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!

MemberMight still have place for such things, since nostalgia is a pretty hot thing to jump on. (As long as it's priced reasonable, man I missed such form of entertainment)

MemberIt's something I find rather lacking in a lot of things these days. The magic of thematics. Not just those kinds of places but, like, the time when we had mascots, and places/things were major themed to an almost cartoonesque degree.Chihuahuas who loved burritos, clowns who were way too into burgers, etc.
Now these days it just seems like places are places. Things are just things. Nothing more, nothing less. Dude, have you SEEN Mcdonald's lately? They're brown and grey, boxy on the outside, and depressing on the inside. I miss when we were way more chaotically creative even to a detriment.

MemberYou take places like Mcdonalds & Chucky Cheese, and you hit with that adulthood, no time for fun and games you got to be cold, clean, and simple. I'm mean where I live, we don't even have A roller skating rink.
