History of the site

Enchanted Island 2015 logo

The owner of Enchanted Island and WEIRD Radio, "Kermie", has deep BL board experience working in various capacities for several boards over the past eight years. He also previous owned a few sites that were not interactive.

Early in 2014, he realized that by removing egos and petty politics, and bringing a whole new level of professionalism to the recruitment of staff and the internal organization of a site, it would be possible to create a much better BL board than had ever been built before. Kermie states,

I knew 'Dragonlover' had mentioned a few months earlier he wanted to make a web site. I asked him to help me as Administrator. I also worked with 'CQ' and 'Johnny Lonewolf' because they each owned sites and understood the challenges and the software (vBulletin). They became EI's Tech Admins

Kermie's goal is to nurture and grow a BL site that is easy-going, safe and genuinely supportive. I have one rule for the staff... Think with your head but act with your heart."

Unlike other boards, especially in the past, EI is not a 'numbers game' trying to build impressive but meaningless member counts - inactive members are pruned monthly, and trouble-makers are removed rapidly. Enchanted Island is not about me. It is about a dream to bring BLers together where they can talk and enjoy a family atmosphere. "Our members are a family... we really care about each other. And we are blessed with a wonderful staff. They really give their hearts to Enchanted Island."

Kermie

Kermie who was the founder of Enchanted Island and WEIRD Radio and dear friend to BoyWiki and to many boylovers passed away in his sleep on Thursday October 6, 2016. The archive of Kermie's news broadcasts for WEIRD Radio and BoyWiki can be found here: Archive of news broadcasts from WEIRD radio
