'''e621''', also known as '''e6''', is a [[adult|mature]] [[image board]] replacement for the image board [[Sidechan]]. A [[W:general audience|general audience]] image board, '''e926''' (formerly e961) complements this site. e621 runs off of the Ouroboros platform, a [[W:Imageboard#Danbooru-style_boards|danbooru]]-style software specifically designed for the site. It is likely that the site is named for the compound [[W:Monosodium glutamate|monosodium glutamate]], whose [[W:E number|E Number]] is E621.

== History ==

* September 17, 2007 - The site was closed down, citing on its front-page that claims had been made against the site for hosting [[Wikipedia:child pornography|child pornography]] and only the [[Oekaki]] board and the [[IRC]] channel remained active.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070917160028/http://e621.net/ e621 offline notice] - Archived by Wayback Machine, Sep 17, 2007.</ref>
* November 26, 2007 - e621 became active again, under the banner e621 2.0. It was forced offline for a few days over Christmas 2007 during the same [[Wikipedia:Distributed Denial of Service|DDoS]] attack that struck [[Fur Affinity]] and [[Fchan]].
* August 2010 - The website ended its operations briefly due to [[David Ross]] ('''Insane Kangaroo'''), lodging accusations of child pornography and copyright infringement with the principle hosting company.<ref name="Takedown Request">{{cite web|author=[[Arcturus]]|url=https://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd366/HDSham/Screenshot2010-08-30at105324PM.png|title=Takedown Request Screenshot|website=e621|date=August 30, 2010|accessdate=August 31, 2010}}</ref> The site was formally shut down when he threatened [[Arcturus]] with deportation. The site returned to normal operation under a new owner on September 8, 2010.
* August 30, 2010 - The website's main page was replaced with a small note saying that e621 would be permanently shut down due to "numerous threats to our host, false claims of illegal content, harassment and a few things that are much worse."<ref name="Takedown Request"/> This time, only the IRC channel remained active.<ref>{{cite web|author=[[Arcturus]]|url=https://www.e621.net/|title=e621 is over. sorry.|website=e621|date=August 31, 2010|accessdate=August 31, 2010}}</ref>
* August 31, 2010 - It was announced that the site will simply be resuming with a new admin, Varka, after a short downtime.{{fact}} Announced changes to the site include an updated takedown policy to amend some of the issues leading to the threats issued in previous days.{{fact}}
* September 1, 2010 - A website by the same name has appeared in the guise of Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5, as confusing as this is, both are different only due to the WWW prefix. That, or the old one was absolved by Adobe, while the new one is using the WWW prefix. Anonymous of Jacksonville says e621 simply has a messed up DNS record for the base domain, but the WWW subdomain is still correctly configured. Either the record's TTL hasn't yet expired (in the case of hacking or hostile takeover, this is a good thing) or someone somewhere has made a silly mistake. (When the site is typed in with, and without WWW it goes to Varka's page, the site itself depending how you reach it will send you to either by a 50/50 chance, it's easier to just put in WWW with it.) (needs update).
* September 8, 2010 - The website was passed from Arcturus to Varka. Varka has implemented a newer, more artist-friendly takedown policy. There will also be more artist involvement that includes obtaining prints from Inkbunny and going to the artist's chosen website for commissions.<ref name="forum8456">{{cite web|author=[[Varka]]|url=https://e621.net/forum/show/8456|title=ANNOUNCEMENT: e621 changeover, new policy, next steps|website=e621|date=September 10, 2010|accessdate=September 23, 2010}}</ref>
* January 18, 2012 - e621 joined many other sites in protesting the [[W:PROTECT IP Act|PROTECT IP Act]] (PIPA) and [[W:SOPA|Stop Online Piracy Act]] (SOPA), by taking down its page and replacing it with the page that stated for others to write to their congressmen, being entirely generated by user content, e621 was a high risk target under the SOPA legislation, and took the site down with others for the protest.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120118152135/http://e621.net/ "What?

* February 12, 2020 - Lead admin NotMeNotYou announces that the new version of e621 is nearing completion. The new version would include a new "Lore" tag category (which includes "canonical" gender identities) and the ability to search up to 40 tags at once.<ref name="new e6 near-complete">{{cite web|author=[[NotMeNotYou]]|url=https://e621.net/forum/show/283533|title=<nowiki>[Beta]</nowiki> The new e621 is nearing completion|website=e621|date=February 12, 2020|accessdate=February 13, 2020}}</ref>

== Policies and content ==

e621 makes use of a [[DNP]] list, and takedown requests are honored when following the guidelines of the Takedown page (https://e621.net/static/takedown). Images that are removed are also blacklisted to prevent posting.

Registration requests for inclusion on the site by artists and users might or might not be moderated by e621's staff, depending on the amount of spammers or trolls they are being hit with.

Uploading of photographic child pornography or bestiality media is not permitted, and uploading of images from pay-sites is discouraged, with the exception of a few images (usually for publicity purposes).

Additionally, any post could be deleted without notice if they fail to meet a standard of quality as determined by the moderators (poorly drawn or badly compressed art), though this is uncommon.

Regarding post tagging, the site uses a "tag-what-you-see" (TWYS) tagging system where posts are tagged based on what is visible in the images and animations. (https://e621.net/wiki/show/twys) Although this system is seen as highly effective for searching and blacklisting, it has caused several conflicts between the site's administration and a number of its user base and various posts' artists, primarily regarding the tagging of genders. The site features a page on its wiki specifying how they tag genders. (https://e621.net/wiki/show/howto:tag_genders) Despite said page featuring a disclaimer stating that the site's gender tagging system is only for the purposes of searches and blacklists, "''Not and '''Never''''' for describing the character" (i.e. not as a personal labeling system), this policy has nevertheless led to a number of artists requesting DNP status{{cn}} solely out of a refusal to accept the site's tagging policies. Eventually, it was announced on February 12, 2020 that the new version of the site would include the introduction of a new "lore" tags category to complement the TWYS system, including canonical (i.e. by what the artist or copyright owner says) gender identity tags.<ref name="new e6 near-complete"/> However, "Lore" tags will be a locked tag category; only administrators would be able to add tags to the "lore" category after they sanction them first.<ref name="new e6 near-complete"/> Nevertheless, the site's TWYS, gender tagging, and "minimum quality standards" policies have led to continued criticism among several artists and members of the site (former and current).{{cn}}

On June 22, 2019, after having received several complaints about the vulgar terms "dickgirl" and "cuntboy" as gender tags over time, head admin NotMeNotYou announced that the tags would be aliased to less vulgar terms "gynomorph" and "andromorph". Other tags that incorporate the two vulgar terms would also be aliased to use the less vulgar terms.<ref name="forum274480">{{cite web|author=[[NotMeNotYou]]|url=https://e621.net/forum/show/274480|title={{!(}}Announcement{{!)}} Making our gender tags less vulgar|website=e621|date=June 22, 2019|accessdate=June 22, 2019}}</ref>

On July 12, 2024, explicit art involving young humans and human-like characters have been banned sitewide and can no longer be posted to e621. The policy change was announced the same day by head admin NotMeNotYou, and over 45,000 posts were taken down as a result.<ref name="Flayrah explicit young human ban">{{cite web|author=GreenReaper (Parry, Lawrence)|url=https://www.flayrah.com/9198/e621-bans-explicit-young-human-and-human-content|title=e621 bans "explicit young human and human-like content"|website=Flayrah|date=July 13, 2024}}</ref>

== Mascot ==
[[File:Small_Esix_Keishinkae.png|175px|thumb|Esix, one of the site's mascots. Esix was in the top spot in the site redesign planned for 2010.]]
e621 has two [[mascot]]s, both of them being [[feline]] [[character]]s; '''[https://e621.net/wiki/show/hexerade Hexerade]''' and '''[https://e621.net/wiki/show/esix Esix]'''.

=== Controversy ===

Early in 2010, the owners of e621 were looking for a mascot to adorn the site. After asking the site's users to come up with their own ideas, a poll was opened to decide on which character should be selected. However, a few weeks afterward the poll was closed prematurely as it came to light that one of the contestants had been rigging the contest by signing up many alts through proxies to vote his mascot up.{{cn}}

In response to this, the administrators announced that they would select a mascot among themselves. After deliberation, they selected a five character mascot team from the leaders of the poll, featuring characters by [[Mellis]], [[Chizi]], [[Keishinkae]], [[Darkdoomer]] and [[Manafox]].<ref name="Mascot">{{cite web|author=[[Arcturus]]|url=https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1261051/|title=Mascot Contest Over, Winners Announced!|website=FurAffinity|date=2010|accessdate=8 Jul 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref>

== e961/e926 ==

In July 2009, a work-safe counterpart, e961.net, was brought online. The site was named after the E number of the then-new artificial sweetener, [[W:neotame|Neotame]]. Unfortunately, in November 2009 it was aliased to the original site due to traffic issues caused by the popularity of e621.<ref name="e961 forum565">{{cite web|author=[[Arcturus]]|url=https://e621.net/forum/show/565|title=At work? Nosy family? No problems!|website=e621|date=July 14, 2009|accessdate=November 8, 2009}}</ref> However, users who want to view only safe for work content can use the "rating:safe" tag to exclude all mature content from e621, except banner adverts which will still include adult content. Images can also be filtered by placing ratings (i.e., rating:explicit) on the tag blacklist.

In November 2012, e961 was rebuilt as ''e926'', a joke for it being a "bleached" version of the site, was reinstated along with updates to the main site. It displays content from e621 that strictly has a "Safe" rating. The site's login system shares e621's login database and servers, but requires a separate login, as it has its own cookies. Notably, it also has its own "safe for work" advertising. However, like the main e621 domain, users under 18 years of age are not allowed to visit e926, due to the aforementioned shared database and servers.

'''Averi.foo''' is an exclusively SFW (Safe For work) anthro/furry image board, created for general discussion, fun and posting/drawing anthros, heavily focused on anti-sexual purity. It was created in relation to [[Anthro.foo]], serving as their direct competitor after a squabble between two friends, who were subsequently both site admins, lead to a splinter group of the same name, which is still active today. Their mascot is the character Averi, created by fiddleafox, who does not endorse the website and is currently MIA from the internet.

== History ==
A group of users and administrators from Anthro.foo got into a fight regarding the site's management and direction. One of the most prominent and outspoken staff members, Lachlan, was protesting HMOFA, a [[4chan]] /trash/ community with a focus on fictional human male on female anthro romance. He had his admin privileges taken away, with hostility cited as the reason. Following this, on the 16th of March 2025<ref>https://averi.foo/anthro/thread/1.html The very first thread on Averi.foo, which contains the date it was posted on.</ref>, Lachlan and his followers formed an off-shoot group and created a splinter site, which they still use regularly to this day. While smaller and less welcoming due to it's high focus on purity and lack of mainstream advertisement, the site has managed to amass 20~ users and 15k posts. The site spreads entirely through word of mouth, leading to a small and tightly knit community of people who are, for the most part, friends, and despite that, most of them are anonymous.

One of the main concerns forming the site's existence was advertising. The administrators of Anthro.foo formed a clique prior to Averi.foo's creation, and most of them were in an agreement to be harsh on sexualized content. The now owner of Averi.foo, Lachlan, noticed that Anthro.foo started advertising to /trash/ on 4chan, which lead to users posting risque content and sometimes even pornography, some of which got past moderation and was protected by the owner, Lysytsya, aka "Floof". Many such incidents like this were building up, it is believed that the HMOFA protest ban was an easy excuse to ban Lachlan for constantly bringing up concerns with Floof's actions running the website. Following Lachlan's removal from Anthro.foo, the site was heavily promoted to users of /HMOFA/ and quickly became a mostly HMOFA-centric website, which Lachlan did not intend for.

Averi.foo's userbase is primarily made up of users who are disgruntled at the administration of Anthro.foo, but despite that, many of them try their best to not discuss drama as much as they used to during the site's inception and instead focus on more creative endeavours such as videogame creation and art.<ref>https://averi.foo/anthro/thread/6632.html Averi.foo's Artwork Thread.</ref>

==Structure==
The site currently contains two boards.

[https://averi.foo/anthro/index.html /anthro/ - Anthros and Averi]
[https://averi.foo/q/index.html /q/ - Meta]

Additionally, the site is running off of a code fork of [https://gitgud.io/fatchan/jschan/ jschan], an imageboard hosting software written in NodeJS.

==Do Not Post Policy==
One of the key concerns of Averi.foo is purity. All forms of pornography, softcore and hardcore are banned, sexualized imagery (typically drawings of female characters in compromising positions, revealing clothing or enlarged body parts) and discussion is banned, any attempts to loophole the system are banned. More information can be found directly on the site's [https://averi.foo/rules.html rules] page.

==External Sites==
Averi.foo does not have an official YouTube or Twitter, the owner doesn't promote the website on mainstream social media due to personal grudges against the general public. Averi.foo does infact have it's own MediaWiki instance, though following a call to end the drama, the wiki is now somewhat defunct and the users have given up on updating or contributing to it. It is currently still accessible at https://wiki.averi.foo
