I've heard it mentioned lately (I haven't been around all that long, so I'm simply going off what I was told) there is something of an increase of [closed] posts as opposed to [open] posts, and many of the events mentioned as of late are posted on tumblr which not everybody uses or sees due to the fact they're not following the right tags/people/etc.

I'm curious because I'm contemplating on whether or not I need to make one in order to have full access to these sorts of things first hand. Would it be beneficial to do so?

Nope! There's a few FCs who use tumblr only, but most tend to post onto the RPC. Honestly with Tumblr's spammy nature, I prefer the RPC by a mile for creating events. I do see people making posts on both mediums though. I cannot say there's more to be found on Tumblr in terms of events, but for the odd one passing by. The RPC still rules out, simply due to the better outlay for it.

Unfortunately, I don't know if this is the right thread, or if you'll find the answers you're looking for here. Plenty of people use the forums. Plenty of people use tumblr. Some have a preference while others don't. I couldn't tell you the specifics on how big those pools are. I can tell you that tumblr does have a lot of interactive characteristics that makes it beneficial towards roleplay as a whole. Events are still broadcasted here as others are broadcasted on tumblr. This thread is for people who do use -- or want to use -- tumblr to further their enjoyment in ffxiv. So I think any posts here might be bias in tumblr's favor.

Edit:
Did not notice the new page, derpaderp, though, what I said still stands. xD

I've got my tumblr setup for Nef finally. It's both IC and OOC but all FFXIV roleplay based. It's a sub-blog of my main account so you won't see Nef following any blogs sadly. Doesn't mean i'm not following you!
As to the whole forum/tumblr discussion, I think each has their place. I like the forums for the static nature of it. If I want to see what events are coming up it's right there. Lore information? Awesome!

But tumblr is awesome for not only journals but also just socialization. It's a far better place to share screencaps and funny bits from RP. Amazing for posting stories IMHO. 

So I use both! I've even made my own google calendar to keep track of RP events. I need reminders!

OOC - J'inarah Marad and brand spankin' new!

After a long time resisting, I caved.

It's OOC, multi-race/multi-character, and... stuff.

So, not too long ago, I made a new account specifically for FFXIV.

http://hana-taza.tumblr.com/

It's an OOC blog, multiple characters (at least one from each race), and I'm trying to get more original stuff on there. I've just gotta go through my screenshots and get some more.

Ah wonderful!  Please add me to the list for in character blogs under elezen. Lamia's tumblr is http://lamiavuinuet.tumblr.com

Now to start following a bunch of people haha.

I don't update this as much as I probably should
OOC, with occasional IC forays.

I abstained for a year but here we are.

Elezen/Balmung; mostly inspo and some writing. #aesthetique

Note: I am really, really bad at tagging anything that's not NSFW or blatantly violent/gory.

My OOC/FFXIV/general gaming/art tumblr is korlynn.tumblr.com . I have an IC one for Arry, but I find I can't keep up with multiple tumblrs even if they're tied to my main one. I forget them.

http://aekira-swyfte.tumblr.com 

multi-character(ish, only really features Aekira and Hiro), mix of both IC and OOC (More of the latter than anything)

At the moment it's mostly character asks and dumb game-related stuff with a smattering of art and inspiration pics, but I hope to see it grow some more as time goes on! Also, all my doodle above you pictures are up there as well.

https://www.tumblr.com/blog/monkcatkyrio ish the Kyrio Tumblr. Mostly IC but will post OOC occasionally.

I have a mix of IC and OOC stuff, but mostly OOC stuff and I do my best to keep it relevant to ffxiv related. There might be times where I post an occasional Overwatch or anime thing, but that's about it.

I also did a thing. Help.

IC and OOC but character focused.
