Re-take the blog i have erased
-
I had Japomatic.wordpress.com and had erased it. Now the name is not available anymore. Can I create the same blog again?
-
http://japomatic.wordpress.com is no longer available.
The authors have deleted this site.Oh no! You ignored the warnings and it’s too late now. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and it must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click. Once the verification link for deletion is clicked the blog URL is forever gone, gone, gone.

Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.

So you are telling me WordPress.com has a system where, eventually, no url name will be available cause none of them can be re-taken?
-
Yes. You ignored the warnings. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/ Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

That plays totally against wordpress.com, and, logically and eventually, they will need to change this. I’ll use wordpress.org then. Thank you!

If you delete a domain there it’ll cost you actual cash money to get it back. Perhaps this will help the lesson sink in.
There are three warnings and an email confirmation before you delete a domain at WordPress.com, all of which say deletion is permanent and irreversible. If you ignore them, well, we get to here.

Yes, I have read during this question already several times the 3 warnings thing, thanks for pointing it out a third time.
My point is, what’s the point on doing such a strange rule? Many websites has several checks before erasing, just for security reasons, and normally, the names are available again after that for other users.
But here no user will be able to re-take a url, unless they pay.
So, good for users willing to pay.
A very strange business model, I would say.
-
For the sake of clarity. There is no ability to pay WordPress.COM to get theme to recycle a deleted WordPress.COM URL.
-
Which makes it even worst.
Just pray to avoid someone creating a bot for creating wordpress.com urls and deleting them so no one can create what they want :D

If that’s a threat it was pretty stupid to put it on a page with the pagerank of this forum.

No is not. I was just pointing out how this system (or way to proceed of wordpress.com) is a failure.
Please don’t see it as a threat. See it as a chance to be better. Actually, I don’t care or mind. I will just not use the service. But what I said, from the point of view of a business model, is something to take in account.
Is sad that nowadays, when you try to give a tip to someone, instead of thinking from the other’s POV, they just considered it a threat.
