This is going to take probable 3-4 weeks to get all of the inactive accounts as there are a lot of them and I don't want to kill the servers doing this.

As always you can see what usernames are available here.

    You really don't think it's a big deal that people who I don't know have my email address and are using it for things??

      How are they using your email address? They typed your email address on a website. They do not have ACCESS to your EMAIL.

        I know they don't have access to it, but I don't like people using my things.

          Then why do you have your e-mail public in your profile? That's how they got it.

            Well, I didn't think people were going to use it - I had it up for contact purposes. This kind of thing never happens on livejournal.

              You can set it to be viewable to "friends only"

              It's your responsibility to manage what information you allow to be accessible to the public. I guarantee things like this have happened on other sites before, it just didn't happen to you, necessarily. It's not Squeaky's fault, nor does it have anything to do with IJ. Calm yourself, hide your e-mail, and let those other accounts get purged if you don't want anything to do with them. Not hard, dude.
