  there is an inactive wordpress blog who is currently using the name that i want for my blog, is it possible for me to take it from the inactive blog? i started my blog yesterday called “litenmenstorblog.wordpress.com” but i’d really like for my site to be called just “litenmenstor.wordpress.com”. is this possible? the site who is currently using it hasn’t wrote a single article on it’s paged and from what I can see the site was created in 2010.

  thanks, arvid

  Addresses (URLs) for blogs that have been deleted by the owner will remain deleted. We cannot, under any circumstances, allow someone to take over the address of a blog that was previously owned and deleted by its original/previous owner. Please do not submit support requests asking us to do this.

  If you find that a blog address is registered by another user, you may be able to obtain it for your use if the owner of the blog agrees to transfer it to you. You may contact the blog owner – via a comment on their site or through a contact form, if available – to ask for their consent. If you do not get permission, or do not hear back from the blog owner, we cannot transfer the blog address to you.
