  How long will WordPress.com let a site not be updated…?

  Or, how soon would WordPress.com shutdown a site if it wasn’t being updated…?

  Also… for both the above situations, the WordPress.com site would still be receiving traffic every day………

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

  Hi there, WordPress.com sites are not shutdown regardless of the last time the site owner or other users updated the site. Also, unless the owner made the site Private prior to abandoning the site, the site will continue to receive traffic and be crawled by search engines.

  Hope that answers your question, but post back here if you need anything else.
