'''e621''' is a mature image board replacement for [[Sidechan]], founded in February 2007. A general audience image board, '''e961''', once complimented this site. As of July 2010, the site hosted over 75 thousand active images ranging from non-sexual images to extreme fetishes and boasts more than 17 thousand users. In August 2010, the website ended its operations briefly due to [[David Ross]], aka Insane Kangaroo, with alleged connections to [[Dragoneer]],{{fact}} lodging accusations of child pornography and copyright infringement with the principle hosting company. The site returned to normal operation under a new owner on September 8, 2010. E621 is currently running on the Ouroborus branch of Danbooru and ruby on rails.

== Policies and content ==

e621 makes use of a [[DNP]] list, and takedown requests are honored when following the guidelines of the Takedown page (http://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 paysites 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.

"Score" number for uploads is based on user votes, a feature that used to be for all registered users, but is a feature no longer available for those with only a Member level account.<ref>[http://e621.net/help/users Help: Accounts] webpage. Retrieved 2011 January 1.</ref>

== Site status ==

The site was closed down on September 17th, 2007, citing on its front-page that claims had been made against the site for hosting [[Wikipedia:child pornography|child pornography]]{{fact}} and only the [[Oekaki]] board and the [[IRC]] channel remained active.

e621 became active again on November 26th, 2007, 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]].

On 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>''[http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd366/HDSham/Screenshot2010-08-30at105324PM.png Takedown Request.]'' - [[Arcturus]], e621.net</ref> This time, only the IRC channel remained active.<ref>''[http://www.e621.net e621 is over. sorry.]'' - [[Arcturus]], e621.net</ref>

On 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}}

As of September 1, 2010 a site 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 pretext. That, or the old one was obsolved by Adobe, while the new one is using the WWW pretext.

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.)

On 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>[http://www.e621.net/forum/show/8456]</ref>

== Mascot controversy ==

[[Image:Small_Esix_Keishinkae.png|175px|thumb|Esix, the final decision for lead mascot. Esix was in the top spot in the site redesign planned for 2010.|left]]
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 afterwards 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. 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>''[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1261051/ Mascot Contest Over, Winners Announced!]'' - [[Arcturus]], Furaffinity</ref>

== e961 ==

In July 2009, a work-safe counterpart, e961, was brought online. Unfortunately, in November 2009 it was aliased to the original site due to traffic issues caused by the popularity of e621.<ref>''[http://e621.net/forum/show/565 At work? Nosy family? No problems!]'' - [[Arcturus]], e621 forum</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.
