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.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberI watched that movie a ton when I was a kid and I do not know how they allowed that thing to be marketed for kids, on reflection. Great movie. NOT a good thing to show to kids.

MemberHoly crap I loved the movie as a kid, but as a adult that freaking junkyard and it's song are unbelievably morbid. Every machine has a use even at the point of being considered outmoded or ruined, if it can be made into another functional machine or appliance it is not worthless. Only if it has suffered irreparable damage such as fire or flattening is it ok to scrap and recycle. Steam Locomotive however should only be scrapped if they are shells with no hope of firing again.
I'll fight people on this but Steam locomotives are the closest thing to sentient life humans have yet to build, they are alive. Want proof what machine is as commonly heard of in ghost stories as humans? Trains.
