April 7th:It's that time again e621! The 2025 staff drive will be opening later this week! Please get your resumes and forklift licenses ready and keep an eye on the news/forums. Hope to see some fresh meat for the salt mines.
Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.
Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.
Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.
Further information on the bill itself can be found at the Free Speech Coalition: https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2112/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberI think it's to help deal with trolls or potential anti-furries from wreaking havoc on the website, either through deterring them or by having them draw something that could hint at their intentions.
I don't know if it's linked to an IP (i.e. you'd have to redo the test on other devices), which could be a pretty powerful ban tool, or just to the user's account. You should probably look for an official statement from staff for more details.
EDIT: I FORGOT IT'S APRIL FOOLS 😭😭😭
