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!

MemberBad and ridiculous gossip says that "he see god and tell him stop" Others says (this is a bit realistic) That he saw he cant upgrade and improve his gallery so he quit, but thats doesnt explain why he nuke all his stuff

MemberI was trying to remember this guy's name for a while. Couldn't find any of the work. When I finally remembered, I saw he had deleted everything. Sure, it isn't the best but it had some good memories and I still enjoy it today. Fun fact, the way back machine has a chunk of his stuff cached from VCL. Seems the 2004 era is gone for good though unless someone else seems to have it.
The guy hit some good fetishes. I think that's what drew me in to his work.
