ID 跟别人重复是一件非常尴尬的事情。尤其是当你想出一个自认为“绝妙”的 ID ，然而却被别人捷足先登的时候。但 GitHub 的 Name Squatting Policy 允许 inactive 的用户名被收回，然后重新被注册。
几年注册 GitHub 的时候，发现 @rocka 这个用户名被注册了，虽然很失望，但是也只能放弃这个念想。再仔细看一下那个用户的主页，虽然注册时间很早（2011 年），但是没有一个 Commit 、 Repository ，甚至连一个 Following 都没有。
哇，说不定我能拿回 @rocka 呢，于是赶快 Contact a human 。
Hi,
I'm enquiring about whether username rocka can be released? The user who has registered that username doesn't look to have any activity. Seeing as I own the domain `rocka.me` and [npm account](https://www.npmjs.com/~rocka).
Would just like to know whether this would be possible.
Regards, Rocka
很快，大约过了不到 10 分钟，邮箱里就收到了回复：
Hey Rocka,
You are in luck — we have classified the Rocka account as inactive and released the username for you to claim, as per our Name Squatting Policy:

Be quick, as the username is now publicly available!

Thanks,

哇，简直喜出望外。于是把自己的 username 改成了 rocka ，新建一个 Organization @Rocket1184 ，然后把一些老旧的仓库 Transfer 过去，哈哈哈，我重新做人啦～
