Pioneering boylove websites
 | Note this page is still under construction. |
The World Wide Web went online in 1991[1] and by 1993 was gaining momentum. Prior to this, pay-based online services, like, America Online, Prodigy, CompuServe, and GEnie dominated the market. These services offered a chat feature sometimes called, "chat rooms".[2] At that point in history, boylover's were not as alienated from the gay community, as is the case today. Boylovers often frequented gay chat rooms eventually met and developing friendships with other like-minded individuals. By 1984, many of the users of the pay based internet services had began to migrate to the World Wide Web as it was much less expensive. Many boylovers at that time who had been use to communicating in chat rooms discovered Internet Relay Chat and the Usenet which featured "newsgroups". The Usenet resembles a bulletin board system (BBS) in many respects, and is the precursor to Internet forums such as BoyChat and other boards that are widely used today.
