Here’s a Sneak peak at our login page! 

We’ve got an update. And it’s a big one.

As you may already know, we are developing a social media platform for adult content where you can post all sorts of hot stuff. We wanted to give you an update which walks you through our multistage implementation process, our goals and some deadlines we have. We ask that you please read this entire statement, as it should answer a number of your questions and concerns!

Stage 1: Backend We focused HEAVILY on the backend so that we are prepared to handle an enormous amount of data, so we can properly balance the load of all of our users and their content. We have multiple servers to handle the uploading, viewing, sharing, re-blogging, commenting, liking and more. This stage is nearly complete.

Stage 2: Cumblr Web App We are creating an easy to use web-app for all of our users so they can start uploading their blogs, or so they can create a brand new one. Our web-app is currently in development and the beta is nearing completion. Our development team is confident that we will have the beta version open to the public on or before the evening of Monday, December 17th. At this time, you will be able to create an account and get going with posting all the things that make you cumblr. If you have followed the instructions on how to save your blog as a ZIP file, we are working on a method of allowing you to upload it to cumblr. The great news is, if you have already saved your blog to a ZIP: YOU DON’T HAVE TO RUSH TO UPLOAD IT BY THE 17th! That’s right! As long as you have saved your zip file, you will be able to upload it to cumblr at any time. Even if we don’t have the upload functionality ready to go by the 17th, your blogs will still be able to be uploaded later on! Just make sure you follow the steps to download your old blog.

Stage 3: Cumblr Mobile Optimization Once the web-app is complete, it will be very easy to touch up the front end to run smoothly on mobile devices. We are hoping to have a sound mobile optimization by end of the month. We will be releasing Android and iOS apps. With this in mind, there is a very good chance that Apple and Google Play will not allow us to be on their app stores. If this is the case, we will have direct download links to these applications which can be installed using a technique called “sideloading”. This allows you to install apps that can’t be found on the Apple or Google app store. We will be transparent with both Apple and Google when asking them if we can be on their stores. We will comply with all of their terms and conditions. If we are still denied the opportunity to be on their stores, we will provide direct download links to our application which you can download at your own discretion. We aim to get this going in the next few months.

Stage 4: Monetization for Cumblr, and its users We currently rely on your generous donations, and we thank you for being so supportive already! Stage 4 will include a number of ways to implement monetization. Cumblr will always be free for our users, but we will offer additional perks and benefits with some form of optional, paid subscription. We will also have some interesting features planned for those of you who are “original content creators”. Those of you who are posting stories, pictures, videos etc, of yourselves (or you are working with a group or team to produce any original content); we plan to allow YOU to make money with our platform as well. This is scheduled to be implemented over a 6-12 month timeframe. We also plan to serve relevant, sponsored posts from niche markets which will help us continue to grow. These posts will allow us to continuously update our website and make it the best platform for the community. At this time, WE WILL NOT host generic ad space on Cumblr, for we believe it is against what our community desires.

Stage 5: Illicit Content Detection and Removal Over time, we plan to develop additional methods of detecting, and automatically removing certain content, which will be outlined in our terms of service. We hope to begin development of these features within 6-12 months of initial release. Fighting illegal content will be a major focus here at Cumblr. We want to make sure that our users follow our guidelines and more importantly, follow state and federal laws. We want to make sure we have an intuitive way to remove content that does not comply with our terms of service. We allow a very large number of categories of adult and mature content, but some content (As will be outlined in our Terms of Service) will absolutely not be tolerated. Our old blogging home was shut down due to people posting things they shouldn’t have. It is partially up to you to help us moderate this environment. All users will be able to report posts that they believe do not comply with our Terms of Service.

There will be many more info-blasts like this to come, and we want to keep you in the loop! For now, make sure to subscribe to our mailing list by visiting our site, www.cumblr.com. We plan on sending out emails as we implement each of these stages, and to tell you if we’re adding any other great features.

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, sex addiction, pornography addiction, plus a few other morals and values 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 ™ ?”

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. 

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.
