Inactive usernames
Per the twitch policy, inactive usernames are recycled every 6 months. With that said, I have been vigilant for 3 years, attempting to acquire a username that has been inactive since its existence. This username is not someone that all ppl would want. its actually very similar to my twitch username minus 2 letters.
I would like the team to follow through on the policy and actually release the inactive usernames so that the streamers that actually put in work can utilize them for their own benefit, in turn for the benefit of the company

Seriously! You got people who want to spend time on your platform and you can’t even have the decency to even look at the situation. You got people in the comments saying they have been trying for over a year to get a name me included. Some have been as far back as 5 years ago. Be about your word please! Show some good faith to the people! We rock with yall but you could release a statement or something. Hopefully one of these messages will get through to yall. Be blessed!

For real the username I want the person has zero activity on that account and it is ridiculous. Please recycle usernames from inactive accounts.

It truly sucks, I've talked to Sensless's with 3 to 7 S's at the end and we have figured out that "sensless" hasn't been active in 4 years but still we can't get the name.

ahmaury commented
The twitch name i want is maury and the user has not been active for a very long time and it would really be helpful if i had the name because every one i know calls me by that name (maury) and it would be easier for them to spot me in chat when i type.

I just can’t believe twitch would even make this policy if they knew they’d never fkn follow through with it. GIVE ME MY USERNAME THAT I OWN, THANKS.

xyl0bi commented
They won’t even give me my OWN old username back because I lost the email. So instead of my username that I have EVERYWHERE else, it has a stupid zero instead of the letter o. I’ve been told for FOUR YEARS the username would be released to the pool after a year of inactivity but it’s been four years and absolutely NOTHING!

Quit being lazy ***** and "recycle" usernames more often. That's how you improve this, geniuses. I swear y'all have the dumbest policies.

Also looking to get the underscore removed from my name, account that owns my name without the underscore does not come up in twitch without directly typing in the URL, and has not been streaming for 11 years and has 5 followers. I would LOVE to know if they’ve even logged in to it in the last few years. I’d even be okay with having a period at the end of mine since it’s a common thing I do, but twitch doesn’t allow it. It sucks, but it’s going to be a waiting game unless they do something!

I would love this. Please. Someone has my username without the 'r' at the end and they haven't been active in 6 years with zero followers. I don't understand why they keep these old accounts. Anything past like 3 or 4 years should be given a warning or something. Then, if they don't respond in a good amount of time, delete the account.
It just seriously sucks for so many people. Please do something about this. -

^^this
please "recycle" (as it is called) unused usernames more often or make it possible for users (maybe once a year) to request if a desired username can be freed up -
Tiques_ commented
I'm with you! Been on the hunt for @Tiques for literally YEARS. Maybe close to a decade now. Trying to do the same for other platforms too, I use an underscore almost everywhere. Drives me nuts, especially as a streamer when trying to direct people to my account. Fingers crossed they release something soon!
