This is the new norm now that these web services are no longer a niche product. Some kind of set standard for inactivity would be nice so users are aware of when they are in danger of losing their username. I know many who set out to register popular Twitter and Soundcloud names when those services launched just so they could sit on them and possibly make a buck. Those username policies are out there to combat this kind of behavior but it's crummy to see when those policies actually affect legitimate users.
