  Hello,
  I am interested in the domain “cinemat.wordpress.com” that already exists but has not been used since 2008.
  Could liberate this domain? What should I do to reserve it?

  Thank you

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

  You can try contacting the blog owner (by contact form or comment on the blog) to see they would be willing to transfer the ownership to you.

  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.
