I also noted that many of the tags I tried to get back in the Xbox Live beta test period (I was a beta) are still showing as not available, but when I try to add them as friends they show up with zero scores. I'm thinking many of these tags were parked during the OG Xbox days. Do you think MS will ever clean up the inactive tags and free up the names?

I tried out Jackson's gamertag checker (which was excellent) and I am amazed by how many really good tags are available now. I'm talking about great names without the need to add a string of numbers or special characters in the front or back. I'm actually thinking about changing mine in the new year.

If they have gone this long without clearing up their cache of useless gamertags, they probably will never do it.

Mine was 'Norris' before before I was on Live, but of course that was taken. I didn't know you could merge offline accounts, so I gave up a bunch of achievements but 'theEVOL1' is what I wanted.
I made a few boosting accounts and there were 2 tags that I tried to get that were taken. 'Turd Fergusen' is taken in any way you can think to spell it and 'SweatpantsBoner' is taken by a guy who had 90 points and hadn't been on in 2 years! lol
Other than that, all of the ones I tried were available! Scooer Whooer, ipoopedem, and ChefBoyAreUDumb.
