Okay Bungie, define "unique".

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

The combination you have chosen has already been selected for use.

Of course there are limitations. Don't quote me on this, but an account is deleted from the server after six months of inactivity, and eligible for reuse after an additional six months. I remember reading that off one of Acrhonos' posts, but I could be mistaken.

Anything else you want clarified on the matter?

unique/yooo'neek/

Being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else

Basically, it's "unique" if it doesn't already exist on the site.

What name are you after?
I type in fairly simple names, and apparently it's not cool enough to use on Bnet. I look them up, and they're not even taken. I don't get it.

Try clearing your history/Cookies. Then try again.
That's not going to do anything.

I suspect llamas are secretly wizards. I <3 poptarts n' milk. I like me. Grimick is defined as: a logical parodox, the act of funnaling a potato down your throat, and a deliciously flavored muffin (with pecons and blueberries). Norway is the Swedish word for 'moron'. My sister has cancer, so i get to use handicap parking and cut small children in line at Disneyland.

You need something so incredibly novel that it makes other user's heads explode! Or else you need to choose something else :/

Google Define is more than happy to help. Anyway it basically means that the desired username is taken and you should choose one which is not currently used.

"We live in a special time; the only time where we can observationally verify that we live in a very special time" - Lawrence Krauss.

I was a finalist :P

The weird thing is, the most obvious words which one thinks would already be taken, are not. I remember a user - who made their account last year - had Science as a username. In fact, after a quick search, the word "Greetings" has yet to be taken, too.

If you are watching this you have clicked on my profile or stolen this. I dont know why you would do that...

About me? I love Astronomy, I like to play guitar and watch anime. My future lies in Astronomy and so does the future of all of humanity. You should join my Astronomy group Space Explorers.

Of course there are limitations. Don't quote me on this, but an account is deleted from the server after six months of inactivity, and eligible for reuse after an additional six months. I remember reading that off one of Acrhonos' posts, but I could be mistaken.

I am pretty sure accounts don't get auto-deleted anymore. You can now see accounts that are over a year old which hasn't been deleted. I have heard that Achronos did it for some reason I can't remember ATM.

The problem with it of course is that you will eventually run out of good names.

Bricypoo's custom user title = Ultra Lame Thread Maker


Posted by: True Underdog
Only after we ban Bricypoo.

I Thought the automatic account deletion system was turned off?

Of course I may be wrong, it is 6 Am and I haven't gone to sleep yet...

Check out my Soundcloud account to hear some of my music.
Here's my twitter, in the off-chance you want that too.

Bye.

I think I remember reading a few years ago that if a user doesn't complete the sign-up registration but has chosen a name, there won't be any way to find the profile even though the name is taken. So it's possible your typing in a name that someone tried to take but didn't complete the form. :(

Basically it is just saying that there is a user on bungie.net with that username already.

Did you try searching in the searchbar with the name you were going to use, to see if there was a person with that name already?
