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!

Janitor@Fuzzamorous, would it be too much to ask that you would upload your posts to FA twice? Because I'm seeing the source file being PNG which means FA crushed this and uploading twice bypasses it.
Also I'm once again thinking by myself why does site like FA which is dedicated for artwork handle artwork like this and still be popular.

MemberIf you'd like, i can link you a zipfile of the current full res for all of my current sketchcomms. As for regularly double-uploading, I'd prefer not to, tldr being its a noticeable chunk of additional time for no additional income (I send full hi res to the commissioners though, i just dont want to fix fA's compression every time.)

JanitorI guess that makes sense, I insanely rarely see anyone complaining about furaffinitys image handling on furaffinity comments unless it's large comic and that makes text unreadable.
I'm already pretty happy that you managed to switch into MP4 format thanks to fek. I care about this kind of stuff for some reason. So if it's not too much trouble and I can also have permission to post them here, I'd be really happy if you can provide the link to zip.

MemberWe don't complain because we know FA doesn't give a shit. It never has and never will. Any complaints just fall on deaf ears and we waste our time/breath.
FA is a terrible website in every way imaginable, but like Youtube we are forced to continue using it anyway because that's where the audience is. Inertia is literally the only thing keeping the place populated right now.
