Marijuana is finally being legalized yet looking at pussy is being banned.
What is this world coming to?
What is this world coming to?
Nah I thing many of us just go too reliant on one source. This change will shake things up and we'll so who the real posters were and not just the copy and paste posters are.
As long as there's tubesites my copy and paste ass will be known as a puss y poster of vids
I doubt it. The rules here are well established and the bgol police are watching as hard as the feds. Plus there's a paywall so....shit'll be aight.
Will you put money on it?
true, even I've got lazy and fallen into that trap. I never thought all the things we used to do to post back in the golden era
would ever seem like hard work, but I guess time took over. I miss making galleries from scratch, adding music and other HTML, uploading through..er...thingy what was it called again?..that software for uploading sites...shit...er...then getting the link from the host..posting it in to bgol using a iframe with your banner on top and sig on bottom. Man, phew. and your thread would get thousands
of views, unlike now, youd get those kind of views over months now.
It’s just not fair
Speak for yourself, lol! I never quite learned how to create galleries and post them thru iframes like those PMG and Commission cats. I was mad jealous of you HTML savvy cats. HAHAHAHA. Good times. Nothing lasts forever. New advents and platforms will arise. They already do. It's the natre of the internet,
nooooooooo...i loved the app...why lawd why????
Man they snatching shit quick y’all! Quick somebody call Aquaman! Tha fuck! Man somebody capture this smut for us! Damn!
I just realized I got thousands of pics off of tumblr thanks to BGOL and believe it or not, a lot of the stuff was pretty tame. Let's just hope someday they will at least allow Playboy style nudes back on the site, there was soooo much good material.
Could be if the rest of the world starts following the precedent set by UK with article 11 and 13.

Yeah, that kills the spirit of the internet, sad. Thanks for the info.
Yeah....RIP....
Light a candle....
no more pussy....
yo this wilf funny to me
lol..........
can't get shit from tumblthree wtf
Verizon bought Yahoo, which owns tumblr. They're cracking down on porn to ''clean it up" for advertisers. I never saw CP on tumblr either, but it didn't surprise me to hear that it was rampant, since you can find any other disgusting shit on there if you go down the right rabbit hole. Apple doesn't like porn on the whole, but the last straw for them was probably when the scandal broke about the rampant CP.
Doubt they give any fucks, tumblr is a Verizon entity now. If you read the official statement from the CEO, it's clear that the ones at the top are disconnected from the reality of who makes up a significant bulk of their userbase. They're gonna milk the site for ads, and if that doesn't work, they'll probably shelve it as a write off.
How long until DevianArt and Picinterest become affected?
December 17th - a rescue plan
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 willnotoffer 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 aPC, Mac or Tabletwith 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.
Obviously, you will lose access, after December 17th, to all past posts you have liked, if Tumblr has flagged them as NSFW. Again, the steps (1), or (2A) and (2B) covered above will be the only way to hold on to these posts.

Can we request a Zod section!?
Zod is legion over there. He has categories of worship, testimony and offerings.
LOL but you appreciated those threads tho, fam. And that's why we kept making em', great times, man.
I wish I could still remember all that HTML i knew back then, It was the skill I came here with, so I shared it with the fam,
what little I knew that they didn't. Turned out to be my way in to the inner circle so to speak..thru my good brotha NaAs who
convinced brotha HNIC to make me a mod. To this day brotha NaAs is my OG, haven't seen him on here for years but I can't get
myself to think the worst and instead just wish him all the happiness in the world wherever he is now. He believed in me and I miss my brotha. Also miss my good friends Beenie Boy, Yogi Burr, Darth Harlem, Diplomat ...and even Esco and Duke! I miss those cats.
god bless you, fammo.
I went from a massive record collection and did the same thing with my bgol galleries collection! lol I'm a fun hoarder!
