That's it, kids
My queue has run out and I'm done with Tumblr. I'm moving on.
Thanks to everyone who followed and shared.
I'm not publishing my new home. If you've read the description on this page you know that I created this as a way to share images I've enjoyed with my wife, who is a photographer. I'm honestly surprised by the number of folks who've followed and appreciated the photos I've posted, considering I post little that's pornographic or that follows a particular fetish.
The board I'm moving to offers a little more privacy and control over who comments/shares/reads. This feature has become especially important to me in recent months after a certain photographer threatened to report me to Tumblr for complying with their request to remove an image. Although I was well within the law for citations (attribution was present, I wasn't using the full image, link traffic was directed back to the source), I removed the image ... and still got angry threats for my troubles because the photographer in question decided it was much better to attack people who appreciate their work and properly cite them than to do anything about people who steal their images.
I'm not linking, but I'm not removing anything from my archive so if you're curious you can find it.
The board I'm moving to also offers me tools that work.
Tumblr has made it increasingly difficult to use their services because their engineers are more interested in making sparkly AJAX than making a useable UI. Case in point - the eternal scroll archives which have made it very difficult to browse the archive of a prolific poster (seriously, try it). Another example is the eternal scroll on your queue, which makes it impossible to move posts around if you've got more than a couple dozen posts in your archive (again, try it).
Both of these systems make it harder or impossible to do what they were supposed made to do, yet Tumblr ignores any complaint or suggestion for improvement. And if someone takes it upon themselves to enact those improvements on their own (like missing e) then Tumblr punishes customers who use those fixes.
Find another place, people. Go somewhere that does what you want and doesn't box you in to what they want. You have so many alternatives now that have their own strong communities. Don't put up with Tumblr's self-imposed limitations anymore.
As for me, I'm gone. I'll leave my archive up for folks to enjoy until some other lunatic photographer comes along and gets it taken down.
