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!

MemberThere's a lot of older stuff getting reposted lately. What's up with that?
Edit: I get this isn't a repost but it's still something I've noticed, and I'm just mentioning it here... Probably not the most appropriate of places to bring it up perhaps.

MemberNah, you're good. That is kinda funny though. Personally speaking, I'm just getting into editing, and I've started working on some pieces I've liked from a while back.

MemberI have noticed that as well. This week, lots of artists have been reposting higher quality versions of their older art. It's been a deluge.

MemberI don't think they're reposts. I've been going to some of the images I know are in my favorits that are showing up on the "front page" to fav the new version. Only to find its already been favorites by me.

MemberSo it's not just me, then. I've had to add "-fav:terxiata" to my search.

MemberYour favorites automatically update if the image is replaced by the child post, or something like that.
As for all the updated images, this thread explains it
