Digiweb&#039;s management explained that they would no longer be willing to host sites with boylove content, and gave all webmasters a deadline by which to remove their sites.<br /> <br /> This crisis was the impetus for the creation of the organization that later became the [[Free Spirits Committee]].<br /> <br /> The members of the [[BoyChat Steering Committee]] met the challenge and raised enough money to move [[BoyChat]], [[BoyLinks]], [[FPC]], and various other boards and pages to a more robust commercial server. In the process a spirit of activism overwhelmed the BoyChat community, and many projects, both public and private, were born.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Free Spirits]]</div>
