Official Checked Star Member
I just want to warn all other porn stars and anyone tied to the adult industry who is using tumblr currently:
Since Yahoo! bought tumblr, as many of us suspected, it's gone to hell! Here's how!
Tumblr now places a "no index" code inside of any blog containing adult content, which instructs Google not to index that site in search results.
I noticed this earlier this week when I realized that my blog, which has been the only official website I've had for the 1.5 year duration of my career in porn, no longer shows up in google search results. At all.
The kicker is that this morning, I received an email from tumblr notifying me that my account, siripornstar.tumblr.com, has been deleted. (By the way, my 25th birthday was yesterday. Happy fucking birthday to me, eh?)
Thousands of posts, and literally thousands of hours of work I've done over the past 18 months, completely gone with no warning at all. I can't even comprehend the shittiness of it. Stupidly I didn't have all of my blog posts and fan questions/answers backed up - and I'd just decided I would get that done earlier in the week when I saw Yahoo start to bring the shitstorm. I just didn't get around to it soon enough.
I'm posting this partly because I'm so upset I just want to rant about it, but I'm also scared that other porn stars and fans who have put hours upon ours of work into their tumblrs are now going to find themselves in the same boat with me.
So, guys, please don't make my mistake and either move your blog to a site who's not owned by total assholes, like Wordpress, or back up your **** if you want to take your chances and stay on tumblr.
