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!

MemberI wonder why the unicorns dont use magic to fly. They can lift about anything, but not them self. o.o

MemberIt takes more magic to lift large and heavy objects which takes more concentration and energy to maintain and use. So in order to lift them selves they would have to study and practice for long stints of time like Twilight who can't yet fly but can levitate her self a short distance off the ground for a short time. Remember she levitated Fluttershy's animal friends and you could see that she had to concentrate extremely hard to do so not to mention she was moving them all at the same time in a pattern so her magic is stronger than most unicorns.
