Many names have a bad reputation, so i wouldnt recoomned to anybody to use old names, they could get negged and banned by some "enemy" members of that username. And for your username you should contact Intmon and ask him nicely and explain the situation. Also i would suggest that every account that is being brought back is being set to deafult. 0 posts and 15 AP's. Intmon said that olod usernames won't be re-activated again because of the ratman/creative, insident. But you could PM him and ask him.

I agree with MemorY, i would hate to see some n00bie given any "Banned" account, as there is a reason why members get "Banned".
So i think that it's a good idea that these user names/handles should NOT be brought back into existence..
I know that with a past account, i DID get into Mischief, so i'd really hate for that account to be re-activated for any reason, as it's just got a bad reputation stuck to it.
And i'd hate for some inocent n00bie to cop the flack so to speak, so i support "Banned" accounts stay "Banned".


cheers
