Re: Re: Re: Re: Old account
Greets,

For security reasons, old usernames may not be reused. When accounts are purged, the username is reserved AND the personal information within the account is removed. As such, there's no way to verify past ownership -- meaning we can not allow re-use of old usernames.

Best wishes,
~~SM
