I want the name of an inactive blog, how can I get it?
-
I really want the name “Me, myself and…” for my blog (memyselfand.wordpress.com) for my blog, but it is already taken. But it hasn’t been in use since 2006. Is there any way that I can get the domain?
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.

There is an open comment box on memyselfand.wordpress.com Did you try contacting the current owner to see if they are willing to transfer the site to you?

That’s not the one I want (I didn’t make the original post in this topic), but in the one I want, someone already did that – 3 years ago – and there was no reply from the owner. It was never used, not even for one entry.
