  8. maced asked: Hi! I have a few questions regarding some changes with the ask box function: 1) Why has tumblr eliminated the ability to hit 'enter' in ask boxes? and 2) Why are there character limits in asks? Ask messages are one of the main ways tumblr users communicate with each other. It's seems like the website is actively reducing functionality and communication b/w its users.

    We’ve been gradually tightening the Ask feature to eventually ensure real questions are all that make it through. In addition to keeping out spam and junk, we’re doing this in preparation for some new feedback tools that are about to roll out. This is increasingly important as the current Ask feature was not designed for high-volume communication and is becoming problematic to scale.

    While I promise the new features will be some of the greatest we’ve built, I must stress that we have no plans to make Tumblr a replacement for email. You can send your friends as many messages as you want with Gmail, Gchat, Facebook, etc.
