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!

MemberOH man, I always loved Dingbat and wondered where the character/artist wound up. Seeing something like this is really bittersweet, but I guess they're still around and never say never.
As for me, I'm in my 30s and just now getting serious about all this furry stuff after just poking around the perimeter for the last couple decades....

MemberI hope they're still doing art somewhere, yeah. Unfortunately, their tumblr has been taken over by hackers/bots it seems.
Welcome on in! Same decade as me, but I've been active in the fandom to some degree since my mid-teens. (mostly looking at/commenting on art/comics, never had much money to spare for furry art unfortunately, but maybe someday!)
