  I changed my blog address from fictionalfantasy.wordpress.com to shadowsilluminated.wordpress.com, but I didn’t realize that doing so would completely stop me from using fictionalfantasy as a domain name again. There was nothing that said it would be permanently deleted so that no one can use it again. I wanted to link that to my new site address to direct people there.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  fictionalfantasy.wordpress.com is no longer available.

  The authors have deleted this site.

  There actually IS apparently a warning during the process, but I’m afraid it’s too late now. This is why I personally NEVER recommend changing the blog address; I say just register a new blog and have two.

  And people seem to click through the warnings – even on the real in your face steps including an email with a click here to confirm link when deleting a blog

  Well that is extremely depressing. Thanks for the clarification!

  Sorry about that. At WP.com deleted, no matter what you deleted, is permanent and irreversible.
