April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberHe used to. I heard in the mid 00s he got into coding amd left art behind. He did do A. LOT. more than this archive has. Matter of fact he was a top name in Furnation since im giessing about 96-97? Shrugs. Had a relatively massive RPG universe IP totally fleshed and pimped out almost singlehandedly. How he did all the art for such an immersive world occasionally boggles my mind to this day. Ah what was it called.. but yeah he seemingly did a 180 on art.
Anyway, i hope hes still posting.

MemberI actually saw a very recent post from him somewhere. He actually is getting back started. I don't know the full story, but from what I glossed over on his FA page, he started posting occasionally again about a year ago, and is actually starting to take commissions again now. He's been a lot more active in the past few months. I'm surprised no one's posted his new stuff yet.
