That comment was from a few years ago so the poster may be relatively distant to Tumblr nowadays and it might take a few additional people-hops (if it doesn't fall through) to get anywhere. I also wonder if old/deactivated non-public account data is held indefinitely (eg, private messages)... it probably is...
Regarding Stripe, wow, I admittedly didn't quite read the name the first time through the paragraph, and was very surprised when I actually noticed ("...that Stripe?"). I guess it makes sense; they're similar in scale and incumbance to the big-N stuffy local banks now. A good reminder that class-leading web design isn't necessarily a function of broad-spectrum competence across the board, just a very well-paid design team lol
Oooh. Humble thanks, I did indeed get the two confused. There was a recent post talking about how iPhones will be able to pretend they're payment terminals (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30259183), with Stripe in the position of major partner, and Square as the unimpressed incumbent that had just had their core competency made redundant. That kind of backs out my point somewhat then heh. *Moves Stripe back to "probably ok"*
(Now to work through this small pile of unrelated interesting things that also mysteriously opened themselves over the past few minutes. Welp. All good :D)

I take it you can't reopen an account? :/
(Uh, if you'd even want to...)
