OK..there is a questions..
some of the users are..

Laterly, some users try to log on their accounts illegally.
They did not actual have any laptops or PC-value; however, the point was not focus on the PC-values. But, they did ensure their accounts could not be deleted or "stolen" by any other users.

They said it's stupid that someone can keep their username by logging in frequently, even if their playcount (PC) is zero. Malicious, for example, has had an account for 1 1/2 years, but has 0 forum posts and 0 playcount. :c

sorry for that..

already rewrite.

Actually, I think you guys misunderstood my opinion.
I was not saying the guy, who was marked by red font, but my stupid words that made by translation machine (My English is so poor).
By the way, the guy, the name I have mentioned was appeared in everywhere. I was not mean direct to anybody. So, I hope you can understand my apologize.

You don't need to ask, as long as no one else has the name and you have donated to osu! at least once you can change it yourself in your profile

The account Wishy has 0 play counts, just registered and never played, is there any chance to delete it?

Isn't it very cruel to remove a account the DAY that it registered....

Different interpretations of "just" there :)

Still, the account is, unfortunately, not nearly old enough. It needs to be at least 1.5 year old, apparently (yeah OP says 640 days but I have my sources).

i'm still pissed

because i waited ALMOST 640 days for a name and repeatedly asked if somebody would help me and nobody responded. i even pointed out that while they last logged in was march 9th, 2009, their last playcounts were september 2008 and MM [i think] was like "NO WAY", even though it was obvious if you looked at the playchart

but it doesn't matter now I guess because I was so annoyed I changed my name and peppy changed it back because morons were spamming it in the chat

i'm just going to leave this here even though nobody's going to care that this is the FIFTH time i've asked. i don't want to continually bitch about it [nor do I want to stop playing, as peppy suggested], but yeah. to say i'm unsatisfied is an understatement

and this is partially why it was pointless for the option to even offered if nobody is going to help if somebody wants a name that doesn't fit the criteria

It's not that I think this because it could benefit me if this was changed but, having to wait almost 2 years to be able to delete a never-used account is a little too much, I'd understand if the guy played like 50 maps and then quitted but, come on there are many accounts that were never, ever used and certainly won't really be used since the one who registered it probably doesn't even remember it's password. But it's fine, having to wait 2 years is better than not being able to get the name. xd

I meant like in a letter, the 1% of the population that still uses them~

Basically you need to have a credit card or ask your parents really nicely

I donate through my credit/debit card VIA paypal. I don't know what you're talking about.

Ah, well it is possible to link your paypal account to your bank account, so if you pay with paypal it will automaticly be taken off your bank account.

Okay, so I've just donated, now I'd like to change my name. Only question: I have a beatmap which i want to submit soon, but it still has my old name in it. Will it change automatically in the map file or will I have to do it (and is that comlicated)? Should I change my name before or after uploading the map? Sorry, I don't know much about this.^^

Yet another reason I'll be having to fork out £24 or so sooner or later.

I've regretted registering with this username the week after I registered, no idea what possessed me to register this name. e_e

So.... I wasted some of peppy's time by pm'ing him for get inactive username and did the wrong thing.
Should I post here then?
I'm willing to get this http://osu.ppy.sh/u/Takuya nickname, the owner is obvious not gonna be here anymore.

Well peppy, I'm sorry if I'm such an ignorant. I didn't see the "You can take an existing user's username if they haven't logged in for over 1.5 years, and have a playcount of under 400." and thought it needed a special way.
