Bye, bye Tumblr

It seems as if Tumblr (now owned by those asshats at Yahooey) have started the, "Great Porn Purge". I had a great blog that was creating at least 10 follwers a day and BLAMMO - TERMINATED. I emailed support to find out what the deal was and they said I violated their terms by having a misleading link. I have no idae what the hell they were talking about so I asked if I could set-up another account.

I was told I could, but I would need to use a different email address...no problem.

I set-up the account and created a new blog.

I had 10 posts,
NO links,
NO ads,

Just a basic site. I was adding the sites I follow and BLAMMO - TERMINATED yet again.

I've sent them another email and will keep you posted.

My advice to anyone who has an adult Tumblr blog - BACK UP YOUR CONTENT - just in case.

Peace, Love & Boners - Jay

Can you show us what you posted?

nickbaer,

It was just 8 re-blogged images from a couple of the large gay tumblr blogs. No Sponsor content, no links nothing. I've been reading around the Web about some of the games going with Tumblr before the sale to Yahoo and after.

I guess I'll stick to my self-hosted blogs.

Cheers - Jay

there's no porn purge at Tumblr. Porn stays per Yahoo statements. But Tumblr removed porn indiscriminately before the acquisition so this isn't anything new.

Are the re-blogged images still at their original source?
