Hello everyone
Piczel appears to be down for some reason, it appears to be something on our host’s end. We are looking into it now and will keep you updated, with frequent updates on our twitter.
Thank you all for your patience.
Hello everyone,
We’ve recently modified our Terms of Service agreement, specifically to update our section on Unacceptable Content.
You can read the new version of our ToS here.
In short, streams and gallery uploads of underage characters are no longer allowed on piczel.tv. We have made this change for a variety of reasons, but the most immediate is that as we grow, we must contract other companies for various services. Being as permissive as we were, it has been difficult to find others willing to deal with us. The options before us are to ban some content to allow piczel.tv to grow, or to effectively shut down. Clearly, there is no real option.
Piczel.tv was created in an attempt to be as content neutral as possible, but business realities have forced us to make this change. We hope you understand.
We encourage questions and comments to be sent to us at piczel.tv at gmail.com - we are happy to help clarify whether your content is still allowed or not on piczel.tv. Content removal will begin in the coming weeks, and anyone who has an upload to the gallery marked for deletion will receive an alert. We also encourage anyone concerned about this change to clarify in their image and stream descriptions that their characters are 18+.
Recently many users have gotten emails talking about how their blogs will be hidden in the near future to anyone who is not logged in, and that does not have adult content filtering disabled. For reference, a screenshot of this email is available here.
Piczel.tv is a streaming and art gallery site and we are committed to providing an easy to use site for both our registered members and any unregistered users who are linked to a member’s gallery or stream. To that end, all streams and galleries are available to all visitors, with adult content blurred by default, which can be removed with a single click. No account is needed to see any content anywhere on Piczel.tv.
Piczel.tv also provides a content feed similar to tumblr, which includes image posts, favorites, and stream notifications. It supports tag blacklisting, adult content blurring, inline automatic live stream notifications, and you may follow a user for their posts, their favorites (which function similarly to tumblr’s reblogs), or both.
Also of note, we have recently changed our free limits on gallery uploads - free users may now upload an unlimited number of images, with a maximum file size of 2MB, while premium users have a maximum file size of 200MB.
Our gallery and feed are still under continuous improvement, so if you have a feature you’d like to see, please let us know via a reblog, reply or email!
We would like to invite anyone who is frustrated with tumblr’s handling of their blog visibility to give us a look, we would be happy to have you on Piczel.tv!

Thank you all for your patience.
And we’re back!
Our host had some sort of hardware failure, but everything is back up and should stay up for the forseeable future.
Thank you again for your patience everyone, and thank you for streaming on piczel.tv
Thanks to all our streamers, viewers, and supporters through our first year of operation, we couldn’t have done it without you. We’ve got some exciting things in store for the next year and hope you’ll all enjoy!
*Technically it’s not exactly 1 year, but it is the 1 year anniversary of the first premium membership purchase, which is good enough for us :thumbsup:
