sinshine: The Wicked Knickers tumblr is there, but you have to...

The Wicked Knickers tumblr is there, but you have to know about it, or you have to be linked to it. You won't find it in Google, you won't find it in any other search engine that honors robots.txt, and when Tumblr decides to stop hosting it, you won't find the pages in the Wayback Machine — it will be gone for good, lost to humanity unless somebody with the technical chops and outlaw sensibilities of Archive Team finds a way to archive it anyway, robots.txt be damned.

Wicked Knickers is just an example, one that has some meaning to me because it's one of the first Tumblr blogs I ever noticed, and I've been linking to it since 2010. That's almost 6,000 vintage erotica posts since January 2009, and none of those pages are in Google or the Wayback Machine. It was only when I twigged to that anomaly that I finally understood what Tumblr is doing to adult blogs.

In all the years that I've been preaching Bacchus's First Rule ("Anything worth doing on the internet is worth doing on your own domain that you control"), I'll confess that I never considered the power of robots.txt, or what it means to be putting stuff on an internet site where somebody else controls what robots.txt says. Not only do they control your visibility to search engines, they control whether history will remember what you said. That strikes me as a high price to pay for a "free" blogging platform.

With the Yahoo acquisition of Tumblr, those of us who have worked very hard to provide and curate adult content here now face real risks that their content will be censored or that their blogs will be deleted. Yahoo wants to commercialize this place, and it has known hostility to "porn."

How to back up your porn tumblr...and why you should

As I write this, the news is official: Yahoo has purchased Tumblr for more than a billion dollars, cash. (Tumblr shareholders did not want any stinky Yahoo stock, which should tell you something.) The business press has been pointing out for awhile that Yahoo will need to deal with what the suits in the corporate/financial/advertising world consider to be Tumblr's "porn problem". And Yahoo itself has a terrible reputation for buying cool, trendy, successful websites, running them into the ground or neglecting them to death, and then shuttering them.
