Getting someone else’s URL name?
-
Hi I’m looking to start a political blog called Gloves Off and would like to have a url name, but someone has the name i want and they haven’t updated since 2005. What can I do about this situation?

No, wordpress won’t take their blog away from them and give it to someone else – even if it sits for 10 years.
Leave a comment on the blog and see if the blogger is willing to transfer it over to you.

Doesn’t matter, once a blog is deleted (whether by staff for TOS violations or deleted by the blog owner) it is gone.
