  Hi, I am trying to change my wordpress domain from exstrike4.wordpress.com to exstrikefour.wordpress.com

  Basically long story short

  Made spyingsquid.wordpress.com -> change domain to exstrikefour.wordpress.com -> deleted site and the email attached to it -> made a new email with intention to use exstrikefour.wordpress.com -> found out I can’t do that so settled on exstrike4.wordpress.com

  Is there a way I can prove I was the original user of exstrikefour.wordpress.com and if so can I get that domain back somehow?

  Thanks.

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

  Oh no! Sorry to be telling this, but I’m afraid your domain exstrikefour.wordpress.com is now gone. This happened because you deleted the blog, and once a blog/domain is deleted, it cannot be used again ever, not even by its original owners.

  You do get a warning when deleting a domain, and it’s always a good idea to just change the domain with the option of keeping the previous one. One will continue to have access to it in case they decide to use it again.

  Oh bummer. Oh well I’ll just continue on with my current domain. I was just wondering about the options to get back the old one.

  Thanks for the help!
