Dexek Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm very interested in the idea of display names, however I am curious about some things. First off, will older inactive accounts be free'd up? Secondly, when I try to obtain the display name I like, it is taken. However, when I search the members through the search function, no such name exists. Just curious if the search function is capable of finding the new display names, or does this mean that the name I want is from a locked or inactive account? Thanks!

Tim Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm not sure, but depending on the accounts age and last logged in you they might free up the name. Depends on the response from an Admin about it. Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexek Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 I think it would be great, but I can understand if Tip.It doesn't want to take away from its overall member count.

Kimberly Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Secondly, when I try to obtain the display name I like, it is taken. That could be someone's login name but he/she already changed his display. Not positive, though, since I don't know who you're talking about. :P As for your other questions, I can't answer them but I suspect someone will shortly.

Alright, well I'm looking for the display name "Derek". I haven't seen it post since I've been a member of these forums, nor can I tell if it's a newly taken display name, as the search function gives me no results. I just figured it was either a long inactive, or a locked account. Thanks though. |^_^| PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Oh, by the way you had sounded, I thought you meant that you couldn't find a member by that name but it still told you that the name was unavailable. My mistake. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexek Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Nevermind! I found him and his one post glory. I guess my search function was just failing on me. He joined after me too... :mellow: PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh well, thanks for the heads up I guess.
