Reminder: "Robtop has the right" does not mean he's oblidged to do it.

to clear things up for people, none of the famous inactive users are going to be deleted, because it states that RobTop has the ABILITY and CHOICE to terminate/change user information after 180 days. Does not mean the accounts will be deleted immediately.

Maybe after 180 days Robtop can send an email saying account will be terminated in like 30 days or so (since you need an email to make an account). This reminds inactive users who want to keep their accounts to touch the game again rather than open the game one day to lose all their progress.

You do know the ToS is copy-pasted from a template tons of companies use, and there's a lot of things within the ToS itself which doesn't apply to Geometry Dash whatsoever. (eg. Section 4.1 - Purchases) where it talks about... virtual items implying Geometry Dash has micro-transactions? Of course none of what the ToS says will actually get enforced.

as soon as you mentioned the fact that robtop can terminate any account, my head immediately went "robtop i swear to god if you delete michiguns account you will turn your game from one of the most popular to one of the worst"

I have mixed feelings on this. Imagine someone loses a their only device or something like this and robtop terminates their account because they’ve been inactive? What if someone has an alt account with levels on it for collabs and that gets deleted?

I'm pretty sure this would be kinda bad for the GD players who died. Especially for their friends who want to look back at their levels.

1:36 I swear something is wrong with the normal face 💀💀💀 edit: the man himself commented :D edit again: ok y’all can stop liking I’m satisfied

I think this is not a great idea I stopped playing for around 3 years, and got back into GD fairly recently, and if I had lost my name, I would have been more than furious about that A much more reasonable thing to do is send emails once per month after 100 days to remind the user to confirm or not that they still want that name Some of those short names could be unique or special to some people Edit: It's also not fair on the part of RobTop to gives names to people HE thinks deserve it, it's favoritism to the highest degree and for a game dev, that's bad

this says "no views" yet 4 people left comments? they didnt even view it??

In osu you can take a username that has been inactive for 6 months, i wonder if people would like it in gd.

the normal face

I'm glad this feature wasn't added before, and I'm not too happy with it being added now. When I was young, I didn't get to control when I got to play video games and also sometimes my parents would delete games. I played GD (various GD apps) on and off throughout the years, and sometimes wouldn't be able to touch my account for years at a time before being able to play it again. Now I don't have such problems but I recently got bored of GD and might take a long break before playing again, and I hope I won't forget about this for over 6 months and get my account deleted as a result.

I really hope that it would be possible for everyone to get an nickname from someone, kinda cool thing

I hope robtop doesn’t overhaul the anti-megahack feature.

This thing with 180 days really concerns me cuz it somewhat forces you to enter the game to not get your account renamed/deactivated/removed... If it gets removed It would really kill my desire to get better at the game cuz what's the point if its will be removed after 180 days of inactivity cuz I couldn't enter the game for whatever reason. Deactivation is more reasonable option cuz you will not loose your progress. What about renaming an account? It's complicated, but I don't want to lose my nickname at all

I don’t really think this is a good idea ngl

Imagine the person with ur name goes inactive for 179 days and just comes back everytime just so u cant get the name💀

This is a really good call from rob ngl

I haven’t played geometry dash in a long time

If someone stops using their acc in osu, “_old” will be put on their username to let someone else have the username

I have an idea for accounts: can we have multiple accounts associated with each other, so you can switch between accounts without saving it to the servers? I'd be nice for people like Colon who have 3 accounts: Colon, RobsVault, and RobsBasement (idk if there is more). And you could switch between Xcreatorgoal, Ycreatorgoal, and Zcreatorgoal without online access too, so mobile players can access multiple accounts without internet access.

We will get 2.21 before beesmas

Robtop already did it while ago on my first account, it was just inactive and 2 years After i tried to log on my acc and i saw that it got deleted

Well this was unexpected

Seeing this is SO cool because In almost no other game is the creator of the game so Involved in the community. EDIT : Ok, ok guys I get It, I was wrong lol, I now will say I like how Robtop Is like every other Indie game creator. There, happy?

Also TrideApthBear

Let’s just say goodbye to some history! There should be an inactive tag rather than being changed or terminated to still allow that username to be used

WAIT BUT WHAT ABOUT SARY

1:08 Lenny face

Wait... does it count for activity across all devices? I haven't used my old phone for GD in years

So if an account is inactive for 6 months it will get deleted? Loll

imo robtop should just introduce a system based on discriminators, like what discord used to have. It's much simpler, and I absolutely hate unique usernames.

Bro what if im on a vacation for 180 days what am I gonna do.

Maybe Robtop can do voting in the community if they want the account terminated (but he wouldn't)

RobTob is honestly the best game dev ngl

4:19 My soul is damaged.

Finally you can get the "MDK" username back

Im gonna say only one thing. Common RobTop W

I wished I could get my acc WaverPenguin but rn it is WavePenguinR because one the other one it didn't send the email since my inbox was full :( Like this comment and maybe Robtop will notice my existence

Now it's easier to get a 3 character name. And lose it

Tride also did not get to use his name

I wanted “Spider64” because I love da spider but it’s “Spider564” because someone took it :(

I wonder when amazon 2.2🤔

0:44 WHAT??? Imagine some guy just lost interest in the game and after a few years he decides to go back to the game and then POOF! their account is gone! Thats not a good idea rob

the guy that came back at 197 days 🗿

will my old account get taken? I dont think is the name of anyone who has a bigger part of the gd community

I hope RobTop makes it TheFakeSDSlayer 😂😂

Finally. You should see the bots on there…

i might finally get my name… idk how many platforms i use that are/were also used by the other fivetales.

Rubrub always goat fortnite

I don’t think the “ROBTOP RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE ANY ACCOUNT THAT HAS BEEN INACTIVE FOR 180 DAYS” will age well

This reminds me of the Mojang Microsoft account transition, lots of people without knowledge of what was happening lost their access to their account AND purchase of the game. It’s not likely Rob will be be going that hard (i doubt he will) but it just reminds of that situation

RobTop should make a “safe account” to keep the old names of the mods, so if the old accounts that had their names changed decide to come back, they can get their names back, and the mod goes back to their original one. It’s not fair to completely steal names of OG’s. Imagine finally getting back into a game you haven’t played in years, knowing you were a pioneer, actually getting active in the community only to know your nickname is now Hypno12345 lol. My nickname is Pusk. It’s not the most “stealable” name, but Ausk is scary enough for it.

so the name changes will only apply to everyone else. and not popular youtubers?

Boy, I sure do hope that no other person arises as “popular” under my name only for me to have my gd account name changed pretty much forcing me to change all my other usernames as well

I think 180days is too short but other than that I think this will overall be a good thing

just played a few levels and saved my progress just to be safe xd (hadnt played in a while)

I have so many gd accounts and im getting worried

From "Bert" to "Unknown" Sucks for him

in the search bar his normal or lobotoby face's eyes are facing opposite directions

0:57 uh huh yes 880 days

2:23 the same thing with theRealDarnoc

what happened to the normal face?

isnt this gonna be bad for my old account

No way he put a Lenny face at 69 seconds (1:09) 💀

*cough* *cough* “What?”

W change. Now, it would be cool if it was available for anyone

how do you request a name??

180 days seem really low for complete termination for the reason of just inactivity, and it also seems really weird to change the names of people that did nothing wrong just so the moderators can get shorter names

Idea: display names. You can search either by username or display name. The display name is shown by default in place of usernames.

"you'll never seen anything like that in any other game" the reason why is because most games use different ways to handle, store, keep and delete users (and user data). As for robtop deleting users. either randomly or after 6 months, yea, that might bring another issue, lets say for example John creates his account today, plays a bunch of levels for a video and then goes inactive for like 7 years. Then after 7 years, John returns back to playing gd to see what was going on and what happened. Would that affect em or any person who only plays the game like a few days, then leaves the game, then comes back to the game to only realize everything got wiped or would the person save data would be fine?

Wait wouldn't that mean that players like Michigun would also get terminated?

I guess I should start playing gd more often

I feel bad for Michigun tbh I think this wouldn’t be good for the game itself

Looking at some of the comments, i see people weren't paying attention If you're inactive for 180+ days, Rob has the right to delete your account IF NECESSARY. It won't be automatic. You can leave it for 5 years and he likely won't touch it, UNLESS he decides it's necessary, because that's his right

Now I can never leave Geometry Dash

1:07 But what’s with the Lenny face

ok so basically robtop can decide to do something to any account inactive for 180 days? lmao i have 2 inactive gd accounts i cant get back in lol so idc if rob deletes them its up to him lmao

i played gd in 2022 and stopped playing in 2023 mainly cuz of school and got back to it in june

I think inactive players with rated levels will not be deleted, because levels be deleted with player

R.I.P SARY

Im so lucky i was off for 1 year straight

TERRIBLE IDEA WHAT DO YOU MEANNNN, some people want to take breaks man this is sketchy asf

Yes

3:18 who did you block?

The only problem I have is that the name I want is just one character too long 😢

imagine he deletes michigun's account

He didnt delete my mobile account, which was offline for 4 years

Lenny in the bottom left 1:08

YourLocalGoat's real name is Wessel so he just changed it to his name on of the best leaderboard mods helped me get unbanned from gd leaderboards

3:20 b e r t

i was inactive for seven years straight. but im back in the community :D

i doubt he will just delete the accounts that already have rated levels out of nowhere

IF HE TOUCHES MICHI, SARY, OR ANY INACTIVE USERS ISTG

ToS: Reserves the right True meaning: Can What people think: Will

Hmm I honestly don’t agree with this at all. If the people who actually owned the original account want to log back in they can’t because the username won’t work… Plus the account system is so garbage it’s not like you can recover it with your email or something. The account system just needs an overhaul.

Ok it seems like lots of games say the same thing I play super cell games it says the same thing but that only goes for accounts that are not logged in

i mean just dont delete iconic or og accounts

The longest time I been away from gd like 35 days
