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!

MemberYeah lol what even is Porygon too? xD Pikachu is a mouse, vileplume is a stinky flower, but what is the basis of Rotom? It doesn't look like anything 🤔

MemberFor Rotom: It’s an electrical current. It’s whole thing is possessing appliances. Fan, Lawn Mower, Washing Machine, etc.
Porygon is comprised of programming code. It’s artificial at least according to the Pokédex. Don’t ask me why it exists in Legends of Arceus.
