Nope. O_o It's not. Are you sure you didn't type 'feather' by mistake? That one was never available. But feathers is still here - I was just in it about two minutes ago.

I had a pet named Rent from the last clearing...I've since then given him to a friend, but he's fine.

What an awesome name! Anyone else have name ideas? Somebody created my name for a pet 9 hours ago, I feel left out.

It's crazy, the old one used to be a Chia. Now it's a Lupe with the same petpage dissing my name.

If only I had created Jackie a little sooner...I had to add 2 underscores to her name just because of a red Kacheek.

Zero! · **Posted:** Wed Sep 01, 2004 8:50 pm

YEAH!!! I got a pet named Rockman (Megaman in Japanese)!!! X3

Now I just need to ditch a pet in my secondary account, transfer him to that, and it's all good.

There IS a shortage of good names. I wish they did clean out the old officially. It would be extra cool if old account items got donated to the money tree. Get items recirculated. Would NEVER happen, though.

I agree with you there, stampsyne. I know that there are very rare plushies sitting in frozen accounts--and boy, would I like to chance to get one.

By the way, the last time this happened, I made an account and a pet name with a "recycled name"--and my husband and daughter made pet names with "recycled names" and none of us ever got frozen for doing so. I think the key is to not act crazy when you get the new account/pet name--don't transfer lots of items or nps to it and don't have more than the 5 accounts allowed by the TOC.

Yeah, I created a pet with a cleared name, and it already had a description. It was very odd

I made one too, Creed the Chia...it had an old description and I dumped it fast. Someone told me if it inherits the old stats/abilities you will get frozen, I figured if it kept the descrip it probably was tied to n old account.

Hey, it looks like my old account name was cleared out. I'm not going to re make it though. Better to move foreward, though I am glad my old pets were deleted too instead of hanging in limbo.

I feel the need to point out to you that the last time this happened, quite a few people got frozen for taking the old usernames.

It wasn't on purpose.

They shouldn't have been frozen as this was posted by a staff member:

Well, since a staff member says it's okay...

Just since I was curious a while back, I searched for the name Linden_Ashby, to see if there was any pet with that name (Linden Ashby is the actor who plays Cameron Kirsten). It turns out that there was a Poogle with that name (albeit on holiday at Mystery Island), and, a little unhappy that it was taken, I gave it no further regard. Now I searched for it again and, guess what!
"Sorry, nothing with the name Linden_Ashby exists!"
And so, since I loved the Kougra revamp and didn't exactly want to change Cameron_Kirsten into a Kougra since I am dead-set on him being a Royalboy Acara, I've (re)created Linden_Ashby and made him a Kougra! Yay!

Quick, somebody create a pet with that name and paint it Purple.

Done.

Earlier I saw that Purple Grundo, but now it doesn't exist. What happened to it?

skizzy the wonder lizard · **Posted:** Thu Sep 02, 2004 6:06 am

this is a relief. those dancing fruits when you visited the lookup of a vacationing pet were creeeeeepy.

pyramids the skeith is now pyramids the 28-hour old lupe. glad to see it.

supRNurs · **Posted:** Thu Sep 02, 2004 7:10 am

I'm confused... what was posted by a staff member? Did you mean Chris' post or Sock's??? or something else??
I can't find the purple grundo either...
