  1. Try to change your username and see if it errors.
  2. Search for the username using the search feature on the site.
  3. Navigate directly to the user’s profile and see if it returns a user.

In your case, the third option does indeed return a user, so yes, it’s taken.

They have not been online in 9 months. Am I allowed to take the name if they have been inactive for an extended period of time.

That is up to the discretion of site staff.

The rule is they have to have not been online in over 6 months (✓) and have 0 submitted runs (×). No can do, sorry.

You should use a neutral pronoun if you don’t know the gender. It is not a great thing if you automatically assume that everyone online is a he/him
