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!

MemberClosetOfDoom and PhoofyMan are the same person. I saw them post this to a discord server I'm in as a sort of 'hey I'm alive again' sort of thing. They were focusing on their music career or something. Not sure what the handle change is about, though. Maybe we should alias it?
Turboranger
MemberSorry to come to you with bad news but from artist to artist, this is his departure from nsfw in general. He achieved his goals and feels he did a good impression, he's gonna focus on his music career BUT he's willing to do commissions if someone is eager for it. If anything message me on discord as @turboranger0 and I'll gladly send you to him.

MemberWhy'd he delete his old discord though? I used to talk to him a bit and suddenly it's deleted user.
