Desired domain name taken but unused
-
My desired domain name is taken, but the owner does not appear to have used it since August 2011. Currently there is just a blank WordPress template on the page, and no links work. There is no comment box or contact info, so I don’t know how to contact the owner to inquire about purchasing it from them. Is there anything I can do?

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.
