Tumblr Image Hotlinking
Hey guys! I was just talking with a friend about Tumblr's news of banning mature content and we've been seeing a lot of strangely non-mature content being flagged, and it brought up the issue of the future of images.
I have absolutely no confirmation for this, so please take me with a grain of salt here, but there's realistically a good chance that the gifs and other images you use from Tumblr in your layouts, bios, etc., could wind up deleted, especially if they are something Tumblr deems adult in nature or are flagged for review and mistakenly deleted if the original poster is no longer around to contest it.
My point: You may want to rehost images that are important to you to use in your layouts and other RP materials if you're using Tumblr URLs, or save them locally in advance in case the URLs end up broken in a few weeks time.
