			==Recent decision by the BoyChat administers to make older BoyChat posts inaccessible to the public==
			Sometime within the past few years, several tens-of-thousands (or even more) of posts made to BoyChat were arbitrarily made inaccessible to the public, apparently by an administrative decision made by the BoyChat administrators. This censorship of the posts means that a ''huge amount of the history of BoyChat is no longer available'', including an extremely large number of posts which had presented ''absolutely no personal security risk to the original posters.'' It is not known whether this censorship of BoyChat posts is new BoyChat policy, or is simply due to some form of incompetence on the part of the administrators of BoyChat, given that the majority of the censored posts presented no actual security risk to the posters who had made them. <ref>See "Thread-starter index of all BoyChat posts 2003 to January 2011." Attempting to access the posts linked to in the early part of the index leads to a "404" (File Not Found) error. https://www.boychat.org/mbc/messages/63900.htm </ref>

			Apparently sometime within the past few years, several tens-of-thousands (or even more) of posts made to BoyChat were arbitrarily deleted from the BoyChat server. This means that a huge amount of the history of BoyChat has been lost, perhaps forever.
