Boyland on line is an online message board for boylovers. Originally rolled out in 2007, Boylandonline.com (also known as BLOL) is a safe haven for boylovers from all over the world.
BLOL provides an SSL-encrypted resource for registered members to share their thoughts and feelings on their love for boys, albeit they have strict rules to ensure that the board remains a forum for Boylovers who seek support, discussion, fellowship, and happiness in life, away from society's wrongful persecution.
Their staff, all of them bringing in years of experience of dealing with board issues, speak English, French, Dutch, Spanish and German and there are rooms for each of these languages on the board.
Of course they provide image galleries, a chat box, a private message system and many discussion forums.
In order to keep boylover communities and their members safe, whether they are members of BLOL or not, the administrators of BLOL are in close contact with various other board owners. This collaboration between boards has already been successful in getting rid of and reducing threats.
Boylandonline is in active partnership with BoyPlanet.net and Jungs.wtf.
History
BLOL was founded by Mark Baker in 2007, who sadly passed away too early. Since 2011, boylandonline has been run by three administrators from different parts of the world who keep the spirit of the founder alive and at the same time implement new features.
Starting on December 7, 2017, and extending onwards for several weeks, Boyland administrators started putting together a new board for BLOL in order to keep up to date with Internet standards and security measures. Prior to this was four weeks of careful planning and discussions amongst the administration and management team of BLOL in order to determine which direction to go and what board software would be best suited to the needs of BLOL.
On December 22, 2017, Boylandonline administrators released a major site update which included a large scale visual redesign of the main forums. Old members were required to re-register at the new board, and four weeks later the old board was turned into a read-only archive. Registrations on the old board were disabled, thereby ensuring a truer read-only nature.
BLOL currently has 50 to 70 visitors each day of which +50% participate regularly. That does not sound impressing, however, longtime members enjoy the familiar atmosphere and new members are amicably welcome.
Security and privacy
BLOL has been strict with their concern regarding member privacy, dedicating to a privacy policy which states that they collect absolutely no information about their users, except for what they provide in registration. While the registration form asks for a birthdate, it is noted that this birthdate is not kept and is used to verify that users are older than 16 years of age as per their membership requirements. [1]
A note at the end of the Social Experience section of the BLOL rules states that IP addresses are not logged to any database or logfile. Social Rule 4 prohibits the posting of any information which could be used to identify a member (including pictures), and and Social Rule 6 forbids any member asking for personal information or images of any member under the age of 18. [2]
A status checker for boylove resources hosted by BLOL lists various security-related features regarding site safety. In this, it is stated that BLOL forces any externally loaded pictures through an image proxy, safely handles external links, has a minimum age of 16, and does not block any Tor or VPN users from using their site. Additionally, BLOL runs with an active SSL certificate and encryption.[3]
