Hi guys, I am a recently new member, and I stared my own game making business called KikiGames, however, it seems the username on here is already taken, but it looks as if it is a ghost user. Is there any way I could claim this username somehow? Can the person be contacted or kicked off the site if they are not active, so the username becomes available again? I became a supporter so i can change my username, and am very disappointed now.
Best
Kiki

Huh? Not sure what you mean. Was I out of line? I am only new here, so feel free to correct me constructively, but your message was not really helpful.

2. Nobody would do it.
3. This is not Twitter.
Actually no, you can claim a username if whoever has it didn't do jack shit with their profile. I've had it done before.

@tomfulp
also, @kikigames is brand new. The user signed up in 2013. you want to take away someone username because they were inactive? how do you know they were inactive?
I went ahead and transferred the name - the other account never did anything past signing up in 2013 and this account is actually making and releasing games under the KikiGames name. This sort of thing is case by case.

An apology to Kikigames would be a good idea.

lol
for being correct, then go ahead. I don't give a fuck.
Whatever you say.
Although you're not correct, since Tom changed his name ...

Why are people's first instinct to be jerks when they are asking an honest question.

Apology wasn't for that, it would be for acting an ass towards a genuine question. But, whatevs.
This is Tom's website so he could do whatever he want,
Good keep that in mind before you fly off the handle.
and I understand that. But taking someone else effort, even for simple thing like a mere name, is absurd. Morally this is wrong. My point still stands.
A private website decide to grant someone a username who is genuinely using it over a person who signed up and forgot about it. Oh the horror.

Double lol. Mods don't ban just because your opinion doesn't agree with the mass. We will, however, laugh.
