Accounts-queue wiped
 

The accounts queue (holds accounts which people want to create but never send back an email) which contained more than 300 thousand entries has been wiped so that many account names which were blocked before can be used now.

Excellent. Now to wipe the other 600 thousand trial acccounts that have been used once in 2001 :)

Gg.

300,000? Holy Christ.

Too bad you're limited to minimum 5 characters. :P

No offense but there wouldn't have been as many there waiting for a response email if we had ever got an email to respond to in the first place. Then when one goes to support to find out why they are getting no response, they get no response. A vicious circle.

A bad idea.

We have pre-account nerf accounts :-D... To Ebay!

But seriously 5 chars? thats not many at all, should make it 8

Mafukie is 7. ;)

the wipe has been made. now is your chance to snag that cool account name that was already taken!

Says someone with 4 characters in the account name ;)
It is possible to contact an admin (support center) to create shorter account names if its really about life and death.

I know, I was just joking. Anyway, there wans't always a minimum 5 character limit! :P

Whee I got Curtis, even though I had it before but lost it.

It's always life and death with Graal :rolleyes:

Thats hillarious...
You should have the queue cleared every month, or the acct names after no response for 48 hours. Would that be better?
And, can spaces be used in acct names? I believe the first time I tried it a few years ago it didn't work...
