Just noticed this Tumblr blog, and thought I'd take a closer look at it, especially after this was what got my attention:
It talked about rabbit holes, which got me thinking about Alice in Wonderland. Then I noticed the large number of posts surrounding Meghan Markle, and thought I'd take a closer look at it.
Has anyone else seen this site before, and has an opinion?

This needs to be thought about in several contexts.
For example, other posters have mentioned sites featuring and critical of Meghan Markle that have been frozen, gone private or even disappeared. On the other hand, very unflattering remarks and allegations about such things as yachting are getting into the DM comment sections so it is all going mainstream.
I really don’t like Tumblr in general. It is presented as a micro-blogging and social networking site; it seems unsuitable for this particular blog. Tumblr may be ok for small entries, but posts that go on and on and have many pictures then get quoted and commented on a few times put me off.
I don’t like having to trawl and trawl either. This site has a lot of other material and topics too. So do we, but we have boards and threads so it is not all jumbled up!
Layout is one thing; content is something else. Alice and rabbit holes sound interesting. I will come back to this when I get the chance.

transformer knows a lot about these sites and blogs. Meghan and her PR team may be reading or even posting on some of them, and Meghan is said to be the founder of others. IamstillSkippy is another name. Does Tom ‘Skippy’ Inskip, Prince Harry’s former friend, have any connections here? I have said a few times that having just one giant thread would make life simpler; I have gone right off that idea after looking at this Tumblr blog!

Black, white and red
We have mentioned this colour combination a few times. It is used to symbolise the three phases of the moon and can have a sinister meaning,
Maybe the black and white panda with the red background has nothing to do with witches and is just a striking colour scheme.

I didn't think much of ProBoards when I first encountered it, but after looking at this and a couple of other Tumblr sites PB now seems a much better option. I just can't see the attraction of Tumblr at all.
As a guest, I like to go straight to topics I am interested in and not have to scroll through a lot of other posts. I don't like to see large amounts of cut and pasted material with no commentaries or connections either.
Still, it is the owner's right to have the content they want the way they want it.

It's far from perfect, but PB does have some advantages.
Need to start an Alice in wonderland thread, particularly with what I have been learning!

You have raised several points here and in your messages. It may take a while to cover them all.
I must say that I just can't get to like Tumblr, but it is the owners and members of the blogs that need to be happy with it.
The criticism of some bloggers for what they say about MM may have backfired as it is getting more visitors for them!
Alice in Wonderland appears in many threads - monarchy, celebrities, pigs, rabbits...

Personally, a much better blogging platform is Wordpress. Lots of possibilities with it, and businesses use it as well.

Skippy is down, as of 8:55 PM PST May 13 2019 This is alarming news. I wonder why it has been closed and who is involved. I thought that discussing the royals was safe on sites hosted outside the UK. |

I see that the cache and the Wayback Machine go down to a certain point then stop. WM seems ok for 'normal' sites but not so good for some boards and blogs.
I see that Tumblr closed some accounts for extreme X-certificate contents a while back and lost a lot of support. I have no idea why Skippy has gone.

“Need to start an Alice in wonderland thread, particularly with what I have been learning!” What have you been learning Avacyn! Alice has appeared several times since you posted that. Get yourself settled and sorted, then if and when you have the capacity come back here and let us know what you have found. |

It's strange that the Skippy blog seems to have gone. I'll have to see if I can dig a little deeper, and see if I can learn something. There was a bit of copying of information from here to the blog, so at least anyone who is interested can still have access to that information.
Alice... well, it's interesting. I think I have an idea or two as to why it was published at all. But a seperate thread is really needed, because Lewis Carrol has to be looked at as well. It's interconnected, it seems.

I will leave this for today; I am a little confused. There does seem to be some kind of general purge going on in the US. And then we will maybe have to think about Articles 11 and 13. I am rather worried about some of our pictures.
Skippy is a kangaroo. If you go down the rabbit hole, you might come out in Australia!

Lavendel I think that this is a new name for the same blog. Avacyn is thinking about how to save all the posts on here and keep some of them private. He is investigating various options.

Alice in Wonderland and the land of Oz(tralia)
Australia is mentioned in connection with falling down the rabbit hole:
“‘I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think—’ (she was rather glad there was no one listening, this time, as it didn’t sound at all the right word) ‘—but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know.
Please, Ma’am, is this New Zealand or Australia?’ (and she tried to curtsey as she spoke—fancy curtseying as you’re falling through the air! Do you think you could manage it?) ‘And what an ignorant little girl she’ll think me for asking! No, it’ll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere.’”
From Alice in Wonderland

Hiding and sliding
I said a while back that I preferred not having to trawl and trawl through irrelevant posts while looking for a specific topic. This reminds me of a posting technique that is used for both good and evil purposes. I first learned about ‘sliding’ from a poster on the David Icke Forum (RIP). It is used when trolls and enemies post and post irrelevant material to push important information off the page. This makes it more difficult for seekers after the truth to notice key information. ‘Hiding’ is when the truth seekers post miscellaneous material for camouflage purposes. Avacyn I think you said that Peaches Geldof did this on her social media, slipping clues and significant information in among all the pictures of fashion etc. The important material is hidden among the mass of other stuff. Hiding makes it more difficult for enemies to see the revelations, but unfortunately this applies to allies and investigators too! So maybe all the non-Meghan material on the old Skippy blog was added to make it less easy for the trolls and ‘sugars’ to spot the key posts!

Post news then move on to conspiracy them to magic, we go away come back , post sherlocks then news. Instictively this has protected us so far . Royaldish royal forums think of us lowly as conspiracy theorists but come around to read from us but dont have guts to join us. sorry for the grammer mistakes my fingers are swollen. i will take a break from active posting for some weeks to rest. UnseenI you wont be alone as Avacyn is back now. |

Lavendel hiding and sliding works best when it is done all in one thread! We have many boards and threads on here but Tumblr from what I have seen is just one long string of posts. I first learned about sliding from a poster in the very long Jimmy Savile thread on the DIF. Anyway, I am sorry to hear that you are taking another break, but typing can do a lot of damage and it is essential not to do too much. Avacyn sometimes uses a Bluetooth keyboard with his phone. I will try to keep going - typing is still causing problems for me too! I hope that you will keep in touch by reading the posts. Alles gute!

Lavendel do you know about Google Blogspot? You can create a private blog that no one will see. You can store pictures and text there. Linking to pictures and posts works though if you want people to see something.
