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!

JanitorIt seems like that Wix caps video uploads to 30 FPS and these aren't uploaded to newgrounds, so half of the frames are just straight up gone for now unless animator uploads these somewhere else.
Kinda weird that they make up website to host everything they do and then the website host means they cannot do that properly.

MemberIs it strange to have nostalgia for this?
Because this brings back memories.

MemberDon’t worry man, i felt exactly the same way. Jeez, I do remember my younger self looking at this masterpiece for the very first time long time ago. Just the audio of the video took me to another time. :3
