Can I have a Suspended/Inactive members name?

No, a Suspended/Inactive members account will not be forced to have their name changed so that someone else can have that name. The only exception to this is through the Gold Gifter + perk after having gifted 100 users, by which the user is able to, once every six months claim a Suspended/Inactive username provided the account meets secondary conditions.

How many times can I gift gold?

You are only allowed to give twenty-five (25) people Gold each subscription period. This is a safety precaution for the members, and helps to reduce the chance of fraud or abuse. We don't want the entire TTG community to have gold because someone had a stolen PayPal account and was gifting it to everyone that they could. This would be bad for all parties involved, so we set the limit to twenty-five (25). Once the subscription period is over, you will then be allowed to gift twenty-five (25) more people in the continuing subscription period.
