Help with Domain name
-
I’d like to get in contact with the owner of a wordpress domain, the domain has not been used for 10 years and i’d really like to use the domain name for a new blog i’m planning to create. Is there anyway to do this when no information is available on the domain?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What you want to do amounts to a shot in the dark.
Username accounts are not deleted read https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
You cannot register either a username or site that has already been registered.
Also note that there is no expiration date on any on .wordpress.com blog urls unused, reserved or otherwise.
Unless you can reach the owner of the site on your own and have them transfer it to you, you have reached a dead end. Note that in these cases the blog’s owner rarely responds to comments or to contact information. And, Staff will not breach the privacy policy and provide you with an email address.

Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.

Thank you for the swift reply, I feared this may be the case. Frustrating given the domain I’m after has remained almost entirely unused for 10 years! But I respect that WordPress must stick to policy. Perhaps they need to start enforcing some expiry dates.
Thanks for the support, I guess I’ll keep commenting on the site until I get a reply.
