'''Enchanted Island''' is a message board for boylovers, that includes discussion forums, polls, games, quizzes, a radio, and a Discord server. 



==History of the site==
[[File:CC6uwkl.jpg|thumb|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,

{{Quotation|{{Cquote|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."
