<p>New page: {{Otheruses4|the picture archives by Acolyte|other uses|Free Spirits (disambiguation)}} &#039;&#039;&#039;Free Spirits&#039;&#039;&#039; was one of many archives of boy pictures on an FTP site started by <a href="/en/index.php?title=Acolyte&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Acolyte (page does not exist)">Acolyte</a> i...</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Otheruses4|the picture archives by Acolyte|other uses|Free Spirits (disambiguation)}}<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Free Spirits&#039;&#039;&#039; was one of many archives of boy pictures on an FTP site started by [[Acolyte]] in late 1994. While the rest of the site contained pictures of teenage celebrities from [[Usenet|alt.fan.teen-idols]], Free Spirits was the only archive not to feature stars. Rather, it had pictures of anonymous boys hanging out on beaches, pools, and so on.<br /> <br /> The pictures were &quot;perfectly innocent and legal&quot; (according to Alexis&#039;s History of BoyChat). At the same time they were a bold statement of [[boylove]] since they could not be interpreted as mere fandom, but only as love and admiration of boys, whether or not rich and famous.<br /> <br /> Sadly, questionable material that was uploaded to the site soon prompted Acolyte to take it down.<br /> <br /> ==Sources==<br /> * [http://www.fpc.net/sites/alexis/bchistory.html A History of BoyChat] by [[Alexis]]<br /> [[Category:Online history]]<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Acolyte Press]] may have inspired Acolyte&#039;s choice of [[nickname]]</div>
