Does 'waiting for activation' ever time out?
-
I wanted to create a new blog, but the URL I want is taken. When I go to that URL, I see the following message:
URL.wordpress.com has not been activated yet.
If you are having problems activating your site, please contact WordPress.com Support.
I was wondering how long a blog will wait to get activated before it becomes available again for someone else to take. Does it just sit unclaimed forever, or does it actually get “released” after a certain amount of time if it’s never activated?
-
It will never become available for anyone else’s use. Usernames are never “reserved” only the blogs matching usernames are reserved. When we register a username account the matching blog is reserved for our future use. It cannot be obtained by anyone other than the person who has registered the matching username account.

I knew about usernames reserving blogs, but I don’t know how (if at all) there’s a way to tell if this is one that someone set up and never activated, or if it is automatically set up because it was someone’s username. That was why I asked. I guess I will have to find another one. Thanks.
