Seeing some rumblings about Tumblr banning Internet Archive. That's not true, thankfully! All our crawlers are up and running (you can check by going to web.archive.org and using the Save Page Now feature! e.g: makyo.io/tumblr-spn-test ).

THAT SAID, ArchiveTeam's project to archive Tumblrs is racing right up to the finish line! If you want to run a Warrior (distributed crawler), you can find out more here: archiveteam.org/index.php?titl

As a follow-up, Tumblr may be banning IPs of Warriors. That is, unfortunately, outside our control. It'd likely be due to rate-limiting.

Update! Tumblr is apparently banning chunks of ArchiveTeam (who does warrior stuff). They're not IA, but that doesn't mean it's not shitty for Tumblr to do :S
