Abandoned Username
fuchs
Okay, go to the
fuchs-LJaccount. Tell me, will this user EVER use this account?
LJsupport seems to think so:
"...there is no way to make an exception to the rules regarding seemingly abandoned
accounts. LiveJournal policy on abandoned accounts exists to protect your journals as
well as everyone elses. If you were suddenly without internet access for an extended
period of time, then you would want to know that your journal would be safe until you
could access it again."
So the name is out of the question. Wanna hear my opinion?
In this case? Utter bullshit

Scheint jedenfalls dieselbe Person zu sein, die hier http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbrainz-style/2005-July/000285.html was geschrieben hat. Jedenfalls passt der Name und er nennt sich auch 'Fuchs'. Scheint im übrigen auch deutschsprachig zu sein, wenn ich einige andere Suchergebnisse zu dem Namen richtig interpretiere.
Vielleicht ist er ja bereit sein LJ freizugeben... im schlechtesten Fall fängt er tatsächlich an es zu nutzen... oder will Geld dafür sehen.

Vielleicht willst du ja jetzt noch mal dein Glück versuchen. Versuchs mit:
bjkro ät gmx.de oder
fox.box ät gmail.com

Ja, hatte ich auch, damals.
Mal sehen.

Und DA ist LJ nicht bereit, den Account freizugeben?
*Kopfschüttel*

P.S.: Andere Frage - heißt "0 Entries" in jedem Fall, daß nichts drinsteht, oder vielleicht nur, daß es keinerlei öffentliche Einträge gibt? Wenn das der Fall wäre, könnte es ja sein, daß der Bursche das ganze als privates Tagebuch statt als Mitteilungs-Plattform nutzt und hunderte von Privateinträgen da herumliegen hat, die nur keiner zu Gesicht bekommt... ;-)

I can understand that they have this rule, and will not make an exception for anyone, because otherwise, everybody and their mother will come running and ask for this and that name released.

They can't just change the rules after so many years without pissing a lot of people of. And the issue is obviously not pressing enough to risk that.

I guess it's bad luck for me that there weren't more people snagging good short usernames that they never ever used again.
I whined about this four years ago and I'll probably do so again four years from now. When he still won't have used it.
Anyway, I chose another name for now.
