Twas the night before tumblr becomes a more “welcoming place”…

By slamming the door in all of our face!

No more porn! It all must go!!

But my fellow dirty bloggers and I, tumblr can BLOW!

All the post and pleads went out with care…

But nobody was listening even if unfair!

Out of the web rose such chatter…

The rules are changing, apple is all that matters!!!

Torn from it with such a crash…

Away with you all in one hell of a flash!

The site is vanilla now, tell the girls and the boys!

No ropes,No handcuffs, No dildos or toys!!!

Time to leave and stop making noise!

Self expression is dead and the boring are poise!

A bundle of red explicit warnings were slapped! 🚫🚫🚫

As this censorship model is rolled out and mapped!

Nudity a NO! Sex absolutely NOT!

Posting that shit, you’ll definitely be caught!

Kicked out of a place that we all helped build…

Just to bring smiles upon the vanilla guild! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

So times are changing for us all…

Though it is sad it’s been one hell of a ball! 🙌🙌🙌

Time to go and say our goodbyes…😢😢😢

And with us gone the true tumblr dies! 😵😵😵

More welcoming you say? That’s NOT the case!

Corporate nonsense, just trying to save face!

A place that once welcomed one and all…

Now minimized to its own downfall!

We’re PG now, tell the world…

Just the thought makes my toes curl! 😱😱😱

The community crumbles though we hold tight!

Close minded bullshit ending this fight!

A community…a world of acceptance and love!

Crushed by money and a mandate from above!

So ashes to ashes dust to dust…

Fuck you tumblr you owe all of us! 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

So as these naughty final days pass…

Yes tumblr you and yours can kiss our ass!

So I say one final farewell to each of you all! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

Together as one we all stand very tall!

This was OUR place like it or not…

Without US tumblr it simply is NOT!

So if Tonight is where it all ends…

Goodbye…goodbye to my dearest of friends! 😘😘😘

The tumblr issuo makes me depressed too, but i want to help you to find Your Girl!

My Haart is with You !

Thank you to everyone who was so generous to submit!

I borrowed this from http://alongthehike.tumblr.com/ as I didn’t have time to type it out again. Thanks for the help. I did all the below and it works fine.

The time has finally come. We’re all getting booted from this platform, but we’re a community, and we’ll rebuild elsewhere.  The current alternative sites are less than ideal, but maybe one will be suitable, or a new platform will arise in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, let’s make sure we export everything so that all our work was not in vain. We suggest a few different ways to do this, to ensure that nothing is lost.

1.  Export a list of people that you follow, so you don’t forget any names/blogs accounts

While logged in, go to: http://www.tumblr.com/following.opml

This will automatically download a list of people you follow.  You can open the file in Excel.

2.  Export your blog/site within Tumblr.

Go to https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/yourblogname

At the bottom click export. It will take a while to process. Once ready, click download backup.  Ideally we’ll be able to import these files into another platform, but you should probably do the following steps just in case.

——

3. Download your full site.

This is easy, but will take a while, and probably a few GB’s.

DL: https://www.httrack.com/

Choose the 📂 to download into.

Enter your site’s URL and run the program.  It will probably take a few hours.

“It allows you to download a 🌍 Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site’s relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the “mirrored” website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system.”

4. Download all media from all of your favorite blogs.

TumblThree works great.

Download the file that says application: https://github.com/johanneszab/TumblThree/releases

Open the program and on the bottom left enter your blog’s URL.  In settings make a new 📂 to which the files should be downloaded.  Right click your blog and “add to Queue” then click “Crawl”.

You can do this with any blog you follow, but it will only take images, and no comments, tags, etc., hence the need to download your entire site (and/or other sites) using HTTrack in step 4 above.

Downloading your “likes” is a bit more tricky.

Click settings, then connection, and log in with your Tumblr credentials.

Add the following URL: https://www.tumblr.com/liked/by/yourblogname

Then add to queue and crawl again.

With these files/exports we should be able to migrate elsewhere and rebuild our community.  It will be hard to credit everyone for their work, but we’ll do our best.

We’re to be kicked out on the 17th, but it will probably happen earlier, so the sooner you get started on the above the better.

It’s been a pleasure sharing with you all over the past few years.

Well, this just in on The Verge…
