  Hey, I had a blog here that I eventually deleted. I want it back so I can keep using my old domain name, but I get that error message saying that users can’t take over someone’s old domain name, but it’s my old blog on this account. Is there any way around this?

  That’s not possible as deleted URLs and vere recycled and reused.

  “vere” was meant to be “never”

  sers can’t take over someone’s old domain name

  That doesn’t just mean NEW users.
