Taking over an existing Twitter account? - GoFuckYourself.com

Jayvis · 08-22-2011, 12:22 PM

Has anyone successfully done so? The username "jayvis" is taken on twitter... Not really a big deal but it would be nice to have for myself. Of course I don't have a trademark on it but is there anyway to take this account over despite that? It seems dormant, do I even have the slightest chance?

Thanks for the help and I'm sure the hate lol.

Right I obviously understand that, I just figured there may be a small chance at taking this one over in case anyone here has done something similar...

If the twitter account is inactive for more then 6 months then you have a chance

You can read more about it in this article. I cant post links yet so delete the * signs to get the link

Just wanted to give you guys a quick update... thanks to GFY's awesome advice I was able to overtake the account I wanted! I could not be any happier! Thanks.

ive had some decent luck getting twitter names that are considered inactive

use this form : http://twitter.zendesk.com/requests/new

in the drop down field go to inactive account

and put in the other fields about how it is a name you use online and show some sort of proof that it is of use to you and they will kill the account and it will be open for registration.

im not so sure about how true the inactive for 6 months that was stated in this thread is.

The only names that i could ever get released had last post dates of 2007 anything after that was never responded to and if the account never hada post it was never responded to aswell
