One of the problems it Tumblr is that you kind of have to be there all the time to do more than effectively lurk. I go on Tumblr for an hour or two every other day or so, and I've seen some friends and fellow fans' minds boggled by this. Hell, recently I saw a post made by someone that they were reblogging something again because they'd "heard that there were people who aren't on Tumblr all the time" followed by lots of question marks.

The entire model is set up to encourage people to never leave, and kind of encourages Internet addiction. The amount of kids on there who post endlessly and then whine about their parents restricting their Internet access is just ridiculous. I think the idea of having something that easily takes up all your time is appealing to some people, but for those of us who just pop our heads into fandom for a few hours a day, rather than being attached via smartphone all day long, Tumblr is a nightmare because it doesn't really have a 'digest' or a way to get a summary of what happened. It's all or nothing if you want to do more than enjoy pretty pictures and gifsets.

One thing I loved about being in a fandom where there was an active forum: it was something I could easily dip in and out of as time allowed and posts would still be there days or months later. If I wanted to catch up on a thread, I just had to read that thread, not the entire forum.
