Back up your Tumblrs
7 years ago
Tumblr is deleting all their porn in less than two weeks. I doubt they'll exist in a year. I maintain a UserScript for cataloging entire Tumblr blogs, so if you want to back up all the images on your Tumblr or anyone else's, now is the time.

You'll need a browser extension like GreaseMonkey or TamperMonkey. On any Tumblr ([example].tumblr.com) this script adds a grey "Scrape" button in the upper-right corner. (Go to [example].tumblr.com/archive if the button won't cooperate.) You can click the "find image links from all pages" button, which won't take long. From there you can use DownThemAll or... I don't even know what the Chrome equivalent is. It's a list of addresses, just use a thing to download all of them. Browsing images won't work once Tumblr forces all "adult" blogs to become private. I don't know if image URLs will stay valid, then.
Everybody loves porn. Why is hosting it so hard?

That's tumblr. And it's doomed.
Lately, I've noticed that Deviant Art has begun deleting art for no apparent reason, claiming it departed from the groups standards. I'm just about the most discrete artist imaginable, short of refusing to deal with sexual material altogether, so I wonder what's going on? If prudes have decided to "clean the membership up," I can imagine about 1/10 of all my work on DA going up the flue, for arbitrary reasons.
