  Hello,
  I would like to ask if it is possible to get a mail contact or anything else of the “maju.wordpress.com” owner.
  It seems blog hasn’t been updated in years and I’d like to start my new on under the name of “maju”.

  Is it possible to contact that guy somehow? Because as the last post is from APR 2006 it’s even pointless to try to contact him via the blog. It seems like the blog was never used.

  If there’s any possibility to get that name – please share it with me.
  Thanks a lot.

  There is no expiration date on blogs unused or otherwise. If you can make contact on your own with the owner of an unused blog then 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.
