Twitter did the same thing to me a few years back. I registered @machinima back in 2006 or so and would semi frequently post links to interesting machinima videos I liked. After a couple of years I stopped posting for a while and I guess you could consider the account “inactive” even though my Twitter client was authenticated and checked it daily for activity via api (or so I thought). A few years ago I went to post something and found I couldn’t log in.

Never got an email about it or any form of contact. They just up and gave my account to the machinima.com company.

Have you tried getting it back now that machinima.com is defunct (albeit much like the original content that got them off the ground)? I think rooster teeth probably don't want to be associated with that brand anyway.
