Plutonium

DirkRockface Well thats a shame, I swear I thought I did verify the account right after I made it all those years ago. I assumed that just making my account they'd still be able to email me. Thanks for the information.

My username used to be "Red". I was super stoked when I was able to get a name like that when I first made this account back around when plutonium started. But due to a really busy schedule and life situations I haven't been on in quite some time. Just logged in today after a little over a year just to find my username automatically changed with absolutely no warning via email or plutonium news in relation to name changes for inactive accounts. I do understand that It does make sense for usernames to be available again to others who are either new, or grant the opportunity for someone else who has invested a lot of time in the community to obtain the name they always wanted from an account that hasn't been active at all.

With all that being said I am disappointed to see my username gone of course, I do think there should be an automatic system in place for emails to be sent to accounts who have been inactive for a good amount of time, to at least warn them that there name will be taken if actions aren't taken after a certain amount of time of inactivity.
