Boylandonline: Added an update to the history

<center>[[File:Blol.png]]</center>

'''Boyland''' (other names: Boylandonline, Boyland Online, BLOL) is an [[online message board]] for [[boylover]]s founded by Mark Baker in December 2006. It was hacked in August 2008 resulting in a loss of all user data<ref name="BLOL_2008_hack1">[https://web.archive.org/web/20080914030926/http://boylandonline.com:80/whathappend.html What Happened with BLOL.com (Internet Archive, 2008-09-03 @ 13:02:01)] Retrieved on April 23, 2018</ref><ref name="BLOL_2008_hack2">[https://web.archive.org/web/20080903130201/http://www.boylandonline.com:80/ BLOL.com (Internet Archive, 2008-09-14 @ 21:37:11)] Retrieved on April 24, 2018</ref>, and in 2011 it was forced to reset resulting in a second loss of data. In 2017, Boyland released a large board upgrade and made the old board a read-only archive only accessible to previously registered members.

The main board contains discussion forums for various subjects in English as well as French, Spanish and German, in addition to some image galleries. A chatbox (requires JavaScript) is also operational on the site homepage.

Boyland regularly makes efforts to ensure that it is safe, and informs members when new security problems that may affect them are discovered. The site operates using an SSL image proxy and secure link redirector, to preserve member privacy when dealing with external content or links. They also regularly communicate with the board owners of other message boards in order to share information about security to make sure one another's board is properly protected. This collaboration has already resulted in removing and reducing threats to the community.

Boyland is in active partnership with [[BoyPlanet|BoyPlanet.net]] and [https://www.boywiki.org/de/Jungs.wtf Jungs.wtf].

==History==

Boyland was founded by Mark Baker in 2007, who sadly passed on December 27, 2011. When Boyland first opened, the following text was overlayed on top of an image on their homepage: <ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070103213711/http://boylandonline.com:80/ BLOL.com (Internet archive, 2007-01-03 @ 21:37:11)] Retrieved on April 23, 2018</ref>

{{Quotation|{{Cquote|
Welcome... 
To a board that offers Friendship and Guidance. 
A board that offers a chat room, 3 galleries, an arcade and much more... 
Welcome to... 
BoyLand
}}}}

On August 18, 2008, Boyland was hacked. All user info was lost and the board databases crashed. The IP addresses of users were not compromised, and all past users had to re-register at Boyland in order to continue participating. An announcement regarding this was posted on the Boyland homepage on September 3, 2008, after the board was rebuilt by staff.<ref name="BLOL_2008_hack1" /><ref name="BLOL_2008_hack2" />

Since 2011, Boyland 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 building a new board for Boyland in order to keep up to date with Internet standards and to ensure that user data was the most secure it could be. Prior to this was four weeks of careful planning and discussions amongst the administration and management team in order to determine which direction to go and what board software would be best suited to the needs of Boyland.

On December 19, 2017, Boyland administrators announced a fourth administrator joining them in maintaining and operating Boyland.

On December 22, 2017, Boyland 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.

On May 24, 2018, Boyland administrators updated the site-wide privacy policy in order to become more transparent in response to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) laws coming into effect across Europe. The content of the policy was not modified, but its wording was expanded on considerably.

On November 25, 2019, Boyland announced the resigning of one of its administrators.

On September 13, 2023, Boyland announced opening up new sections: [[Italiano]] (Italian) [[Danish]] (Denmark) [[Finnish]] (Finland) [[Icelandic]] (Iceland) [[Norwegian]] (Norway) [[Swedish]] (Sweden)

==Security and privacy==

Boyland 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. <ref>[https://boylandonline.com/privacy/ Boyland Privacy Policy] Retrieved on June 13, 2018</ref>

A note at the end of the Social Experience section of the Boyland 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. <ref>[https://boylandonline.com/guidelines/ Boyland Rules and Guidelines] Retrieved on April 23, 2018</ref>

A status checker for boylove resources hosted by Boyland lists various security-related features regarding site safety. In this, it is stated that Boyland 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, Boyland runs with an active SSL certificate and encryption.<ref>[https://boylandonline.com/status/ Boyland Status Checker] Retrieved on April 23, 2018</ref>

Boylandonline: Created all of it

blsafety.net is also known as "boyloversafety"

= Introduction =
The content of this site is tailored exclusively to persons interested in complying with the law, not for those interested in breaking it. If you suspect that you will find information here to help conceal illegal activity, you are sorely mistaken and should probably leave.

If you're finding yourself here, we're going to assume you are a boylover. This website serves one purpose: To advise you on some of the ways that you can avoid exposing yourself as a boylover. In other words, to make sure that you don't become subject to a system that assumes us guilty until proven innocent. This world is hostile, and it despises us. We deserve to get the support we need with peace of mind and with hope of a better day.

The Internet has become a beacon of necessity since its inception, and today it remains as pivotal as ever. Many use it in their daily life, and we're some of those people. Like every other rejected minority, we need to support ourselves by supporting others like us so we can function in "civilised" society. The Internet is our escape from a society that doesn't want us, and a way to express ourselves without the weight of their judgement on our shoulders.

Across the pages of this website you will find advice designed to help you keep your attraction to children becoming known to people you want to keep it from. It is advice, only. It is not absolute. Nothing here offers a fool-proof solution that will work in all situations. Your own actions can still expose you, even if you are follow our advice. You have to do some of your own critical analysis and make situational decisions.

= Questions =
The purpose of this site can appear confusing at first, as it addresses a number of things that may seem unrelated at times. This page will try to address some of that confusion in the form of a Q&A. It will also serve as a home to some questions submitted by site visitors. If you have any questions that haven't been answered, please contact us with your question and we may answer it here or in a response to you (if you provide contact information).

==== What is a boylover? ====
A boylover is a person with an emotional, and often physical, attraction to boys. Not all boylovers are paedophiles, as some boylovers are asexual while others have sexual attraction to pubescent and adolescent boys or for legal-age adults of either or both sexes. Some people attracted to children may prefer identify as a Minor-Attracted Person (MAP), Minor-Attracted Adult (MAA), or as any of nepiophile, paedophile, hebephile, or ephebophile (or any combination of those four), or as none of them. Read more here.

==== Can only boylovers use this site? ====
Not at all! Girllovers and childlovers are more than welcome to use the site and information found within. Just remember that the majority of the site's content assumes you're a boylover and will use terms based on this assumption. The actual advice given doesn't discriminate between BL, CL, or GL, as all advice applies the same to any of the three.

==== Aren't we being a little paranoid? ====
Everyone has their own levels of comfort when it comes to their privacy and personal safety. The advice given here intends to creating the highest level of these elements, not the most comfortable. You are not obligated to follow all pieces of advice given. It is up to you to decide what you are comfortable with and what pieces of advice you want to follow.

'''Disclaimer:''' BLSAFETY.NET is for entertainment and education purposes only. You shall indemify and hold harmless BLSAFETY.NET upon any access to the resource and agree that BLSAFETY.NET is not responsible nor liable for actions or events that occur in response to information found via BLSAFETY.NET.

==== Can you offer personalised or on-demand advice? ====
No, we cannot. We are not equipped nor trained to offer personalised or on-demand advice, and providing such advice could open a host of legal issues that we are unable to deal with.

==== Is this site related to the 2002-2004 boylove board BLSafetyNet? ====
No. While we acknowledge that we are using the same domain, we have no affiliation with the former boylove board or those who operated and used it. The only interaction users can have with this site is viewing content and sending messages to us via the contact form.

==== Why does this site look so old? ====
This site focuses primarily on content. Many modern "features" aren't necessary here and would only distract you from the site's content, so we felt no need to add them. This distraction-free approach prioritises the content and won't clutter the page up with useless things.

It's also faster because it's simpler and more compatible with a wider variety of devices.

==== Could you offer an accessibility version of the site? ====
No. This would require the use of cookies or persisting URL parameters, and this would constitute a form of tracking. We have made a commitment to visitor privacy, and feel the use of cookies or persisting URL parameters would violate this policy.

Some browsers offer a reader mode, which may have some accessibility-related options.

==== What does the hit counter do? ====
The hit counter measures the number of times a page has been loaded. More information, along with statistics for all pages across the site, can be found here.

==== What about the word counter? ====
This only counts the words visible in the page's main content area. This does not include anything from the header, navigation menu, footer, or the ''Last Modified'' line at the top of every page. The word count serves no functional purpose, it's just fun to know.

It can help give you an idea of how much content is on a given page and thus inform you on how much time it might take to read it.

==== Is anything here copyright protected? ====
Content that is hosted on the BLSAFETY.NET domain is free to use under the Creative Commons Zero licence. Please read our Disclaimer and CC0 pages for full details.

==== How is my privacy protected here? ====
Please read our Privacy Policy for answers to this question. A summary would do our commitment to member privacy an injustice.
