Domains
-
I want to register a blog with a name that has been taken already. That blog has never been used and was registered in 2010. Can you please help me shut down that page and let me use the URL I originally wanted?
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.

Also note that deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

That is incredibly stupid. In a few years blogs will be forced to have useless titles. Wouldn’t hurt the company to purge unused domains.
Not impressed, WordPress.
