Can I reuse my username if I delete my account?

I am considering to start off again with a clean slate with a new account, but I was wondering if I delete this account, @UnchainedFantasy, could I use the username again with my new account?

Thank you everyone who replied!

No, usernames aren't recycled because someone might think they are they old user.

No you can't, once a Username is used it can never be used again.

No, as the accounts api will still exist, and usernames aren't recycled, sorry.

No, the ST doesn't have the ability to reuse usernames because it would be very confusing, hard to keep track of, and it would also be easy for someone to impersonate someone else. It also would mean that all of the projects a deleted account had would also get deleted which is unfortunate in many ways.

Usernames are only recycleable if someone has their username changed

Out of curiosity, how do you know this?
