Blog name used but not in use?
-
Hi there, I’m looking to use a blog url/name that someone has already claimed but they have not used or made any posts on for 5 years. Is there any way to achieve this without having to pay for it? Please let me know if there is anything you can do! I would be so grateful!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no expiration date on blogs unused, reserved or otherwise. If you can make contact on your own with the owner of an unused blog via a contact form or commenting, then providing the are agreeable there is a means of a consenting blog owner to transfer the blog to another username account. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
In the case that there is no contact information Staff will not breach the privacy policy and provide you with an email address.
If you are not successful, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
