How to stay in touch with me
After the great Pornpocalypse of December 17, here’s how you can remain in touch with me:
Website: https://billenkoek.info
I set up a new website with the main goal of educating people about spanking and associated activities. It won’t have (much) in the way of spanking pictures, videos, etc. but it will be educational and will also have my main blog. Please bookmark, visit, comment, etc.
Email: billenkoek@protonmail.com
For everything that needs to remain private, there’s this email address. Feel free to send messages there, send naughty pics, etc.
Chat: Wire.com
Wire is a secure collaboration and messaging platform. It offers end to end encryption and chat clients for most devices for free. Search for @spankingnl
You may also send your naughty pics there. ;-)
Twitter
You can find me on Twitter too: https://twitter.com/spankingnl
I am currently looking at Sharesome (beta) to continue blogging pictures and such. Sharesome is a social media platform created specifically for sharing adult content.
I have almost 16.000 followers here. I appreciate all of you, even if we’ve never exchanged a single message. Please don’t be a stranger and reach out to me!
PSA: backup your Tumblr
Public Sevice Announcement: If you are planning to back up your blog, you can export it using the export function of Tumblr. However, the end result is…meh. You also have to wait forever until it is finished.
Instead look to this solution: https://github.com/bbolli/tumblr-utils/blob/master/tumblr_backup_for_beginners.md
Yes, you’ll need to do a bit of work but it is totally worth it. Your entire blog is downloaded to your hard drive, organised by year and month using web pages. Very easy to navigate. I just downloaded my entire blog all the way back to 2011 in the space of 10 minutes.
It works, people. And the instructions are clear.
Log off from Tumblr this 17th.
I have transferred this whole blog safely over to a new home at 2mblr.com/spankingnl
You can view all my past posts and Follow me there!
Thank you for your kind words. I will miss the community here also. Please don’t be a stranger and look me up. Especially my main site: https://billenkoek.info
For everyone’s information:
The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.
To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.
On the 17th, dead silence.
People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.
But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.
What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’
A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.
If you want to join in, here’s what to do:
Do:
- Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th
- Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad
- Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion
- Come back on the 18th and check in
Don’t:
- Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)
- Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.
- Open the app or website (including specific blogs)
- Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)
- Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.
Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.
Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.
Peaceful protest pointed at ad revenue, spiking activity elsewhere. Genius.
Here is an experiment. On the 18th, everyone posts up adult based pictures that is within the limits of the new so-called guidelines and note the response from Tumblr.
Imagine the fun if their filters “explode” :-)
So, who’s all joining this then, eh?

ways to save your current tumblr posts
- use the wayback machine! you do have to archive each page of your blog individually but once you do all the content, including media, will be saved exactly as it was at the moment you archived it.
- wordpress allows you to directly import whole tumblr blogs, and if i recall correctly it’s something both dreamwidth and pillowfort have said they are working on.
- if you have some knowledge of computers you can try this github solution which uses a python script to download your whole blog to your computer. even if you don’t know anything about programming or the command line they give a very good beginners tutorial on how to use it so you should still give it a shot!
- if that’s still a little daunting you can try soarcodes’ tumblr post that also has a decent tutorial!
some notes
please note that every site on this list will have pros and cons, and i haven’t listed them here since this post would be a mile long otherwise. please do your research before moving completely over to another site in case they have policies you disagree with.
also, because I see a lot of misinformed people ranting about this: deviantart does not own the art you post. some years ago hot topic stole a ton of art from DA and sold it on merchandise and people assumed that DA gave them permission to do it despite there being literally zero evidence for that claim. DA explictly states in their TOS that you retain copyright and sole license of the art you post.

libertine.center listed as modern site! Thank you and see you all there ;)
Wow!!! 😍😎
Good info
Oooo!
The trust is broken.
So, I’ve read some stuff arguing in favor of staying on Tumblr. They’ll refine the algorithm. Text posts will be okay. The community can still thrive here. But I keep coming back to one question: How do you trust it? How do you continue investing yourself in something that has betrayed you before and might do it again without giving any fucks at all?
My blog has gone through waves of being porn-heavy and waves of being porn-light. Sometimes weeks at a time go by without any porn at all. There’s still a lot to like on Tumblr, even without porn. But every time I see something I like, my finger hovers over the reblog button. What is even the point?
It feels like an exercise in futility. I don’t know what this place even means in 11 days. I don’t know what it will look like, and I don’t trust Verizon not to purge all blogs marked as explicit in their next policy change. Maybe they won’t even warn us. Maybe I’ll wake up one day and find that all of this is gone, with no recourse.
When I get really honest with myself, most of what I love about Tumblr isn’t going away—at least not as a matter of policy. I just don’t know how to trust that this is the worst of it. My trust in this platform is is fundamentally broken. And because of that, it’s not my home anymore. I might walk in. I might sit down. But I don’t know if I’ll ever feel comfortable taking my shoes off and making myself a snack. It’s not my home; it’s a place where I’m allowed to sit. Maybe. For a little while. As long as I’m not too loud or disruptive and don’t overstay my welcome.
I’m not really sure what to do with that. How do you recover from that? How do you stay in spite of it? Can this place become something new to me? Not the place where I can be authentically me in every way, but maybe something else? Something that still has value? I just don’t know yet.

Well spoken! It *is* about the broken trust. For me the decision is clear. After December 17, Tumblr will no longer be a place for me. I’ve already stopped posting adult content on this blog. After that date, there will be no more blog. I plan to delete and not come back.
I need a place that I can trust so I can express myself. So I have chosen to set up my own site. There, I can be who I am and no one gets to judge what can and what can’t stay: https://billenkoek.info
