Some of you might have noticed that Nibblebit — which was the hope of all the bloggers who saw their blogs getting deleted by Blogger/Blogspot, Tumblr and even SensualWriter – started to reject blogs with even G-rated pictures of teenagers. Here is what happened: Someone filed a complaint about a blog hosted at Nibblebit which contained child porn (while that can be a fully dressed 17 year old in a “suggestive pose” nowadays) with Nibblebit’s hosting company which caused the latter to suspend Nibblebit’s server affecting not only the blog in question but all blogs hosted by Nibblebit. Nibblebit switched to another hosting company and while they were not able to recover the data of the old blogs most bloggers there restarted their blogs just to find out that Nibblebit doesn’t allow them to run boy-related blogs anymore.

I’m not sure if that leaves Nibblebit with any blogs at all since pretty much all of them where blogs about boys in one way or another. But however, personally I won’t miss Nibblebit: The service was always full of annoying ads and I even read quite a few reports about people who got a virus through the obviously not so well checked ads there. The more interesting question here is where the now homeless bloggers will end up. At least the ones who are not silly enough to try to open such blogs at Blogger/Blogspot over and over again will have to find a new place to host their blogs eventually. Read on...

My son came home from school and asked why one of his friends had become a girl. I thought he was joking, but he kept asking – that’s when alarm bells began ringing. The pupil’s classmates were told he had left and that a new girl would be starting in his place this term. We have had to deal with the fall-out from all this. It’s not a situation I or other parents are comfortable with and we’ve not been given any help from the school about how to handle it. My son is too young to really understand the significance of what’s happening. It’s hard to explain to him. He doesn’t understand the differences between girls’ and boys’ bodies yet. I’m terrified he’ll ask me if he can become a girl as well.

Although the boys are doubtless on the fast track to a sex-change operation and hormonal treatment in order to turn them into girls, they must wait until they are legally an adult before any actual operation may take place in the UK which means German pop singer Kim Petras stays the youngest transgirl who underwent gender reassignment.

I got some angry messages lately because I didn’t reply to mails “within time”. I’d like to point out something related to this in general: contrary to popular belief I don’t do stuff related to milkboys 24/7. I do spend several hours a days doing different things for the blog(s), the forum, the chat and so on but I do this in my spare time and for free. Of course it’s a part of my life and most of the time it’s fun (I wouldn’t do it otherwise naturally) but, to be totally honest, it annoys me if people get demanding about it. I know most of you appreciate what you get without a doubt but there are quite a few people who seem to think I owe them what I do here and that they have a right to get whatever they ask for and as soon as possible of course.

Yes, I’m slow with responding to mails and yes, the blog posts were a bit boring lately. But I can’t do a thing about this at the moment. I have a lot of things to sort out right know about my life, my education and whatnot so the people who are whining because they don’t get what they want have to live with that, if they like it or not.

On a more positive note I’d like to thank all the people who help me keeping things running. The moderators in the forum and the chat, the active members of the community who take things into their hands by helping other members, making constructive suggestions & even starting their own projects related to milkboys and last but not least of course the donors who are kind enough to pay for the server. Everyone of you is a vital part of what we are building here, regardless of if you help with money, time or your energy. It’s your enthusiasm that animates milkboys!

And personally I’m happy that some of you even became great friends to me. It’s amazing to meet awesome people from so many places all over the world, might it be Holland, Scotland, Sweden, England, Australia, Japan or wherever else, you know who you are :) I know this applies not only to me, quite a few of you even found a loving boyfriend within the community and if that doesn’t make all the work worth it…

have a community photo since no one like posts without pictures :p

I don’t say you have to dump your address completely but at least for milkboys it won’t work anymore. If you don’t have a 2nd address you could sign up at Gmail. It offers 7 GB of space for your mails, 20 MB attachments (Yahoo wants money for that!), a better interface, it doesn’t put ads below your mails and you can import your mails and contacts from Yahoo.

That’s why we decided to upgrade the server once again. We’re on a Intel Xenon Quad Core CPU now, got 4 GB RAM, and, maybe most important for future projects, we can use 10,000 GB of bandwidth per month now. This gives us the chance to let the blog run smooth while we add new features and can post more videos ;o) We’re working on a lot of stuff including a complete re-design of the blog, a social network connecting the board and the blog and some other things I will announce later ;)  Besides that we can host more personal blogs for gay teens who don’t want to get kicked by Blogger and even give a few selected pictures blogger a safe home.

The downside is that we have to pay more for the server of course. The new hardware costs $ 280 per month (the old one was $ 200). So, if you feel like supporting our efforts: Donations are welcome :) Just contact me if you want to help out. Thanks!

I’m pretty sure he’s wearing leather trousers and loves this great TV station ;p
