  There is a wordpress blog that I wanted to register EVER since I joined wordpress.com!

  julius.wordpress.com

  but the blog seems very inactive no posts :( please release that name…….. I can’t understand why you would not release it… other popular sites release OVERLY inactive accounts like that one… please explain! :)

  I really love wordpress and would like that url therefore!

  Ever since I joined I’ve wanted to register the blog name julius.wordpress.com but it was taken back in 2005 and the blog still seems inactive. Could I get the opportunity to use the http://julius.wordpress.com blog instead? :)

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

  Hi there!

  The reason why URLs aren’t released is stated in the Recycling Blog Addresses (URLs) support page:

  For the most part, we cannot recycle or reassign site addresses (URLs) which may appear to be abandoned. We respect bloggers’ ownership of their content and therefore will not move or delete a site without its owners consent — no matter how long it has been since their last update.
