'''Modern Boylover Magazine''' is an online Boylove Magazine which features various articles of interest to the Boylove community. The magazine is 100% volunteer driven, and is a free resource for boylovers and non-boylovers alike. It is currently written and published by members of various BL Forums, including [[BoyMoment.com]], [[YoungCity|YoungCity.net]], and [[Boylover.org]]. The magazine itself is run independently at modernblmag.org, where past issues can be viewed and downloaded.<br />

==HISTORY==<br />
<br />
Modern Boylover Magazine began on [[Boylover.net]] (2002-2009), and published its first issue in July 2006. MBM was started by SimbaLion, who was Entertainment Coordinator of BLN forums at the time. He went through great efforts to get members involved in various aspects of the magazine, including the title, and choice of cover art, etc. Members were given a set of Guidelines and a deadline for submitting written works. Once members' contributions had been recieved, a PDF was created, and published on a subdomain of BLN. Unlike the 'members only' format of the forums, the magazine was made available to all, without needing to register on the website. <br />
<br />
SimbaLion organized the first 3 issues. The first 2 PDF layouts were created by Cyborg, then Vanitas took over for issue #3. With great use of images and graphics, the PDFs created by Vanitas have the look and feel of a magazine that you might see in a store. Underdog took over organizing the magazine in late 2007, and put together issues #4 & 5. For issue #6, 420Guy took over the role of organizer. With Vanitas still in charge of PDF creation, 420Guy also organized issue #7. Issue #7 would prove to be the final magazine to be produced by the members of BLN.<br />
<br />
After BLN was shut down, 420Guy decided to finish the 8th issue, and keep all the past PDFs online. With help from fellow BLN refugees Ansset and Audric, Modern Boylover Magazine opened its' own website in early January 2010. The 8th issue was released in late March, is dedicated to "LostBoy and the members of Boylover.net", and features articles from past issues, as well as new work.<br />
<br />
MBM continues to publish new issues through its website. Anyone can write or help with the magazine, you do not need to register anywhere. Various BL Forums have joined the efforts. Each forum involved has a representative, who acts as a co-Organizer.<br />

<br />
==HISTORY==<br />
<br />
Modern Boylover Magazine began on Boylover.net (2002-2009), and published its first issue in July 2006. MBM was started by SimbaLion, who was Entertainment Coordinator of [[ BoyLover.net|BLNs']] forums at the time. He went through great efforts to get members involved in various aspects of the magazine, including the title, and choice of cover art, etc. Members were given a set of Guidelines and a deadline for submitting written works. Once members' contributions had been recieved, a PDF was created, and published on a subdomain of BLN. Unlike the 'members only' format of the forums, the magazine was made available to all, without needing to register on the website. <br />
<br />
SimbaLion organized the first 3 issues. The first 2 PDF layouts were created by Cyborg, then Vanitas took over for issue #3. With great use of images and graphics, the PDFs created by Vanitas have the look and feel of a magazine that you might see in a store. Underdog took over organizing the magazine in late 2007, and put together issues #4 & 5. For issue #6, 420Guy took over the role of organizer. With Vanitas still in charge of PDF creation, 420Guy also organized issue #7. Issue #7 would prove to be the final magazine to be produced by the members of BLN.<br />
<br />
After BLN was shut down, 420Guy decided to finish the 8th issue, and keep all the past PDFs online. With help from fellow BLN refugees Ansset and Audric, Modern Boylover Magazine opened its' own website in early January 2010. The 8th issue was released in late March, with co-Owner Audric taking over most of the PDF designing. The issue is dedicated to "LostBoy and the members of Boylover.net", and features articles from past issues, as well as new work.<br />

'''Modern Boylover Magazine''' is an online Boylove Magazine which features various articles of interest to the Boylove community. The magazine is 100% volunteer driven, and is a free resource for boylovers and non-boylovers alike. It is currently written and published by members of various BL Forums, including BoyMoment.com, YoungCity.net, and Boylover.org. The magazine itself is run independently at modernblmag.net, where past issues can be viewed and downloaded.<br />

<br />
==HISTORY==<br />
<br />
Modern Boylover Magazine began on Boylover.net (2002-2009), and published its first issue in July 2006. MBM was started by SimbaLion, who was Entertainment Coordinator of [[ BoyLover.net|BLNs']] forums at the time. He went through great efforts to get members involved in various aspects of the magazine, including the title, and choice of cover art, etc. Members were given a set of Guidelines and a deadline for submitting written works. Once members' contributions had been recieved, a PDF was created, and published on a subdomain of BLN. Unlike the 'members only' format of the forums, the magazine was made available to all, without needing to register on the website. <br />
<br />
SimbaLion organized the first 3 issues. The first 2 PDF layouts were created by Cyborg, then Vanitas took over for issue #3. With great use of images and graphics, the PDFs created by Vanitas have the look and feel of a magazine that you might see in a store. Underdog took over organizing the magazine in late 2007, and put together issues #4 & 5. For issue #6, 420Guy took over the role of organizer. With Vanitas still in charge of PDF creation, 420Guy also organized issue #7. Issue #7 would prove to be the final magazine to be produced by the members of BLN.<br />
<br />
After BLN was shut down, 420Guy decided to finish the 8th issue, and keep all the past PDFs online. With help from fellow BLN refugees Ansset and Audric, Modern Boylover Magazine opened its' own website in early January 2010. The 8th issue was released in late March, with co-Owner Audric taking over most of the PDF designing. The issue is dedicated to "LostBoy and the members of Boylover.net", and features articles from past issues, as well as new work. <br />

<div>{{disputed}}<br />
'''BoyLover.net''', commonly abbreviated as '''BLN''' or '''bl.net''', was one of the world's largest online [[Boylove community|boylover communities]]. The site was created by LostBoy and launched on May 1, 2002. It was completely re-designed later that year and launched again on December 1, 2002. Within six months it had attained a membership of over 1200, rising to 3000 a year after the initial opening, and has long since passed the 20,000-member mark. The bulletin board closed down in 2010, after an investigation involving illegal activity of Lostboy, the board owner. At the time of it's closing it had over 70,000 members.<br />
<br />
In July 2003 BoyLover.net spawned a companion website, [[BoyLoverLinks.net]], which catalogs and presents a diverse collection of links of interest to boylovers.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
Though its main language is English, BoyLover.net hosts a large number of [[forum|forums]] in numerous languages through a uniform interface. Languages ranging from Swedish to Hungarian are represented in designated rooms, as are special topics like creative pursuits and games. A popular forum offers publication of private photographs of boys. The youth who participate had their own discussion room, in which adults are not allowed to participate. The youth-only room was later closed, primarily due to the amount of posers the room attracted. <br />
<br />
Discussion is served by the Ultimate Bulletin Board interface, which serves threads "flat" (i.e. without subthreads) and automatically brings recently discussed topics to the top of each index. Site design is heavily featured by large, illustrative photographs, strong use of bright colors, and a multitude of icons. Color scheme is occasionally transformed completely, in recognition of significant or tragic events, to a monochromatic theme. <br />
<br />
Members are categorized according to their post count, with a member starting as "New Kid" and eventually becoming "Elder Brother" at 5000 posts. While this makes it simple to tell oldtimers from newbies, it often leads to members posting playfully in order to increase their post count, and hence their status.<br />
<br />
Site management is highly organized, and a team of Buddies are responsible for welcoming and guiding new members of the community. Highly respected members may be named Mentors. To date only one member, Friend, has been named Mentor.<br />
<br />
The site also features a free online magazine called Modern Boylover Magazine which started in 2006.<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
BoyLover.net's rules and guidelines are intended to safeguard the site's legality according to [[United States]] law. A complex, three-tiered organization of nearly 100 volunteers serves users of the site and enforces site policy. <br />
<br />
According to site administrators, BoyLover.net's servers were recently seized by law enforcement authorities. The implications of this event (and whether the seizure actually took place) is in dispute. <br />
<br />
Site administrators have been criticized for taking a cavalier attitude toward security problems.<br />
Furthermore, some portals have warned against BoyLover.net on grounds that the site allows off-site image links, making [[IP harvesting]] relatively simple. Due to this, visitors are advised to turn off images when loading BoyLover.net forums if they are worried about their surfing habits being analyzed by unknown and potentially hostile parties. <br />
<br />
==Mission statement==<br />
The following is taken from BoyLover.net's home page:<br />
<br />
:BoyLover.net provides a safe, supportive, and legal environment where boylovers, boys, and others interested in boylove can share thoughts, opinions, feelings, and experiences. Its forums are online meeting places where questions, advice, and debate take place freely in an atmosphere of comfort and mutual respect, and where educational material and information about boylove can be shared.<br />
<br />
==Webmaster arrested==<br />
After a three year long law enforcement investigation, Boylover.net webmaster was arrested in his native Netherlands, over a hundred board members were arrested by the police worldwide for being involved in off the board activities related to child sex. According to an USAToday article (link below), after initial contact on the discussion board members would use e-mail and other electronic channels to share child pornography images and videos.<br />
<br />
The board, which had up to 70.000 members with only a few of them allegedly taking part in illegal activities, ceased to exist in 2010.<br />
