e926

In july 2009, e926 was launched with the intention of being a safe for work counterpart to e621.
However back in november 2009, the website got aliased to the original site, due to in part of the popularity of e621.
Users seeking safe for work content, can use the “rating:safe” tag to block mature, and sexual themed content.
