Username Purge (an update)

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.

  Is it a Hotmail address? If so, they recycle usernames so it's possible you just happened to register an email address someone else used here.

    No, it's a gmail account. Do they do the same thing?
    Though it doesn't make sense, I use my account all the time - why would they suddenly recycle it.

      No, I'm pretty sure Gmail doesn't do that. That's really strange that people might be using your email address to register accounts. Either way, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

        Yeah, I'll just hide my email. I thought it was weird too.
        And I was only upset because I got a notification about my account being purged because it had been inactive since January. I wasn't even here in January.
