Get someone elses domain
-
Hey, I started my wordpress blog like about 2 years ago but I couldn’t use the domain that I wanted because someone else was using it so I used another one. But now that I looked for this guy with the .wordpress domain that I wanted he hasn’t posted a thing since September 2006. I want to know if there’s a way that I could get that .wordpress domain.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Contact the blog owner and convince them to transfer it to you.
You are on your own for that – WordPress.COM will not give you contact info – privacy reasons – no requirement for a blog to be used – a blog will not be taken away from someone else for you

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.
