Okay,

Iv created a website (www.tumblah.com) that allows users to create subdomains to be used as their main tumblr domain, im currently using the old v1 api so users are forced to login, this is so i can actually track users and make sure they are only creating one domain.

Now my problem is with the new v2 api since i have to use oauth i can't simply track their login details to compare to stored data to make sure they haven't already made a domain. This would be possible if i could simply call a static id from a users account... but i can't AND blog posts id's doesn't work, iv tried, so don't even suggest it.

Im simply requesting a way to call a static var from each user who uses my app so i can keep track of my members.

I am willing to do whatever it takes to be able to do this as my site is rapidly growing (20k views a day and 14k subdomains made) and i need to expand.

Why don't you set up your own login credentials for your site?

After a user sets creates an account (login/pass) with you, you send them through the OAuth flow & collect their Access Key for the API.  You can store this key for later user along with their Account credentials.
