  Hi there,

  The old username won’t be available for anyone else to use once you change it.

  Hope this helps! :)

  Hi there,

  The usernames, lboksmati and lboksmati1, were deleted via username changes, eight and four years ago respectively. Usernames deleted via a username change are permanently disabled, and can never be used again.

  lboksmati2 was deleted two years ago when the account was closed. Usernames deleted via an account closure can be restored for only 30 days afterwards, so this username is long past that limit and cannot be restored anymore.

  Hi there,

  As @kokkieh already mentioned, those usernames cannot be restored. You can if you like though create completely new accounts with other usernames.
