hey guys, here's pitchfork's side of the story, from ryan schreiber [prez/founder]: http://pitchfork.tumblr.com/post/393233651/dear-tumblr-community http://pitchfork.tumblr.com/post/393233651/dear-tumblr-commu... im not going to personally comment on this one, so here's the gist of ryan's letter: the site had very few, very infrequent posts, and tumblr readily handed it over when we asked about it. nothing dubious, no back-alley handshakes, nothing funky. the original poster is welcome to take it back, we never had any intentions of evicting active residents from their property. give it a read. full disclosure: i work @ pitchfork.

I don't think anyone sees something wrong with Pitchfork here, just Tumblr.

If Pitchfork is willing to relinquish the domain, they should do so immediately. What are you waiting for? "We’ll be happy to surrender the URL and find a home elsewhere if the original register of the account wishes." The OP has already made a huge fuss about it. What else must he do to express his wishes?

  He might enjoy making a fuss about it more than the tumblr account itself.
