"Schooly_D" and "Schooly-D" are taken IDs on the PlayStation Network. Does that mean they're gone forever? Or is there a chance the accounts could be deactivated and the IDs released sometime in the future?

Edit: This will be the most important question you answer in your lifetime.

My brother's PSN account is still on my PS3 and it hasn't been used in a few years. You can't change your gamertag on PSN and it's obvious that they don't deactivate inactive accounts. From what I've seen for PS4, you may use your real name on the more social-focused PSN.

Schooly_Destiny?

Yeah. I went there.

Yeah, I've got the same problem. It's like there's this other world where people pose as us on PSN.

I'm not the only one! I had to go with Beorn42. I hate adding numbers…

I learned from that whole Grid 2 fiasco that someone is actively using petetheduck on the PSN. I registered pete_the_duck today, just in case. Not saying I'm going to buy a PS4, but.. just in case.

Gah! Ragashingo was taken?? Ragashingo is NEVER taken… :(

Wow. All of my handles are grabbed up, too. Go figure. I still managed to get some real estate, with potential to change if I decide to later. But right now I think I'm gonna buy a PS4. :P

I haven't been on PlayStation for years.

Just logged in today.

So no, it probably won't be deactivated.

Apparently, I am the laziest of all my dopplegangers when it comes to creative usernames.

For bringing this to my attention, PS4 is looking mighty appealing these days. Was able to lock in Chewbaccawakka without any trouble. I'm glad it's taken care of.

Meaning you guys get to learn my first name (the horror!). PSN ID is TimothyKB

They don't recycle names. It is first come, first serve.

good call, already way too late for me

I should be more bothered by my lack of originality than my lack of punctuality

Thanks for bringing this up, Schooly!

Waiting for my doubles partner to get online so we can discuss suitable names for our Guardians

I mean, why not?

Nice. Reconcilliation wasn't taken.

Close to my XBL and SteamID. But never exactly the same... grr!

Thinking of a bizarro Bluerunner telling bizarro stories to Halo.Bizarro.Org'ers makes my head hurt.

So, I tried to do a throwback to my original XBL gamertag and HBO handle padraig08 (for full story see issue #791: Everyone hates padraig08) and was told it isn't allowed. Not sure if filtered out or taken.

So I am now MrPadraig08 (as per here and twitter)

Funny story, the reason I even thought of the Mr is because Canecutter would normal greet me entering an Xbox Live Party by saying Mr.Pawdraig

I can't wait to play with all of you soon :)

I'm thinking that maybe it's time for a change. I'll keep the blue part because blue is the greatest color, much better than orange, but the runner part tied in nicely with forerunner. I need to find a Destiny tie in for a PSN name. I've got time to think about it.

The D.

Sorry.

too easy.

bluefallen?
bluetraveler? (without an s, haha)
bluehunter?

There really aren't many compound words in Destiny apparently. I can't think of a single one.

How likely do we think it is that PSN folks are flocking to XBOX.com to register their identities?

Heh. It's the thought that counts, not your resulting demise :) I'll just revive you after I kill 'em all with my SPACE MAGIC!!!

What about plain ol' Blue? That's probably what I'll be yelling anyways. "BLUE, I'm down, come revive me!" I'm guessing that's already taken? How about DBlueO? What class do you plan on choosing? Bluetitan, Bluehunter, Bluewarlock (that last one sounds pretty cool) NewBlue? BlueStation? BlueStation 4 (in case the first one was taken)? redwhiteandBLUE!!!

Lil' Blue is getting his own account for Destiny. Thing is, he's hardcore red, and will want a red-based name. We are becoming rivals.

This is how those Father-Son businesses get started and fall out and lead to a legal battle

Maybe a star theme? RedDwarf and BlueGiant

With the classes, you could switch 'em around. Titanblue, Hunterblue, Warlockblue. Or just Bluelock.

The other day he just came up to me and told me to turn from the dark side. We've had some pretty heated battles with his toy lightsabers.

And I've been ambushed with that gun Revenant gave him.

I'll take 10% royalties for all the online moneys you make using that moniker.

You're welcome, Mr. Pawdraig.

That's a pretty shitty thing to do.

Schooly_D was indeed unfortunately taken. The reply was "PSN id 'Schooly_D' must be at least Level 3 to be added to this site!"

At least the trophy system is useful for something ;)

HAVE FUN EVERYONE! XD (and make sure you read the legal soup before signing up!)

Wait. It says Ragashingo doesn't exist... Yet PSN didn't let me choose it. :(

Yes . . . Cody did it. It was definitely him.

That's what you get for including the foulest assortment of letters and numbers ever to exist into your ID.

Try:
SchoolyD
DSchooly
D_Schooly
SchoolyDee

Once you settle on a screen name the only way you can change it is to convince customer support or a mod to do it. It's a terrible policy, and I hope they change it one day.

If they somehow allow him to change it, apparently Schooly-D-, Schooly_D_ and RoboSchooly are not taken yet.

Yeah, I managed to get NsU_Soldier just fine. I'm pretty happy about that.

First try.

lol all my great inspiration for fame and glory comes from you.

I still remember getting a Bungie star from a well executed Canecutter idea.

it kept getting pissed at "g08" which I can only assume is gob.

That has to be an arrested joke somehow.

I immediately read that as "gate". Then "goat". Then I abandoned all shame and posted this.
