1 edit | When an account hasn't logged in for a long period of time (I believe it's 180 days but may be a year), that account name becomes available for others to choose. When another account chooses that name, the original name is changed to having a number at the end. That's my guess as to what happened, since there's now a steevo2 account here which signed up last month. -- Female monkeys often utter loud, distinctive calls before, during or after sex.. |

| reply to steevo My guess would be that account inactivity led to your username being made available to someone else. No activity for a year and usernames are up for grabs. I think the system (or Justin) just appends your old name by some numeric to keep the account for you. No one's account is terminated by inactivity, but usernames do become available for use by someone else after a year. -- If it's true that we learn from our mistakes, MENSA should honor me with their highest award! |

| reply to nfx said by nfx :It's "ste evo", not steveo. The new steevo2 Yes, that's the account, the one that joined last month. Thanks. Apparently that account took the "steevo" name because it had become available. The name became available because the previous "sttevo" account (the one that was renamed steevo had not logged in in a certain amount of time (I believe this is 180 days): »Site FAQ »When do accounts expire?
If the current steevo2 account does not log in for 180 days, the name will be available to others again. -- Female monkeys often utter loud, distinctive calls before, during or after sex.. |
