Got IP-banned from Tumblr for participating in the ArchiveTeam scrape. I can still view posts through the dashboard, but not the webpage view.
Guess how I'm getting around this?
If you guessed "by submitting the pages to the Internet Archive and then viewing the archived version", you're absolutely fucking right.
(I mean, I suppose I could probably use a proxy or something, but this does have the advantage of being extremely meta.)

Apparently, despite not (yet) actually having read any fic set in Downside, I have absorbed enough glowfic that my first thought when I saw this was "well, I'm certainly doing the Downside admin's work".

Update: being IP-banned does *not* prevent use of the tumblr-utils backup script, so I don't even need to bother setting up a workaround in order for my personal automatic backups to continue operating.

I suspect that either the blog will be purged or I will be banned again or both before the scrape is completed, but I will leave it running overnight just in case it accomplishes something.
