Please Expire and Recycle Unused Usernames

I think if someone does not log into their account for over a year, that the username from that account should be made available to anyone again.


Then if that original user ever does login to their account again, they should be notified that the username expired and has been taken by someone else. And then prompted to choose a new username.


It would also be nice if their was a system where we could sign up to be notified of a username we would like to use if it expires and becomes avaliable.


I think this system is only fair, that people should have the opportunity to create a username they would like to have if no one else is logging into it, as they are likely never to log into it again after a year.


And it's not too much to expect that you should have to login to your account at least once a year to keep your username.


So many thousands of desirable usernames just go to waste with the system as it is.


Thank you.

Hi Jessica, this has been asked many times over the years on here, yes users may be off for some time for various reasons RL etc and a great many return to IMVU and to their name, many users have purchased/registered their names on IMVU over time, these names cannot simply be recycled,  the only one that tend to be reused are those attached to Guest_ name users, yes there are lots of names that are sought after but they are owned at this time.
