It looks very much like a long-running recovery of their main database cluster. When you have one of those clusters growing into hundreds of gigabytes and if it crashes, the recovery takes a very long time. Unless they are having trouble with the integrity of the recovered database, I would think that they were not running a properly sharded infrastructure (disclaimer: this is guesswork).
Unfortunately, this is a nightmare scenario for people who run large scale websites. It should not happen - but it happens more than anyone would like to admit.

Unfortunately, this is a nightmare scenario for people who run large scale websites. It should not happen - but it happens more than anyone would like to admit.
Slightly off-topic, but part of the problem is that they don't have any other infrastructure outside Tumblr.com itself to update users about anything. I can imagine these things not being there in place due to the rapid rate at which they have grown.
It is not easy to pull off such growth for systems that probably were not built for such scale. I hope with the new investment they can go about addressing these gaps in their critical infrastructure and communication.

Where do I start?
I’m a huge financial nerd, and have spent an embarrassing amount of time talking to people about their money habits.
Here are the biggest mistakes people are making and how to fix them:
Not having a separate high interest savings account
Having a separate account allows you to see the results of all your hard work and keep your money separate so you're less tempted to spend it.
Plus with rates above 5.00%, the interest you can earn compared to most banks really adds up.

Overpaying on car insurance
You’ve heard it a million times before, but the average American family still overspends by $417/year on car insurance.
If you’ve been with the same insurer for years, chances are you are one of them.
Pull up Coverage.com, a free site that will compare prices for you, answer the questions on the page, and it will show you how much you could be saving.
That’s it. You’ll likely be saving a bunch of money. Here’s a link to give it a try.
Consistently being in debt
If you’ve got $10K+ in debt (credit cards…medical bills…anything really) you could use a debt relief program and potentially reduce by over 20%.
Here’s how to see if you qualify:
Head over to this Debt Relief comparison website here, then simply answer the questions to see if you qualify.
It’s as simple as that. You’ll likely end up paying less than you owed before and you could be debt free in as little as 2 years.
Missing out on free money to invest
It’s no secret that millionaires love investing, but for the rest of us, it can seem out of reach.
Times have changed. There are a number of investing platforms that will give you a bonus to open an account and get started. All you have to do is open the account and invest at least $25, and you could get up to $1000 in bonus.
Pretty sweet deal right? Here is a link to some of the best options.
Having bad credit
A low credit score can come back to bite you in so many ways in the future.
From that next rental application to getting approved for any type of loan or credit card, if you have a bad history with credit, the good news is you can fix it.
Head over to BankRate.com and answer a few questions to see if you qualify. It only takes a few minutes and could save you from a major upset down the line.

Per TechCrunch ( http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/06/tumbled/ )
"Some scheduled maintenance yesterday that wasn’t intended to interrupt service went haywire and wound up taking down a critical database cluster. Rebuilding the entire cluster has been a painfully slow and manual process, but we’re almost through. We’ll be posting a recap when we’re back up." -- David Karp
It’s because Yahoo bought Tumblr in 2014–15 for US$1.1 billion from its founder, David Karp.
Very soon after the purchase, Yahoo started altering the admin interfaces and various other technicalities and functionalities — thereby causing usage difficulties for the users.
In addition, it also started targeting certain types of content on Tumblr. That alienated a sizable proportion of the user base.

To put it more diplomatically, Tumblr was on the downturn after the Yahoo acquisition mainly because Yahoo is well known for its tendency of not really understanding the whys and wherefores of many of its corporate assets.
Witness the fate of GeoCities under Yahoo. Witness Tumblr now.
Another important factor is Verizon.
In July 2017, Verizon bought Yahoo for US$4.1 billion.
Verizon is famous for its iron hand in running its services and subsidiaries. Any service or subsidiary that is deemed to be problematic in some way, Verizon’s tendency is to ‘streamline’ the operations in categoric ways and reduce dissension by mass redundancies. This has happened to Yahoo, Huffington Post and Tumblr, among others.
Just one week after the Verizon purchase, Yahoo introduced “Safe Mode” to Tumblr and targeted NSFW for removal with increasing intensity (by whatever criteria best known to Yahoo).
That NSFW-removal effort now culminates in Tumblr disallowing any NSFW content as from 17 Dec 2018.
Right now. 10/4/2021. Officially Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram have been down well over three hours. DNS A Records, AAAA Records, CNAME, NS records have been nuked according to NSLookup.io. See reference images below.

Tumblr was down so I thought I'd answer this question.
I suppose I'd ask: transparent to whom? The sometimes disgruntled Tumblr users? It's certainly "transparent" to them, because they see whenever the site is down, particularly since the users who would see downtime are such incredibly frequent returners.
But overall, Tumblr limits its interactions with the world at large. Staff.tumblr largely directs users to "recommended" Tumblrs (not a great idea in my opinion but sound for business reasons--popular individual Tumblrs makes for a popular corporate Tumblr!) and makes the occasional announcem

I suppose I'd ask: transparent to whom? The sometimes disgruntled Tumblr users? It's certainly "transparent" to them, because they see whenever the site is down, particularly since the users who would see downtime are such incredibly frequent returners.
But overall, Tumblr limits its interactions with the world at large. Staff.tumblr largely directs users to "recommended" Tumblrs (not a great idea in my opinion but sound for business reasons--popular individual Tumblrs makes for a popular corporate Tumblr!) and makes the occasional announcements (app updates, new features, etc.). They do *not* often promise forthcoming things or give away what they're working on, which is smart. Their intentional outlook is cheery and bright and a little distant and almost sometimes a little too cute for those of us who aren't 22. But it's effective. And it's a good message for what the company is.
They're not a server company, however. So they don't run something transparent like, say, status.dreamhost.com-- which is largely a place for people to *not* get customer service, but to vent in the comments. That's decent transparency for a services company, but in a sense, Tumblr isn't a "services" company--while their job is making a platform and keeping it up (oh and maybe someday being money-making and/or hiring women! (Sorry! I love Tumblr, I really do, but 15 men? Really?)), it's almost more of a lifestyle company. That's its genius and why it's so successful. It's not thought of as an external tool; it's thought of as an expression.
So: I think they have a good rationale for not being more transparent in this way. Do occasional frustrations drive users away? Maybe--but for sure, not too frequently, if you look at their <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/about">traffic</a>.

"The key flaw that caused this outage to be so severe was an unfortunate handling of an error condition. An automated system for verifying configuration values ended up causing much more damage than it fixed.
The intent of the automated system is to check for configuration values that are invalid in the cache and replace them with updated values from the persistent store. This works well for a transient problem with the cache, but it doesn’t work when the persistent store is invalid.
This meant that every single client saw the invalid value and attempted to fix it. Because the fix involves making a query to a cluster of databases, that cluster was quickly overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of queries a second.
To make matters worse, every time a client got an error attempting to query one of the databases it interpreted it as an invalid value, and deleted the corresponding cache key. This meant that even after the original problem had been fixed, the stream of queries continued." - Facebook Engineering

Its death will come in the form of it slowly driving off those of its userbase who didn't quit over the initial ban.

That said, Tumblr still has its uses for me, as a place to share my images and links and as a place to read what others contribute.

2. You Can Become a Real Estate Investor for as Little as $10
Take a look at some of the world’s wealthiest people. What do they have in common? Many invest in large private real estate deals. And here’s the thing: There’s no reason you can’t, too — for as little as $10.
An investment called the Fundrise Flagship Fund lets you get started in the world of real estate by giving you access to a low-cost, diversified portfolio of private real estate. The best part? You don’t have to be the landlord. The Flagship Fund does all the heavy lifting.
With an initial investment as low as $10, your money will be invested in the Fund, which already owns more than $1 billion worth of real estate around the country, from apartment complexes to the thriving housing rental market to larger last-mile e-commerce logistics centers.
Want to invest more? Many investors choose to invest $1,000 or more. This is a Fund that can fit any type of investor’s needs. Once invested, you can track your performance from your phone and watch as properties are acquired, improved, and operated. As properties generate cash flow, you could earn money through quarterly dividend payments. And over time, you could earn money off the potential appreciation of the properties.
So if you want to get started in the world of real-estate investing, it takes just a few minutes to sign up and create an account with the Fundrise Flagship Fund.
This is a paid advertisement. Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fundrise Real Estate Fund before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus. Read them carefully before investing.
3. Stop Paying Your Credit Card Company
If you have credit card debt, you know. The anxiety, the interest rates, the fear you’re never going to escape… but a website called AmONE wants to help.
If you owe your credit card companies $100,000 or less, AmONE will match you with a low-interest loan you can use to pay off every single one of your balances.
The benefit? You’ll be left with one bill to pay each month. And because personal loans have lower interest rates (AmONE rates start at 6.40% APR), you’ll get out of debt that much faster.
It takes less than a minute and just 10 questions to see what loans you qualify for.
4. Earn $1000/Month by Reviewing Games and Products You Love
Okay, real talk—everything is crazy expensive right now, and let’s be honest, we could all use a little extra cash. But who has time for a second job?
Here’s the good news. You’re already playing games on your phone to kill time, relax, or just zone out. So why not make some extra cash while you’re at it?

Oh, and here’s a little pro tip: If you wanna cash out even faster, spending $2 on an in-app purchase to skip levels can help you hit your first $50+ payout way quicker.
Once you’ve got $10, you can cash out instantly through PayPal—no waiting around, just straight-up money in your account.
Seriously, you’re already playing—might as well make some money while you’re at it. Sign up for KashKick and start earning now!
5. Earn Up to $50 this Month By Answering Survey Questions About the News — It’s Anonymous
The news is a heated subject these days. It’s hard not to have an opinion on it.
Good news: A website called YouGov will pay you up to $50 or more this month just to answer survey questions about politics, the economy, and other hot news topics.
Plus, it’s totally anonymous, so no one will judge you for that hot take.
When you take a quick survey (some are less than three minutes), you’ll earn points you can exchange for up to $50 in cash or gift cards to places like Walmart and Amazon. Plus, Penny Hoarder readers will get an extra 500 points for registering and another 1,000 points after completing their first survey.
It takes just a few minutes to sign up and take your first survey, and you’ll receive your points immediately.
6. Earn as Much as $1K/Month Doing Simple Online Tasks
Is there such a thing as easy money? If you know your way around the web, there certainly is.
That’s because data is currency these days, and many companies are willing to pay cash for it — up to $1,000 per month.
Finding these companies can be time-consuming on your own. But a company called Freecash has compiled all sorts of quick cash tasks from about a dozen advertisers and market research companies thirsty for more data. Freecash has paid out over $13 million to users since 2019.
You can pick and choose your tasks and complete them at your convenience. The coins you earn from each completed task can be converted into things like Visa gift cards, Amazon gift cards, cryptocurrency or cold-hard PayPal cash.
Signing up for a Freecash account is easy and there’s no minimum amount you need to earn before you can cash out. And if you’ve got enough free time on your hands, you can join the ranks of Freecash users making more than $1,000 a month in extra cash.
Sign up here to see how much you could earn.
7. Ask This Company to Get a Big Chunk of Your Debt Forgiven
A company called National Debt Relief could convince your lenders to simply get rid of a big chunk of what you owe. No bankruptcy, no loans — you don’t even need to have good credit.
If you owe at least $10,000 in unsecured debt (credit card debt, personal loans, medical bills, etc.), National Debt Relief’s experts will build you a monthly payment plan. As your payments add up, they negotiate with your creditors to reduce the amount you owe. You then pay off the rest in a lump sum.
On average, you could become debt-free within 24 to 48 months. It takes less than a minute to sign up and see how much debt you could get rid of.
8. Get Up to $300 Just for Setting Up Direct Deposit With This Account
If you bank at a traditional brick-and-mortar bank, your money probably isn’t growing much (c’mon, 0.40% is basically nothing).
But there’s good news: With SoFi Checking and Savings (member FDIC), you stand to gain up to a hefty 3.80% APY on savings when you set up a direct deposit or have $5,000 or more in Qualifying Deposits and 0.50% APY on checking balances — savings APY is 10 times more than the national average.
Right now, a direct deposit of at least $1K not only sets you up for higher returns but also brings you closer to earning up to a $300 welcome bonus (terms apply).
You can easily deposit checks via your phone’s camera, transfer funds, and get customer service via chat or phone call. There are no account fees, no monthly fees and no overdraft fees. And your money is FDIC insured (up to $3M of additional FDIC insurance through the SoFi Insured Deposit Program).
It’s quick and easy to open an account with SoFi Checking and Savings (member FDIC) and watch your money grow faster than ever.

As of July 18, 2012, Tumblr has over 64.7 million blogs. According to comScore, it scored 13.4 million unique visitors in the United States alone in July 2011—up 218% from July 2010
So the traffic goes up and makes it slow
The staff couldn’t figure out how to use it, and didn’t realise the vast majority of their users are like 200000000% smarter than they are, so they just turned it off?
I’m just guessing. I’ve kind of given up on answering questions about most of tumblr’s operational side because I have a LOT of sarcasm in my heart.

Tumblr is a large website, and therefore is going to be hard to maintain.
Also, as you scroll down your dash/feed, as far as I know, Tumblr doesn’t unload posts you’ve already scrolled past, so you basically have a huge tower of code, and not low power code, loaded on your computer.
Also.. Tumblr is very, very poorly managed. Tumblr doesn’t seem to care at all about the pedophiles and shoplifters on their site. They don’t really do much of anything with reports. They don’t care about the thousands of porn bots running rampant on their site.

Also, as you scroll down your dash/feed, as far as I know, Tumblr doesn’t unload posts you’ve already scrolled past, so you basically have a huge tower of code, and not low power code, loaded on your computer.
Also.. Tumblr is very, very poorly managed. Tumblr doesn’t seem to care at all about the pedophiles and shoplifters on their site. They don’t really do much of anything with reports. They don’t care about the thousands of porn bots running rampant on their site.
It is also poorly managed when it comes to.. running a website. It’s not just growing pains any website would experience, the code of Tumblr is terrible. The website is just not well managed, issues are left for months if they’re ever touched at all, and sometimes Tumblr does things literally nobody asked for.
I can’t really blame them, a lot of Tumblr is pretty trash to say the least, but it’d be nice if they actually managed the website properly.
Also, Tumblr itself aside, you could be using a relatively slow computer or slow internet, which would affect the speed Tumblr loads at, especially because it is not a light website to load, given all the images, gifs, and videos.
Browser Issues
If you're certain your login details are correct, a browser issue may be preventing you from logging on successfully. Switching to an alternative browser and attempting to log in to Tumblr through that one can help determine if your default browser is to blame.

Since uptime is an issue as they are growing at a tremendous rate, as Twitter once had to deal with when they hit critical mass, Tumblr should have a blog (that doesn't exist on Tumblr, of course) to keep people up to date on the uptime of the site, what they're doing about it currently, and what infrastructure is being put in place to make sure it doesn't happen in the future.

Twitter is one good way to do this but is too fleeting and doesn't allow folks to read more in depth information about this. They have a staff tumblr but obviously you wouldn't be able to reach that in the event of downtime.
I've been forced to use Postling to do a good deal of my blogging at Tumblr because of the limitations that the Tumblr dashboard currently has:
* I can't import multiple RSS feeds, Twitter feeds, Facebook feeds, Flickr feeds etc into my dashboard to use for the basis of posts.
* I can't manage multiple Tumblr account logins from a single dashboard unless they are sub-Tumblrs of the one I currently am logged into. I can't reblog something into another Tumblr login, even though I can add myself as a member of the sub-Tumblrs that exist under that other Tumblr login and reblog from another account.

I use tumblr and they have just gone down again - its been an hour or so. Looking at tumblr's recent growth I would say they are having a few problems keeping up with demand. Their content is served by a CDN (Content delivery Network) which should prevent this sort of thing happening. They mention in their system message that they are experiencing problems with their database cluster. When a CDN gets into trouble the solution can be a bigger problem to sort out and when fixed takes a couple of hours at least to filter through to the rest of the web - http://domclaxton.tumblr.com
While I agree with many of the suggestions, I believe we're thinking too small.
Tumblr should have two long-term goals:
- Grow the size and density of the Tumblr network, as that increases both the reach of the network (more awesome stuff is discovered and shared by people) and the engagement of users.
- Help artists / businesses to make money by growing the (revenue) pie. Most likely this means expanding into e-commerce, since advertising is antithetical to the Tumblr audience.

Tumblr should have two long-term goals:

- Help artists / businesses to make money by growing the (revenue) pie. Most likely this means expanding into e-commerce, since advertising is antithetical to the Tumblr audience.
Here's how I would execute towards those goals:
- Improve the new user on-boarding experience to better cater to those who naturally consume content, not create content. Right now the on-boarding process is very good at getting you set up and publishing your first post, but Tumblr is large enough now that the mix has shifted. I suspect the majority of new users today are more comfortable following others and reading their dashboards than publishing. Help new users discover 25 users they will most enjoy following. Over time, those users will graduate to publishers (or rebloggers).
- Add IM chat to allow Tumblrs to chat with each other. I'd make sure to require double authentication (like gChat does) to avoid harassment. The Meebo Bar might be good inspiration. The motivation here is to further drive time on site and user engagement.
- Allow transactions via blog post. Artists should be able to sell their music / photographs / jewelry directly from their posts, paid via credit card or paypal without leaving Tumblr. A large part of Etsy's success has been allowing people to believe they could quit their jobs and support themselves by selling their work via Etsy. Tumblr could take that same aspiration from the handmade community and apply it to music, apps, art, second-hand items, or services. Who needs a search engine when you've got your network acting as a social filter? I talk about this in much greater detail (and defend Tumblr's recent $135M valuation) on my blog: http://caterpillarcowboy.com/post/1669998456/tumblr-as-one-giant-human-relevancy-filter-and-how
Yes, search is terrible. Yes, the API is horribly crippled. Yes, the uptime is embarrassing. But these are fixable issues, and they aren't holding back Tumblr's growth or from reaching their full potential.
The long tail of small / independent businesses is enormous, completely fragmented, and impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff. The Tumblr community, better than any technology or community ever created, can find the diamonds in the rough.
Because it is still a popular micro-blogging for artistic niche. It’s free. It’s a mix breed of Twitter and Pinterest; re-blogging, love it ans even share outside Tumblr (theme dependent)
If you're having trouble with the app, try the following: Log out and log back in.
Visit the apps area of your device settings and clear the cache and data for Tumblr. Remove and reinstall the app, making sure you're using Android OS 5.1 or higher.
The most usual reason a tumblr blog gets suspended is due to copyright infringement.
This happens when said blog reposts things instead of reblogging and doesn’t give proper credit. Even if they do give credit to the creator, many creators explicitly state that people are not allowed to repost their content even when credit is given, and this may lead to suspension of the blog that violated this rule.
Some other reasons that get blogs suspended are:
- hateful speech
- discrimination
- bullying
- racism
- sexual content

What happened to Tumblr is that it was bought by Yahoo a few years ago, and since then it has been taken over by consumer ads, influencer profiles, ad profiles, SJW profiles and political agendas.
But Tumblr still has its core community and some of the best imagery and art online!

I think its just because they have to push a lot of content which is mostly high quality and thus it takes some time to display it. Just don't scroll too far because sometimes it crashes.
Tumblr appear to be using Scala for some new backend services. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3053965
By the looks of it your account seems to have been mistaken by a bot account, hence the termination. If you contacted the staff then I think your problem will be solved pretty soon. They tend to be helpful about terminated accounts by mistake.
