Topic: How did e621 get its name?

Posted under General

Looks like 6/21 is coming to a close

but, With all the peeps
celebrating the day, it got me thinking.

Where did the name "e621" come from if you don't
mind me asking ╹‿╹)

E621 gets its name from Monosodium glutamate, which is a sodium salt. The salt part being how fucking salty this user base is.

Really though, I'm not sure.
Spoiler alert I shouldn't be on e621 because I am allergic to MSG.

MSG tastes savory, not salty. Much like all the savory R34 contained within.

There may be a bitter or shitty aftertaste, however.

And I could see the site being named for that gem of a joke ◠‿╹)
though I wouldn't say peeps are that salty.
Welp, Not that salty by internet standard.T‿T)

Though on the off chance that don't turn out to be the case
(As much of a shame that would be haha =‿=)
Any other suggestions to the site names meaning/origin?

Ah, Thanks m8 ╹‿╹)

Though that makes me wonder what E926 is
and how's it different from E621.

There wouldn't happen to a thread for that too
would there?

e926 is e621 with a forced safe-only filter.
