Here's the most "Millennials" article about it.
edit: but this is a tough contender:One Twitter user pointed out that there are fewer spaces on the board, presumably because millennials are too lazy to finish an entire game of Monopoly.
CNN wrote:"Well, avocado toast is our 'fav,' Ray-Bans are 'on fleek,' and cameras because, 'pics or it didn't happen!' The struggle is real for Millennials, so we chose items that we felt were relatable, but would also make fans of all ages LOL," the company told CNN in an email.

That was one of the sources I was thinking about. The copyright office has been one of the crazier sources for very early silent films that were lost. Back then, no one knew how films should be copyrighted, so some films were copied frame by frame to cards and then filed that way. With a lot of work, it’s possible to restore them and put them back in a viewable form, although they tend to not look great. But at least they still exist.Mr. Big wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 3:30 pmAgreed
If you follow Steve Stanchfield's posts on Cartoon Research, he's always looking all over for the best sources of rare and obscure cartoons so he can remaster them. Sometimes he finds them in film archives (including the Library of Congress), but he also finds them in unusual places at times as well.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
I've been noticing an increase in followers on Newgrounds this week. Apparently because of that latest shitshow on Tumblr a lot of people are migrating to that site.
I guess that's one way for a mostly-abandoned site to get its glory back: wait for another popular site to implode or something

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
Tumblr's been mass deleting pornbots on the site, only to take down some of the legit sites down with it, so some people are looking at other sites as backups just in case (the two most popular options seem to be Twitter and Newgrounds)
There is a way to request to have your deleted blogs restored, but Tumblr seems to be doing that at random. One artist I follow gave up on the idea of Tumblr restoring one of his blogs and just moved it to Twitter.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
It's amazing how much shit people have put up with from that site. There was talk of starting a new site like it, like how there were a dozen LiveJournal clones for a while, but I haven't heard talk of it in years. I wonder if they figured out that, without serious restrictions on what you could upload to it, the hosting bills would escalate to small-country-GDP levels in a big hurry.

I imagine Tumblr is pretty backlogged on the "restore my blog" front so personally I wouldn't panick quite yet if they take a bit
Tumblr is run like trash but it's not as full of nazis as Twitter or as unusable as Instagram so I put up with it

What's even left to be live action? The backgrounds?
Funnily enough, it wouldn't be the first time; apparently Dinosaur did that.

I finally ran out of space in my free Dropbox account, so I broke down and upgraded to add 1TB.
That really made a difference. What I already had in Dropbox amounted to less than 2% of the upgraded space.

I don't know why I never heard of this until now, but there's a software called Postybirb that allows you to post your art on multiple platforms at the same time, including DA, FA, Twitter, Tumblr, Weasyl, Mastadon...and Derpibooru plus others.
This is a huge time saver for me. I should've downloaded this years ago.

Verily, the serpent offered me a carrot, and I ate.
And being ashamed of my nakedness, I gathered fig leaves and fashioned this most delightful summer dress, not too fancy, suitable for casual or evening wear.
I’m not mad, just disappointed.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
I consider Chuck Jones a major influence, but some of his later cartoons are...not his career highlights
Case in point, he did a follow up to "One Froggy Evening" in the 1990s called "Another Froggy Evening". This is how it ended:
Note that the frog gets as big as Marvin in one shot. I remember reading a post from a guy who animated that scene: he was just as confused about the size relation, but Jones drew it that way in the layouts so he was stuck with it.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
Yeah, that's not going over well with people at all. Especially since innocent things get caught by the porn terminator bot.
The whole reason Tumblr is doing this is because they got in trouble and got kicked out of an app store because there was too much child porn on their site. Which is disgusting of course, and people have been trying to tell the site to boot the pedos for years. But this won't necessarily end it. Pedos will still post creepy shit, even if it's not explicit. Besides, there was no action at all until the app got banished.
It's a bit disappointing that so many are going to leave. There aren't really any other sites like it, and it was a good place for people to make practice webcomics, or "ask" blogs for fun. I mean there's pillowfort, but a) not free yet and b) it's down a lot. Twitter isn't really a replacement for this.

Oh. People were saying "App Store" and I thought it was because Apple doesn't allow any porn at all. But if this is over something they could have prevented by just hiring some fucking moderators, then this is even stupider.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
Tumblr's app previously had a safe mode toggle that could be turned off if you wanted to be able to see NSFW stuff with it. That was presumably enough to satisfy Apple, up until someone posted child porn that wasn't in whatever database Tumblr matched image posts against. I guess that panicked Apple and made them forbid the app entirely.
As dumb as Tumblr's lack of moderation is, I'm still not happy with Apple's reactionary App Store policy either. I'm reminded of when the Charleston church massacre happened and Apple reacted by pulling every Civil War-related app, even all those that didn't glorify the Confederates and presented a reasonable view of the war.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
All Tumblr, and any other site that relies on user-generated content, would have to do is have a second tier on their flagging system called something like Emergency Report, reserved only for the most serious offenses. Anyone can flag any post with it, and the report immediately goes to one of the few human admins they can be assed to pay, but if you misuse it even once, your account gets hit with an instant suspension. Second offense—or first, if your account is almost brand new—is a permanent ban.
Nobody expects every single post to go into a moderation queue staffed by hundreds of sweatshop workers, but there's got to be an acceptable middle ground that keeps them out of trouble and doesn't cost them an arm and a leg.
I say this purely as advice for anyone else who has an inkling to start up their own competing service, mind; Tumblr was too far gone to ever do a single thing right as soon as Verizon bought them out and possibly years before that.
