To put this into terms of why bnet does it, and why paul would do it.
Bnet does it to clear room and wipe out items so the game does not get over flooded with the same item.
Paul would do this, because those accounts that aren't in use, might have fg on them.
Exterminating the fg - paul might like.
Opening the name up - other jspers might like.
And sending an email to original email they had the account signed up to, that is one of the purposes you register an email to the account.
Also, add to the suggestion - there be a 30day wait in between, if the user comes back and reply's to the PM saying they are using jsp again, then the name stays with them.
If they do not come back in that 30days - then the name is up for grabs.
....
excellent idea!
now the kid who just got back from Iraq checks his email to find out this his long lost diablo 2 jsp account, which he dreamed of going back to when he got home --- with its easy to kill fallen and pretty looking act 3 --- sure he was afraid to play act 2 -- but act 3... it will be glorious!
how wonderful!!!
... oh shit... some little boy who can't come up with a half decent name has asked that my d2jsp account be removed so he can have my name... what the hell!? i got that name in 2004, before i went to college!!
well... i guess little boys will be little boys
real suggestion:
cut the bump timer to 15 minutes -- have an automatic app that locks you from posting for an hour if you reply to the same topic twice without another in between
now no more stupid bumps looking for a p whatever the fuck you can't find in a night pushing my little iso ber thread
and then i can bump again in 15~ -- way better than waiting for more hours to make my nigma
