    I just went to create a twitch account only to find out the name I wanted is an old Justin.tv account. Then I find out that Justin.tv has been shut down, the accounts deleted and the usernames locked. I just don't understand this. If the accounts were actively deleted after a certain date, why are the usernames locked in limbo? Please release these usernames.
