Imagine this, you want to create a simple server, but every name is taken. So you have to choose LifestealSMP124P for your server name.

Why not just rename old servers to a random string of characters after 6 months of no one joining the server. This would free up space for names and you could finally name your lifesteal innovation "LifestealSMP" instead of "LifestealSMP124P".

Fire idea

that could get rid of a lot of work someones done on a server
I only hop on every once in a while to work on my server as a hobby, sometimes not going back to it for a month. After a month the server's name should be available for others to take instead
after 6 months or more deleting a server would probably be fine, by then it would be dead and not being worked on

#

and people should be able to delete their server not just reset it

I'm thinking an year not a month

I wouldn’t remove servers at all, only just rename

rename them to a random string of numbers after 1.5 years of nobody joining

But i would do after 6 months

nuh uh. if people care for their servers they should just start them up after some time

1.5y is reasonable

1 month way to short. I think 6 months is fine as long as you get a warning that your server server is about to get taken. Maybe a msg in the mh panel and an email

#

6 months seems most reasonable yea

naive estuary
#

I guess 6 months is also fine if it's just renaming it to a random number

#

and i have spent 5 months working on it

This needs to be implemented.. You can't even create a good server name now right now because almost all of them are taken and most of them are inactive, unused, forgotten servers

the thing is i have 6 servers

#

and work on all of them

#

but not all at once

#

just rename it to a random string of numbers instead of deleting, easy

inner flower

I agree again

I think 1 month is dumb, but servers that haven't had a player on for over a year should 100% get a deactivated status

#

should be able to reactivate from the dashboard
