Can I claim a (seemingly) INACTIVE WordPress.com domain?
-
Hello,
I really want styletemple.wordpress.com. When I went to check for its availability, it seems to be ‘taken’. However, there are no posts on the website, nor has there been any activity since May 2011.
Is there a way that I could now use that domain?
Thank you very much for your time :)
Cheers
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.

Contact the blog owner on your own and convince them to transfer the blog name to you. Note: WordPress.com will not help you contact the blog owner, privacy reasons.
