	Nevertheless, the newly active Jimf3 decided to set up his own domain to host boylover web pages, in tandem with Tygyr. They called it FPC Net, and offered free anonymous web space to boylovers, particularly ones who planned to address issues relating to history and politics. FPC was hosted by Digiweb, and started hosting pages in early April.		Nevertheless, the newly active Jimf3 decided to set up his own domain to host boylover web pages, in tandem with Tygyr.

	BoyChat in the aftermath of the tradj affair had become a more friendly place for boy posters. '''Criss''' was a lonely 13 year old looking for friends; he joined in January and soon found a group of regular supporters. He was completely aware of the purpose of the board, but was not interested in a relationship with a man, just in finding adults who would talk to him and not treat him condescendingly. '''Aptiva''' and '''Cyrix''' were a high school boy and a junior high boy who described their developing affair as regulars sat on the edge of their seats, in February and March. In May and June, '''Kyp''', a 16 year old boylover, described his sad separation from his young friend.		BoyChat in the aftermath of the tradj affair had become a more friendly place for boy posters.

He was completely aware of the purpose of the board, but was not interested in a relationship with a man, just in finding adults who would talk to him and not treat him condescendingly.

			Criss disappeared from the board abruptly in late February; it was only much later, in August of 1997 that Llewellyn posted the whole story of what had happened. [[Criss\|Everyone should read this story]], which says more about boys, boylovers and BoyChat's capacity for good than this entire history can say. Click on that link and then come back here.

			'''Aptiva''' and '''Cyrix''' were a high school boy and a junior high boy who described their developing affair as regulars sat on the edge of their seats, in February and March. In May and June, '''Kyp''', a 16 year old boylover, described his sad separation from his young friend.

	In the friendlier atmosphere of the spring, several old posters who had dropped out reappeared. '''Jimf3''' came back after a two-month absence. '''The Frog Prince''' came back after his spectacular self-implosion in January, and though he has changed nicks several times, has not been absent for more than a week since then. '''Songmaster''' returned as well, with the new nick '''TPFKAS''', and it has been one of the worst-kept secrets on the board that the two are the same poster (congratulations to all the music fans out there who can figure out what his new nick stands for). '''Little Prince''' reappeared in May after months in deep lurk mode, spreading his particularly earthy form of good cheer. '''Soaken''', the 15-year-old poster, came back in happier spirits, having met up with 17-year-old '''Mikey''' in real life and accepted himself as a boylover. Other old posters who reappeared included '''Ben, Dane''' (who appears to have left again after another debate on the sex issue), '''Hugger''', along with two of BoyChat's earliest posters, '''John''', now known as '''Camper''', and '''roo''', our resident mystic and sage, who after a several-month absence returned to enlighten and betwitch us with his verse-posts.
