  Hi. I’m just starting another blog with a different name which will be handled by two different persons. Now, we wanted to get the whataboutthis.wordpress.com but it says that the name has already been taken and DELETED. Is there any way we can take that address? Thank you! :)

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

  Hello @darlenemaeceneta
  I may disappoint you, but once a site is deleted it’s address gets reserved so that it cannot be registered by anyone(not even by the original owner). This is done to keep your blog/site from being impersonated.

  And thats the reason why there are warnings given so that you can think twice before proceeding with the action.

  Really sorry about this.

  However,

  Sites already deleted by their authors two or more years ago may become available again, if they present no username or other technical conflicts.

  Thanks!
