The Facebook stuff is probably a red herring here. If there was activity on the account, I bet this would never have happened.
- cheriot 13y agoGetting tagged by friends and family should factor in somehow. Even if the wife wasn't logging in, people following her were getting content and the people tagger her were keeping their photos organized.
- praeivis 13y agoThat outdated info and impossible to get inactive username anymore since 2011.
- threedaymonk 13y agoI personally know someone who acquired an inactive username within the last year. You might need connections: this individual used to work at Twitter.
- nedwin 13y agoYou definitely need connections.
