Its a fun little April Fool's joke, and a good potshot at digital verification.

Very fun indeed, and it being a verification method is actually kinda cool ngl

I had to pause my goon sesh...

I'll never forgive this

Had to do it for multiple devices and I think the first one botched when I saved the export on the first device... In short, I feel quite iffy on it.

I think it is very good satire on the current political shit goin on in red states rn, and it made me laugh outloud. definitely lightened the mood for me and I had a lot of fun drawing
However- the download button didn't work! I am very thankful I screenshot mine before I hit submit incase there wasn't one.

I feel it's my duty to specify that my first browser I did the auth sketch on was LibreWolf and the second time was on Pale Moon on an older device.

I personally prefer the Uwu text change from last year

That one was so much better. I kind of made certain text hard to read but it was good.

that one apparently caused problems for people with dyslexia, but at least an option to disable that was added pretty quickly after there were complaints.

Not a April Fools joke.

its fully LEGAL. So

yes it is.

I never really thought of making a fursona. I just thought that people just "get it", do it, and then talk through it. Simple as that.

you don't choose your fursona, your fursona chooses you.

I dont have a fursona so I made something up

Already 24 pages with 40 posts each, and its not even the 1st yet... Its gonna be really annoying

I like that some people are flagging the posts for "not meeting uploading guidelines" 💀

I hate it, it's unnecessary

I was a tad bit scared at first, but then when I realized it was funny XD

Genuinly absurd that people are mad at it

It was such a fun little surprise. Absolutely loved it.
Also, boy do I need to learn how to draw!

Oh good, A joke...I tried drawing but nothing at all happened, thought something had broken on my end and I was gonna lose e621 because of it.

I agree, being mad about it is weird as it's an April fools thing, I hope they close it soon though as others have said, this shit is getting old quick, going to hot an popular and it's just mid tier drawings... Something cool though would to have a like a special sub-site or something specifically for the stuff like this to just kidnap scroll through, an archive sperate from e621 itself but idk, definitely getting old

Ngl, I actually thought it was real for a second, then I remembered what day it is tomorrow. Now I'm just wondering if all these posts are gonna stay up afterwards or if most will be removed for being low quality or human only.

I hope they stay, just as an homage to April fools 2025 but that the tag is closed very fast, I saw somewhere that Rainbow Dash had said it already fucked itself and isn't working anymore anyways

I cannot seem to find mine lmao I put minimal effort in, if I knew people would be seeing it I would've at least grabbed a mouse to do my art with

Dumb question, but is there anywhere where these drawings are going to? I completely forgot to save mine...

They're not sent to the server or saved anywhere unless you do so manually.

Unfortunately no :c

On,y way to save it is to download it

Is this an April fools thing? I was wondering what the hell it was. Scary joke.

the question i have is are the flood of posts that include ss' gonna get taken down or are they gonna grandfather them in

except post #5470656 - this is just funny

Once I realized it was an April fool's joke I thought it was fun.
I don't really have a fursona so I just drew a primarina. I might upload it later

momentary panic until I read to the end of the first screen where it said I would need to draw my fursona for verification, then remembered what day it had just become on the other side of the world and had a good laugh. All in all a lot of fun. I think I spent about an hour on mine, and now I've finally got the fursona that's been rattling around in my head for a couple years out into the world.

it was cute and silly and i enjoyed being forced to draw my fursona despite my meager mouse drawing skills

it just wasted my time

I spent a good while trying to draw a fursona I've only had ideas on. I've not drawn anything in years and never really learned how to draw things 'right'. Plus I don't have fancy gadgets for digital drawing so I only had a mouse. I just gave up frustrated and upset.

Plus with the immense spam of nonsense it's caused, I'd have rathered the uwu speak.

After the other implementations without warning like the young human ban, I took it as another unexpected rushed change that would heavily impact how I use the site. I didnt enjoy it because there was no cancel, and I was forced to click through the options, not knowing if I had screwed my account because I didnt comply... 😢

I just drew a crude penis.

I am glad its just April Fools, but with the current climate and all that, I was actually worried that e621 had decided to implement a really dumb verification method lmao

I made a "?" and became concerned some two factor stuff was beginning

I questioned about the verification because it's "thrid-party", let alone that I didn't have a persona, so I thought it would take a long time to verify my account...

Then I went to the forum and later realized it was April Fool's joke

I did the exact same thing 😂

I forgot what date I woke up in and was terrified for the entirety of 30 seconds.

I took 1 entire hour thinking it was a serious process... now I regret it plainly... I blacklisted the tag because of that... never forgiving them for this. (I really forgot it was april fool... they shouldn't do such jokes knowing they are oblivious peoples like me who forget so easily those things...)

UwU Happy April Fools Day E621

Hilarious popup, truly. I was a bit confused at first, but I thought "furID" was silly, since obviously, those aren't actually real (yet..). I did struggle a bit with drawing on a trackpad with my finger, but it was all in good fun. I even saved the pic I drew as a little memory for myself. Makes me wonder if I should draw with my finger on a trackpad a bit more, as it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. lol

I've been forced to pick my XP Pen and draw something >.<

one of the most funny april fools that i ever seen

I'm hoping they don't remove them when this is all over for not meeting quality standards, FurID is funny as hell

Is double dipping bad etiquette? I would have tried harder on mine if I knew in advance we were all uploading them lol.

Although it was mainly meant for e621, it caused chaos on the AI mirror site, as thousands suddenly cried out in unison, forced to pick up a pen.

oh noooooo

My heart fell out of my ass during the split second when I thought it was the age verification thing. Then I actually read the text, recovered from the near death experience, and scribbled a cute spinosaurus guy.

That’s what I like most about it. Pick it up 🖊️😈

I forgot it was April 1st, so I stared at it a few seconds and then just, uh, drew my sona.
Very badly, it was AWFUL.
I also didn't think to save it so now that awful art's just gone. Oh well.

I feel the joke was in horrible taste.
I was worried that the site got hacked & someone was trying to gather account data.

I just doodled Trogdor, The Burninator.

I feel that so strongly. It definitely was not pleasant for me, either.

I thought it was funny, but it made me confront that fact that I'm the worst at drawing which made me sad.

I made mine with a thumb on my phone while high as a kite. After the initial shock I laughed my ass off and posted my abomination on this site. :3
edit: On the positive side I might pick up the pen again when I get sober in few hours. This time I'm not high as a kite, I'm drunk. :3

Was a lil funny til i realised that about 60% of each page was this shit, then got very annoying very quickly

The popup appeared yesterday while I was in the middle of doing some tag editing, which was a bit inconvenient. It was many hours before midnight in my local time, so it was a surprise that an April Fool's joke would happen so early.

I tried drawing one on my phone yesterday, but for some reason the drawing marks were misaligned from where I was pressing. (I was using Firefox on Android, if anyone else had the same issue?) So today on my PC, I did a (slightly) better mouse-drawn one.

I've enjoyed browsing through some of the posts on the furID_(e621) tag. I noticed that this one has an interesting choice of parent image: post #5469925

Meanwhile, FurAffinity's April Fool's joke just changed the font to Comic Sans and added a crudely-drawn banner. I think e621's idea was definitely more elaborate and entertaining!

Honestly the UwU text change from last year was so much better and I'm hoping they do that again because I got a good laugh out of it.

Was initially taken aback by the pop-up. Realized the date and clicked through. "No thanks", I thought to myself. Blacklisted the furID tag.

Although the site's a bit of a mess for now, it's still charming how so many people suddenly aren't shy about showing off their art skills, for better or worse, although I guess that's the whole point, whether it was intended or not. Wonder how many people this'll inspire to become better artists

Kind of a shame that all this amateurish art will probably be deleted. Even if most of it doesn't mean quality standards, it's still a fun showing for community spirit and passion...

I just wanted to add that im a big fan of e6s April fools pranks. The effort is quite considerable and always brighten ups my goon sesh. Keep up the good work admins and web designs yall the best :3

It's a fun gag. It had me believing in advanced magical algorithms for a moment, then my Phillip J. Fry suspicion kicked in.
It's neat to see a everyone having fun with it as a community. Seeing people's creations is very entertaining.
Now wouldn't it be something if all the art was automatically put in a gallery for viewing splendor, rather than people manually uploading.

same here, had to decide whether or not to actually try, I decided that I will make better of my time by gooning :P

I drew an upraised middle finger for verification.

There is a reason I did not upload my picture, and it's not just because it's an upraised middle finger. It's because I can't draw worth a damn.

It might be a nuisance for some, but the torrent of goofy/clever/pretty little bits by all the brave ppl filled my heart with determination!

dba_afish said:
yes it is.

Nope, nope it's a fully legal ID verification to prove that we, the submitter, have a fursona and are old enough to look at what we like on the internet. Makes perfect sense to me. Mine's a blue pig. Says "Oink Motherfucker", only I couldn't fit the last bit so I just put MF.

I found the "furid" bit very funny. Although after about twenty minutes of looking at posts I realised the mountain of work it created. I hadn't really tagged much until then but I was furiously updating tags to the correcr category and trying to add tags to as many of the posts as possible. I think this well end up being an enjoyable archive, as well as generally increasing tagging knowledge and maybe encouraging people to do some art themselves now that they've already put something on the site

Aw man, I didn’t know we were posting our drawings! I may have just drawn Mario Goatse……

You don't actually need to do anything. You can just mark it once and "submit" it and it goes away. And it would only pop up again if your cookies are cleared.

Same dude, I was on my phone and fucked out of my mind off of a low dosage of salvia
