You think Tumblr will actually go under? As awful as the website can be, I certainly enjoy using it to post my devlog shit and easily keep track of other people.
As negatively as people think of Tumblr, it's actually a really good site. You can find a blog for pretty much anything you want and keep up to date on the posts really easily. It'd be a shame if it went away.
Why the fuck do they still not let you search for more than one tag.
[QUOTE=kobalt;50748449]Why the fuck do they still not let you search for more than one tag.[/QUOTE] I put # in front of multiple tags I wanna search.
[QUOTE=Kegan;50748415]You think Tumblr will actually go under? As awful as the website can be, I certainly enjoy using it to post my devlog shit and easily keep track of other people.[/QUOTE] Most likely just going to change hands
While the site itself seems to barely work at times and has played host to a lot of unfortunate shit, it's so [I]big[/I] that I dread its disappearance. It'll be like a giant hole opening up in the internet, and a lot of history is going to disappear into it. Artists use it, game devs use it for posting progress, changelogs, promotional stuff, etc., writers use it... the list goes on.
yahoo can eat shit and die, but i do not want tumblr to go with it
now where will I get my 3 second porn gifs
It's a great site for me to post my animations to and follow things I like, I wouldn't want it to go down.
I use Tumblr to find porn. [editline]21st July 2016[/editline] Is it just me or doe Yahoo keep making terrible investment decisions?

They're pissed at their current CEO because they brought her in from Google to fix things but they've only gotten worse.
[QUOTE=kobalt;50748449]Why the fuck do they still not let you search for more than one tag.[/QUOTE] Tumblr's a great site for art and other creative stuff to follow, but the people designing it are a bunch of chimpanzees.
tumblr's way up in the top traffic sites, it's not going down anytime soon despite the fact staff has been almost [i]maliciously[/i] inept since before yahoo bought it god just the other day they added advertisements that autoplay with loud blaring music to the side bar, which still play when you have the ad blocked by various tools. The reason this is such an issue is the fucker can actually play audio while actual audio posts [b]won't play audio[/b] if a user has added tags to the post even the 'new XKit' addon has a special addon now that sounds pretty pissed about it [img]http://i.imgur.com/D1orUhC.png[/img]
[QUOTE=dai;50748797] god just the other day they added advertisements that autoplay with loud blaring music to the side bar, which still play when you have the ad blocked by various tools. [/QUOTE] Oh so that's what nearly gave me a heart attack yesterday, nice Ads with sound are even worse than fullscreen popups imo, especially since any sounds that come out of a browser tend to be a lot louder than the system volume you're used to
corporate (yahoo) keeps forcing them to push new style ads and just can't get anything to stick. The shit that hits the desktop site is always over the top and hilariously misguided, full of corporate advertising gimmicks and nonsense that gets mocked until it goes away a week later. mobile ads are meme-level garbage with that choose your adventure mobile app with the weird as shit vapid situations
[QUOTE]Tumblr could soon find itself in new hands, because Yahoo is selling its core internet business. US telecoms giant Verizon is said to be interested. Other rumoured buyers include mobile network AT&T and the [B]UK's Daily Mail.[/B][/QUOTE] Oh my fucking god, imagine Tumblr, a site infamous for its special snowflake users, falling into the hands of the UK's worst tabloid. What an unbelievable shitstorm that would cause.
[QUOTE=artDecor;50748569]yahoo can eat shit and die, but i do not want tumblr to go with it[/QUOTE] I've been wanting them to fuck off ever since they shut down GeoCities, but left it running in Japan where it's still used today.
yahoo deleted a personal email account after they let it receive hundreds of thousands of spam
If Tumblr goes down, I can't post my porn anywhere. :(
[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;50748570]now where will I get my 3 second porn gifs[/QUOTE] Hey now, they loop. That means infinite porn gifs.
