Just commenting back here to say -- the number of people with only a few unwanted accounts writing in (and referencing this entry) has gotten pretty large, and a combination of the process being super manual (I'm not kidding, it takes me at least half an hour to do each request, more depending on how many are in the batch) and us having extremely limited resources (especially since I've recently had hand surgery that sharply limits the amount of time I can spend typing) means that we just can't continue doing this for everyone who asks.

From here on out, I'll be reserving the rename offer only for people who have an extremely large number of accounts registered and feel as though they may qualify under the anti-username-squatting policies we're still developing when they're put into effect. (I'm not going to define numbers, since that always results in people trying to game the system, but in general, we're talking at least three digits in terms of registered accounts.) We can't, unfortunately, keep offering the service to people who only have a handful of usernames they don't want anymore -- those people should delete the accounts and wait for them to be purged instead.

If you don't have an account you can create one now.
