Disclaimer that I am aware that this has already been suggested, but has stayed as a "planned" suggestion for a decade now. I think its totally reasonable to let people keep their account name even if they are inactive since people take breaks from being online, however, there should be a time limit. After about 3-5 years of not a single login, the user should get an email warning them that their username might be publicly available again if they do not take action. I personally really want to change my username to not have any numbers in it, but the version that I want is taken by an account that (as far as I know) has had no activity in the past 5 years. They have no badges, no vip/mod roles in any chats, no profile picture, and nothing on their profile in general. Additionally, they have not answered the whisper I sent them years ago. I think as a platform its unfortunate to have majority of the short/underscore-free/number-free usernames all be taken by people who do not even use the website anymore. This also leads to a lack of simplicity among names, since most people signing up for twitch nowadays have to add several numbers, underscores, or duplicate letters to their usernames. Indirectly, this leads to sightly more struggle to grow as creator especially as an affiliate, since your username might not be as recognizable or memorizable as you need it to be. I also suggest making usernames of banned accounts available, with the exception of usernames who were banned for the content of the username itself. There are several twitch account names who were banned who have voided a name forever. I would add a cooldown of a couple years so people don't mistakenly think that said user was unbanned, but again, the lack of freeing up these names leads to the problem of unique, simple usernames all being taken. Thank you!
