Custom URL Reset after 1-2 Years of Inactivity
Hey,
i've already written this suggestion to steam-support. They said they will pass it to valve and they gave me the link to this forum of suggestions/ideas.



My Idea:
// Reset the Custom-URL after a long time of inactivity //

A Custom-URL is a great idea, it's the easy way to tell friends or other people how to find your profile. A lot of URL's are in use, but the 'owner' does not use it.

I checked so many Custom-URL's and the most of them was not available.
No problem, but if the steam-user's last activity was one or two years ago, he obviously does not need a Custom-URL.

It would be great, if this URL will available again when it's not needed.



Just an idea, but would make sense.

Regards, macaroni man aka. titus

Why do you hashtag kiddies even want my URL in the first place? ♥♥♥♥ off! You can't have it.

I picked it because I wanted it, and now I'M the one using it, and I will continue to be using it for a very long time, even if I don't log into Steam for a while doesn't mean I suddenly stop using the identification Steam uses to link others to my personal account.

Emphasis on Personal Account. Not your account. Not Justine Bieber's account. My personal steam account that is bound to me personally, and nobody else.

It's as simple as that.

---

I use it for others to be able to find me.

The fact that you hashtag kiddies consistently call it a "vanity url" instead of a custom url, which is what it is actually called, makes it clear as day what YOU want it for.

First of all, really nice of you calling every one and blaming someone on what one guy said, second of all no one here said they want your URL, there many many more urls out there, and at times some will like to get something nice that fits there name, or something
If a user really stops using it, why dose he need to keep it?

I understand in cSg|mc-Hotsauce case, but over all for many others? not really
I'd really like "BlueberryPoptart" but someone has it already so I had to choose theblueberrypoptart. :*(

It has been known as a vanity URL for decades. Look it up.

Also, no one wants anything of yours. Almost all of us do not want what the OP wants. Stay away from our URLs.

That sounds like a challenge.

I can see that causing a lot of trouble.

Lets say someone has their custom link plastered all over the place for some reason, say...a for a buisness, youtuber or Twitch.

If they stop for a few years, then someone takes that "famous" profile link and uses it for their own, horrible and offensive profile, then all those links now direct to that profile instead of the original profile.

I can see too many issues with allowing that.

Well then maybe also involve activetiy of the URL? and some really long time
Lets say if the User did not login, and the URL was not used by no one for 10 years?

Why 10 year? Why would it matter in 10 years?

Take

I'd really like "BlueberryPoptart" but someone has it already so I had to choose theblueberrypoptart. :*(

for example. In 10 years, would anyone still want that profile url?

May as well just leave it the way it is.

Famous streamer/e-Athlete (how are they even called?) gets VAC'd. One or two years later someone grabs the cURL and claims "Hey guys, Valve has finally given me my account back. Thanks for staying true, please donate skins" ... you know the drill ...

Okay, I changed my mind. They should totally implement that.
On an unrelated note: does someone know some famous guy or preferrable gal who got vac'd lately?

Its a long time?
And i do not really get what you mean with the second part, i mean maybe yes maybe not, but remember i am talking abut 10 years of an inactive user/url
That can be a hell of a long time

Over all i am thinking abut what will go on later, we may not need it some day, but as long as we use these system and we do not know of a new one coming later i do think you need to think abut what can be possible
Personally i don't care much on it, there is no URL i will take most likely, but these is not the first time i seen a post like these, and i am sure there many inactive url accounts that someone else may want to use the same one

:D:
But really now first of all will anyone remember a Streamer that was inactive for 10 years?
Second remember again i said inactive url and user
That means that as long as someone uses that URL it will not be taken
And if someone did not use it for 10 years, you think out of the blue 10 years later someone will use it to find that account?
I find that hard to believe also a Streamer that will not be frogten after 10 years is most likely just going to make a new account, and change his URLs every where to a new one there, or simply "move" his existing one

Also if we also use the used URL path, even @cSg|mc-Hotsauce can keep URL there without login, as he just has to go into that profile once in 10 years
