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!

HelloYesThisIsDog
MemberI still have not a clue what happened between Cloud Meadow and the Monster Ranch games.
Bazzal
MemberDo you mean Breeding Season?
Kiyomi Sune
MemberA lot of personal drama and accusations of stolen assets and unfulfilled promises.
Seurot
MemberYep, one of the Breeding Season employees didn't like the lack of direction on the game, and left... With the majority of all art assets, and effectively killed the game.
FurryMcFuzzball
MemberYeah we've already been over this, the management was horrible and the "stole all the company assets" was slander
HelloYesThisIsDog
MemberHmm. Still not as bad as "Paid to make Homestuck game, did dick diddly for 8 months and took the money to make King's Quest instead."
Beepmaster
MemberHiveswap, or are we talking about something else?
HelloYesThisIsDog
MemberI call this disaster the "homestuck adventure game" problem because Hiveswap was rebuilt from it's ashes from the ground up with new art and 2D animation all done by Andrew. But yes, I am talking about Hiveswap.
ZackSnack
MemberSame,
