  I would like to take over a currently reserved domain. The domain is occupied by a blog that has never had a single post and hasn’t been touched since 2008. The domain is http://www.brainspace.wordpress.com

  Is this possible?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Your only option is to try and contact the owner of that URL by leaving a comment (provided they have comments enabled) and asking them to transfer the site to you. Staff will under no circumstances transfer a domain to you belonging to someone else, nor supply you with contact details for the owner, regardless if that address is being used or not. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
