A bit preoccupied
🕑 Added 2018-11-21 18:35:03 +0000 UTC I've been a little preoccupied for the past few days. On the 16th, Tumblr was pulled from the Apple store, due to complaints of child porn. Since Monday, Tumblr has been deleting blogs left and right--mostly NSFW, some SFW. It's likely these are related but it's never been confirmed.Tumblr is a horribly managed site with some pretty bad cliques, but it's also a very mechanically good site. It's the only one that lets me upload gifs, 10-image sets, video (sfw anyway), share other users posts, and answer asks all in one. It's where my webcomic is originally located, and there's archives of my art on both my SFW and NSFW blogs, as well as big follower counts. (Many of you likely found me from my tumblr.)
I've been trying to make sure my stuff is backed up, that people know where to find me (namely Twitter and Newgrounds, as well as the PV02 site), and have been making PSAs on where to find my friends.
There is a lot of speculation regarding the reasons for what gets you deleted but no one has definitive answers, and anyone who claims to so far has been lying (the most recent verifiably-false rumor I've seen is "oh it has to do with links in your bio!"). You can try to appeal to get your account back, but so far a few friends have had no luck with that (included Herny and Nephrited). Eigaka got hit, got his account back, and then was promptly terminated a second time.
This is frustrating as all hell and has kept me a bit preoccupied, so I haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to drawing or working on stuff this week.

I hope you make it out alright with this ongoing situation. I may not use Tumblr, but I sympathize with those who make a living through it that are affected. Take care dude.

We know what’s going on. You do what you have to. We understand how trying of a time this must be for people whose livelihood and possible living conditions were tied to the website and their art. Making sure you and others can keep backed up and safe is a priority.
