Addition: some of you are wondering if the old urls/accounts will be deleted, and what if they come back, well, I had the idea that if the accounts url is requested, the account won't be deleted, tumblr can change the url , for example,say if you requested dance, it would look something like this:
dance.tumblr.com to dance_old.tumblr.com
and if the user so happens to return the emailaddressand password will be the same, but the account name will change, and they will be able to change their url or keep the _old at the end of it if they want.

We just hit 500 signatures and it is clear that Tumblr can no longer ignore this dead weight clogging up their platform. They keep dodging me but they cannot pretend this massive pile of inactive accounts is anything other than a failure to manage their own site.

it's like if someone saves a campus computer to himself/herself and not even come back to it when you really need to get a research paper done. ITS RIDICULOUS.
i'm a tumblr user myself and want to change my url but someone has already taken what i wanted and has not been on for 6 years now please help
If not, the ability to at least have tumblr send a set message informing them of the request (if theyre nice im sure they would spare a few minutes doing it or at least remember about their tumblr and become active again)
Vampirefreaks.com did this thing were they deleted accounts that hadn't logged in in a good long while. They sent out warning messages to email accounts and I think they posted a warning on their homepage. either way, it was a great idea.
PLEASE, Tumblr. Having these URLs just sitting there is ABSOLUTLEY RIDICULOUS. It's completely unfair to people who still actually use Tumblr and have to settle for complicated and awkward URLs. Please please.
I really hope this is implemented
this should be done even without a petition.

You probably meant this but didn't actually say it, but there should be a minimum length the account has been inactive, probably at least 6 months or a year.Another thought, after say 2 or 3 years the blog will automatically go to the _old URL.
