining tomorrow. I'm a little ridiculous, so I'd like to delete the account and remake it tomorrow so I share the same anniversary. If I do that, will this username be unavailable?

I'm posting in this thread because if that's the case, I'd like to have my name changed to something random, i.e. any combination of letters or numbers, in order to preserve the integrity of my current un.

So, I can't request another name change yet, I still have one more month, but I'm checking names WAY early, and I wanted the name Rengar. However, this name is taken, but I can't tell if it does or does not qualify as a dead account.

You can find the account here.

They have 0 posts, and joined on October 6th, 2010. The last activity was October 10, 2010. Does this qualify? If not, then I'm sad :(

*I wish this month would go by faster...*

I've been here almost two years now, and I'm getting a little tired of how long AzaleaLightning is! :(

I looked at the members list and the name Mochi seems to be available, would it be possible for me to request my name to be changed to that?

If I could I would like a name change to Dracul please. It's an alternate account of mine, so if I could preserve elheroeoscuro by having that other account have my current username so I may switch back at any time that would be awesome! Here's a link to the account.

Thank you very much in advance!

So as I delved into this thread and researched about when I posted my last name change and It was April 8th and it is clearly 4 months after. So, I would like to change my name to Vincent. Since this http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=5367 account only posted twice and posted like on 2004. So I'm confident I can take this name.

Former Name: Thy King Slate
New Name: Vincent

yeah you can do that but to save you the hassle of rejoining i could just edit your join date manually if you'd rather. it's also probably better for us to not have posts by deleted accounts lying around

that'd be fine. i'll actually go change the limit to three-year-old accounts rather than pre-2010 since as time goes on it'll be harder to hit that requirement, haha
