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.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

Memberbecause it's a pointless question to ask, artists generally don't operate on deadlines.
especially for art they are merely drawing for fun.

MemberI think it's the wat they said it. Instead of saying "when will it be finished", they should have said "will it eventually be finished". When you use certain words in certain ways, it can sound like you're forcing or rushing an artist. Who, as someone said before, usually don't have deadlines. and that combined with not knowing the tone of voice since it's the internet, I think it's unsurprising they was down voted. Even though they probably meant no harm.

MemberIt came off a little presumptive even if they didn't mean it like that.

Memberit should be taken into account tho that english may not be their first language, so you can't really blame them for that.
