    I noticed that Omega321's last post was on The 28th of Feb 2014.Is it possible for me to take that handle.I am reaching out to the moderators.Such a great handle going to waste.

    I doubt it. The account may be inactieve rather than deleted (actually, if you can still see the post count it’s probably still there). Even if it were gone, I think it’s kinda dubious to assume someone else’s handle.

    Part of the fun is creating your own online identity... I can’t imagine why you would want someone else’s - just be creative and be ‘yourself’ !

    I was born in the 1950s so I'm (quite) old. You can't have my handle. Nyah, nyah, nyah :p

    Some very creative members on OF.
    Guess I'm just plain lazy.
