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!

Former StaffBecause we invited her to be one?

Former StaffDuring times when I am actually not consumed by difficult schoolwork, such as summers and breaks, I do perform a fair amount of work here. However, considering that I am a junior in university for difficult subjects, much of my time is thus dedicated to things that do not involve approving furry porn. Unfortunately, this year has been rife with school and family issues, so I prioritize those things instead. I am certain that if you were in my boat, you would do the very same.

MemberSomeone can become an admin just because some other admin invited her/him?
I don't get it. Please explain.

MemberYou are for sure at least 18, right?
ippiki ookami
Former StaffI don't see what there is to explain. We ask someone if they want to be a admin. They say yes, we change their account to admin status. This is how most websites with moderators work.
How many juniors in college do you know who are under 18?

Member1. Just like that? (I thought admin means something)
2.There are no colleges in my country so I don't know. (There are things like college but are named different so that's why I was confused)

Former StaffShe's been an admin on here for more than 2 years. She was also an admin on another site for quite some time. Overall, she has experience.
We do not randomly pick people and be like "Hey, wanna be an admin"? We have guidelines on who we pick which are stated here

Former Staff...I'm 22, haha. I've been an admin here for over 3 years now.

MemberYou still live with family or they just have some problems right now?
I don't want to be rude, I'm just asking.
Ratte
Former StaffI live with my family when I'm not living on campus, yes. Makes no sense to move out yet if you're only ever home a few months of the year anyway, you know?

MemberIt's logical.

MemberAfter stumbling upon this, I have two things to say:
1: This picture is adorable.
2: After reading all the comments, speaking of age, my kammeraden J-Money is 18 and he just got promoted to Leutnant in the german military, and I am older than his big brother who is now at Major rank.
That's all ive got to say.
