That makes a lot of sense! Thank you so much for explaining, I didn't really understand Tumblr before. I think you're right.

As for the slow dying of DA, I notice it, there is just this feel that things are slowing down almost imperceptibly. I know I haven't been quite as active the past few months as I was in the summer, but the energy that I get here feels somewhat less than I would have expected, less than before. I've experimented with Reddit and there is a certain fire there that DA lacks.

I think I will revive my Tumblr and see where it goes. I think I had trouble finding a theme I liked, but that should be solvable. 

Tumblr should also be a good medium for little journal posts like project updates, little thoughts on art, sketches and occasional anime comments (there are so many things I would love to say about Anima Yell, for example ^^)

I could write journals here on DA, but I've noticed how few people read them, it's not very motivating.

I'll definitely pick up Tumblr. Thank you!
