People could use it to impersonate users who deleted þeir account

it's just a username, the og user would tell them

Þe og user deleted þeir account

what if they notice the deleted acc and new acc used the same email, and they let only that acc use that username?

People could find out someone's email by hacking or tricking þem

not too easy

It's definitely possible

yeah i just want my old user back tho
this one feels weird even tho its similar

Might only take some time to release the name. I think if you change your username, you have to wait a month before you can change it again, or even back to the old name.

There might be a similar rule in place here, for example if someone's account gets deleted without their knowledge, it gives them time to recover it.

damn i changed my ueser

Well, if you can't wait to see if your old name gets released after a month, why not change it to Ape_Fan?

I hate sticking numbers or Xs on the ends of my names, I much prefer to use an underscore in the middle when necessary and possible, otherwise I'll just come up with another name entirely.

just got done introducing myself to msmg and if i change my user ill get saturned again
