  The URL, “hashtagthink.wordpress.com” is not currently being used, but the system does not allow me to change my address to this. Is there any way I could please have my URL changed to this?

  Thanks,
  Lucas

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

  Wow. I definitely thought this would be sent to support so I probably look dumb, but I guess I’ll hope for the best.

  http://hashtagthink.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  You cannot register any deleted blog URL under any account period. 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.

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  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.

  I answered you correctly within seconds of your posting here.

  All support docs are here http://support.wordpress.com

  These are our support options http://en.support.wordpress.com/help-support-options/

  This is a peer support forum where Staff and Volunteers work together cooperatively to provide WordPress.com support. Volunteers answer the majority of all support questions and when we cannot provide support we tag threads for Staff assistance.

  Many post here because there is no phone support, and emailing support Staff means it takes longer to get an answer than posting to the support forums does.

  We are happy to answer your WordPress.COM questions right here in this thread. Please simply post exactly what you need help with into this thread, knowing there’s rarely ever a question posted here that has not already been asked and answered.
