because of the limited number of names, my Yahoo name could be reused 
Limited number of names?I have done nothing on Yahoo in last couple of years, went to the Yahoo account deletion page, and read in the cautionary note that
I guess they've never heard of Rap music. 
Limited number of names?
Bunny, are you a Rapper?
Is Gmail better? I think you can transfer all your yahoo mail over yonder.
I thought gmail had generally been the replacement for most peoples emails over the last however many years, Yeah i know there are others out there and people do use them but i'd say Gmail was probably the most common, It is the one i use personally.
Probably just a scare tactic, I really doubt they would ever allow your "exact" name to be used again.Folks, the real issue is misuse of my Yahoo name if it is reused
It could lead to a reuse of my Yahoo email address
I've had a Yahoo account for a billion years. I use it for the customized home page and I used to participate in a mainframe-oriented Yahoo group that went away with the rest of the groups. I can't remember the last time I checked my Yahoo mail. It's just there and I pretty much ignore it. Someday it will probably die and I won't miss it.Well, scare tactic or otherwise, it is scary in my case.
I was active on Yahoo in its heyday and even created a special interest group there. But Yahoo closed down all groups a couple of years ago (the special interest group migrated elsewhere) and along with the general decline of Yahoo, my Yahoo account/email address became completely dormant since then. However, it WAS quite visible.
Eventually, everything fades, even on the net. Maybe it is a matter of how long to wait to get rid of the dead mouse
