Possibly Abandoning Tumblr patreon blogs
Added 2018-12-03 18:12:31 +0000 UTCHello everyone.
If you have not heard the news, tumblr is changing it uploading policy, and no mature content is allowed from 17th of December onward.
Rest assure tier 3 supporters, you will be provided the content. I will probably get creative with DA stash folders until I think of something better.
I do also admit private blogs on Tumblr have become a quite hassle thanks to their "I'm not robot" tests and ruining full viewing of images.
SO, I might just start uploading tier 1 content here. And tag things accordingly so they're easy to find.
If you have any comments about this, feel free to add them here.
Happy December

Hey Tammy! I usued to follow somebody to upload some special content into a Google Drive instead of a Stash, maybe it will work for you. I think is easy to manage and you can add a password there (I think?)

2018-12-04 19:01:33 +0000 UTCWell, I think the dA stash folders might be a decent enough solution, if not.. Are there any possible alternatives? Dropbox could possibly work, but besides those two, that is all I can think of to offer :C Tumblr is shooting itself in the foot, I think.

2018-12-03 20:08:48 +0000 UTCI would miss the ability to send asks on tumblr, but maybe if you’re ok with PMs, you could screenshot them and answer in a post to mimic the ask function? I totally agree that parts of the private blog system were such a hassle though, and I think comments would be cool to have on patreon art here.
2018-12-03 19:50:05 +0000 UTCYou could set up a dropbox for patreon only art.
2018-12-03 19:15:55 +0000 UTCI mean, I understand about the mature blog, that’s Tumblr’s decision and we have no say in it. I kinda feel like it’d be a shame to lose the Club blog as well, though, as annoying as the captchas and image resizing nonsense can be. As you say, any comics, sketches and other artwork could be shared here, but I’m not sure of how we would go about asking questions, lest you get bombarded with PMs. However, the decision is ultimately yours to make, and I’m sure we will all respect what you decide to do.
