It was one of a handful of sites in the early World Wide Web that promoted a positive view of boylove. The boylover organization Free Spirits was named in honor of Kasper's innovative efforts. One of the early problems with Kasper's Free Spirits was that the web host (service provider) gave websites a "hit limit", once that limit was reached the site would then be locked out until the next day. As the site grew in popularity, it began to reach this limit earlier and earlier in the day.
On 29 December 1995, Kasper created an experimental message board on his site. The board, called BoyChat, was an immediate success. The logo read, "BoyChat, discussion of boys and what wondrous creatures they are". He soon passed the fledgling board on to Jongen for hosting elsewhere as the hit count limit was becoming an enormous problem as the site would frequently exceed the limit and be locked out within hours until the next day, as BoyChat gained in popularity. Kasper's Free Spirits continued to operate until August 1996 but BoyChat is still immensely popular today.
