Can a person transfer their WordPress domain name to me?
-
I want to start a WordPress blog but the name/domain I want to use is already taken. The person only posted one entry, and this was several years ago. Can I contact this person and ask him to give me his wordpress domain? How would the transfer happen?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no expiration date on blogs unused or otherwise. If you can make contact on your own with the owner of an unused blog then 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.
