  Trying to register another blog. The domain is taken, but there’s nothing there. The owner seems to have deleted all his or hers posts. Is there any way to have this blog deleted so that I can use the url? I really want it… :?

  So if the domain is ever registered than it can never be used again? So soon every good domain will be taken because people decide to blog but then change their minds before having even written the first post.

  Weird. lol

  Please see the ‘why’ section in the following:

  ok… I thought maybe they would recycle blog names that haven’t been used for years, or at least those who have been deleted by their owners.
