There is already someone with the username gay - here. They have made forum posts, so their name cannot be taken. Staff will free up usernames only if the account with the name has no pets and no forum posts - if they have even one pet or one forum post, then they will not free that name for anyone. Also, if you do find a username you want and said user does not have any pets or forum posts, then you should send in a help ticket rather than post in the help forum, since this board is more for help from other users - if you have an issue or something only staff can help with, a help ticket is the best way to go.
