Closing Account - Nickname

Hello all. I'm considering closing my account as I want to fully concentrate on some important life tasks. My question is: granted that no one has taken it in the meanwhile, would it be possible to re-register in the future with the same nickname? Or would the server recognize that an user with that nickname already existed, therefore not allowing me to? Not a big deal, but I'm kind of affectionate to this one, heh.
Thanks in advance,
Leviair

(p.s. sorry if that's in the FAQs and I missed it)
No, that's why my username is now dorhinj1 and not dorhinj.
As long as you need to do more important things in life than chess, don't sign in and let your account for what it is.
You don't have to close it.
When you want to play again, your account will be ready for it.
Maybe lichess should add an option to suspend your account for a period of time, just like some betting sites do.
[EDIT] Chess can be more addictive than betting.
