My Tumblr is back!

[erimia]

So, there has been some weird shit going on with my Tumblr blogs recently. My old blog got deleted by Tumblr for no apparent reason; in between writing to Tumblr team and running around screaming, I created another one dedicated to Lovecraft alone. Now the old blog got resurrected just as suddently as it got deleted and I really don't know what to do next:

1) keep the new blog for Lovecraft posts and post about other fandoms in the old one
2) keep my old blog for all posts and delete the new one
3) post about Lovecraft in both blogs which probably would increase both the amount of chaos and order in the world

In any case, I'm really happy to see the old blog return - it had almost 1000 posts! There are some differences between my new blog and old one, and I probably won't abandon either of them, but I need to think what to do and reorganize some things if necessary.

Hurrah!

Did you ever get any feedback from Tumblr admin, or did they just spontaneously delete and then restore the blog for no known reason? (possibly by technical error...)

It seems I didn't receive any messages about it, the blog just vanished mysteriously and then suddently reappeared.

How strange! I wonder if it could have been some kind of technical mistake?

(But if so, I'd have expected lots of other users to be affected and to be complaining vocally on the Internet...)

It might be best to stick with the old blog in case anyone has linked to it (I linked to cosette_giry and she moved hers twice to a new name when she changed fandoms, breaking the URLs). But it's a sign that it might be an idea to archive the content... (Counsel of perfection; I certainly haven't archived mine. In fact I haven't even finished importing the old archive from my *previous* blog (MySpace), which I did manage to export!)

Yes, that's what I've decided to do - to use the new blog for reblogging the most interesting and high-effort posts from the old one in case it gets deleted again and to keep the old one as the main blog. It did have more followers, after all.
