Want a gamer tag that's taken, account appears inactive

so I know wow takes names away from accounts that have been inactive for so long, does Xbox do that too? There is a gamer tag I want, but it's taken. Account seems inactive, following one person, no gamer score, no captures, no achievements. Nothing. I sent
them a message too but i know I won't here back. How about a friendly forced name change and let me have the name?

:)

 

Guys & Girls, do the community a SOLID and vote for inactive/banned gamer tags to be recycled!

Lets be real. Nothing last forever, not even us. So why make a gamer tag attached to someone permanently? There are probably some really awesome gamer tags like "Master Chief" where the person is no longer with us(dead) or inactive and chooses to never return to xbox live. Gamer tags that are inactive should be recycled so another person or new generation of gamer can honor it and keep the gamer tag active.
There should be an option to petition for a GT that meets certain conditions. 1) no online activity for 3 years; 2) An email that goes out to the individual with the option to reply with a yay or nay to allow xbox to break the connection worth the GT; 3) of no response to the email after 90 days, the GT is automatically surrendered and made available to the person who made the petition; 4) if the GT isn't taken within 7 days after notice has been made to the petitioner, it is available for anyone to grab. No fees, other than the cost to change the GT in the first place.

So, how many of you are 10 year Xbox Live gamers?

I started with the xboxlive beta with the headset and MotoGP disk, but I currently have a new different gamer tag due to my associated Hotmail account going inactive, due to not logging into email, and thus preventing me from renewing the live account. I had to create a new account while I went through the steps of recovery for the Hotmail address. Once recovered, I simply stayed with my new gamer tag... Now associated with the old Hotmail account. :-(

 

There's no way to request a gamertag. The tag system is in use on other Microsoft services, so even if it's not being use for the Xbox, it could be in use elsewhere.

 

What other Microsoft services use the Xbox live gamer tag??

 

Xbox games for Windows outlook skype

 

Windows phone can have a gamer tag but have 0 achievement if they don't play games and yes windows phones use gamer tags too
