Sex & Orgasims

Attention all! We would like to tell you a little bit about who we are! We have had to stay quiet about some things but would like to tell you all about our community’s new home. Many of you may have seen our site already, and we want to let you know that our landing page is in place to protect our name and give you a small tid-bit about our project. On our site, there are instructions regarding downloading your blogs from tumblr, and where you can find us on social media.

First and foremost: We are NOT affiliated with Tumblr, or ANY of its registered trademarks. We are the adult content alternative for when they cut us all loose on December 17th. 

Cumblr, LLC is a newly formed business focused on creating our community’s new home. Our office is in Newark, Delaware. We will be transparent about this address, and it will be the address you’ll see when signing up for our mailing list to stay informed about our progress! [ Head over to cumblr.com to sign up for the mailing list today! ] We will provide more information when we are legally allowed to do so!

The name Cumblr ™ is a trademark of Cumblr, LLC. So please, do not use this name for other similar sites! We are all part of the same community and we aim to give you the best place to blog adult / mature content.

Everyone watches porn, it’s time to have an open conversation about it. We aim to educate the community with vital information about safe sex, sexually transmitted diseases, sexual etiquette, consensual sex, sex positivity. We also want to have open conversations about the issues; sex addiction, pornography addiction, body imagery and many more. Its time to start respecting sex again as a community, and we’re going to get the conversation going. We’ll shed light on a few other values values that we think the world could benefit from. We are absolutely open to suggestions here as well. 

What we are doing:

We are currently developing a social media platform that allows you to upload all of your old blogs from tumblr, and continue where you left off. 

We want to inform you of some things that we will allow on our site. We have been also working on a number of legal documents to ensure your safety when participating in our community. Please keep checking out the website for the release of these important documents. Please follow our guidelines… really, we don’t have that many. 

We Encourage - Nudity, sexually explicit content, consensual sexual acts, and NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content.

We accept - people’s blogs of all sexualities: including, but not limited to - straight, bisexual, lesbian, gay, transexual, pansexual and the list goes on! We also accept blogs from the BDSM community. If your “area of expertise” isn’t listed here, just let us know in the comments below!

We will not tolerate - Child pornography, zoophilia, or any other content that breaks local, state, federal, or international laws.

We pledge to create a safe place to migrate your old blogs, and to truly become the community’s new home. We have a multi stage implementation process in the works to ensure our users have the best experience possible on our site! 

Our Progress: We are planning on releasing some updates regarding our progress before D-Day (December 17th). Please stay tuned for an info-graphic outlining our short, mid and long term goals for this incredible project!

At this time, we are aiming to make this platform FREE to the whole community. Make sure to follow our ACTUAL Social media accounts to get the most up to date information:

FAQ’s:

Q: “Can i post things other than posts related to sex on Cumblr ™ ?”

A: Of course you can! Our community is open to whatever it is you have to offer. But we wanted to be clear that we openly accept explicit / mature / adult content as well (as long as it complies with our legal documentation, which will all be available on our site before we launch).

Q: “Will we be able to upload our old blogs?”

A: YES! We are working on implementing an upload feature as we speak on our test servers. 

Q: “Can I sign up yet or is it still too early?”

A: Not yet, but we want to let you know as soon as we’re ready to roll. Head to our website “www.cumblr.com” and subscribe to the mailing list to stay updated.

We encourage you ALL to ask as MANY questions as you’d like! Comment below and please share this with the whole world! We will update this post with other questions that are asked by more than one commentator below.

Some good news, I’ve been talking to two developers now and got them working together, we just had a meeting with the guys behind an existing large (millions of users) site similar to Tumblr, with a vibrant and open-minded community, and more importantly, it has open-minded owners who believe in free speech. They think we can get something done here to rescue the whole community.

I’m not allowed to reveal the site name yet. I can tell you it’s mainstream, open to everyone, open-minded and welcoming. (It’s not WordPress or any site owned by Facebook or Twitter. It’s not Pillowfort, that’s in closed beta. It’s not Ello, that’s mainly for artists. It’s not kinkspace or fetlife, those are too specialist. It’s not jux, that seems to be closed. It’s not Soup, that seems still in development and too small.)

One of the reasons for delaying the announcement for next few days is they don’t want a “land grab” where people take the names of current popular Tumblr users over there (cyber squatting). So they are looking at ways for existing Tumblr users to keep the same names on the new site.

More info over the days to come.

The plan is, broadly:

1. By December 9th, announcement of the new site and how to secure your username there

2. By December 10th, an online tool for bloggers to copy their existing content to the new site automatically, with the same tags and captions.

3. Bloggers will need to copy their content across between December 10th and December 17th if they want to use the automatic tool.

4. My understanding is that after December 17th there will be no public access to any “flagged” posts on Tumblr, but the original poster will still be able to see the flagged post (for a short time at least). Therefore, the original poster may still be able to manually download a post to their own PC or phone, after December 17th, and manually upload it to the other site. But if you have lots of posts that will take a long time, it will be better to use the automatic tool before December 17th.

Please understand that these dates are approximate and may change for technical or other reasons.

There may be a few rough edges or not so perfect looking site design on the transfer tool. Everyone is doing their best. The main goal here is to help as many people as possible preserve access to their content, in the short space of time Tumblr has allowed us, and preserve as much as possible of the Tumblr community spirit somewhere new.

The new site will cater for photo, GIF, text and html posts. It will not offer video and audio posts, due to cost reasons - maybe in future, but for now you will need to preserve video and audio content yourself in some other place.

If your Tumblr blog has a mixture of original content and reblogs, or all reblogs, all of that can be copied over to the new site. Reblogs will become “your” original content if nobody else posted them yet, otherwise they will be shown as reblogs. The devs are looking at ways to preserve attribution of reblogs back to the original Tumblr poster, if that person also moves to the new site.

Important: your Likes cannot be copied from Tumblr to the new site. You will have to go find the same posts again on the new site, and like them afresh.

(Similarly, existing reblog comments, asks, messages and other user interaction on Tumblr cannot be copied to the new site - that’s just too much to do, in the short time available.)

If you want to preserve any of your existing Liked posts on Tumblr, you will need to either: (1) download the post to your own PC, or: (2A) reblog it now to your own Tumblr blog, and then (2B) use the automatic tool, before December 17th, to move your whole Tumblr blog across to the new site.

If you have Liked a lot of posts here on Tumblr, the gridllr.com webapp should be able to help you do steps 1 and 2A quickly, I mean download or reblog.

(Someone complained to me today about the appearance of Gridllr on a phone. It’s best to use Gridllr on a PC, Mac or Tablet with a large screen.)

If you have liked a post here on Tumblr and the original poster decides to delete it, or even to delete their entire blog, some time before December 17th, then that post will be permanently lost. So if you want to be sure to preserve any of your Liked posts, you should best download or reblog as soon as possible. If it’s reblogged to your own blog it is safe from deletion, at least for next few days.
