Quick Public Service Announcement: I’ll be away ‘till Tuesday so please be patient if you’re waiting for a mail or some other kind of reaction from me ;) And something else: Everyone who got deleted by Tumblr yesterday, mail me if you want a blog at milkboys. I know it won’t be as simple as with Tumblr but at least I won’t delete your blog.

We were pretty busy over the last weeks, so I’ll do a quick recap of some things that we did lately :)

Random picture to make this post less boring ;) Fount at pinkneptune

I’m excited to announce one of our new projects, more to come :)

We were talking in the milkchat tonight about how it would be nice to have a safe place for all the Gay Youth Bloggers out there to host their blogs. A place they can rely on and trust in, where they won’t get kicked for random reasons like it happens at services like Blogger. Since we have way more web space on the milboys server than we need… I thought we could just create such a place right here, right now! :D

Want to know more?

This way!

…is one of the phrases I really can’t stand. I know I should rant less if I don’t want to get every single reader pissed off lol. But seriously, what is wrong with some people? A boy with hair longer than an inch is what? A girl? Or filthy? Gimme a break. Could you people please forget your stupid prejudices you learned about “hippies” and “commies”? You don’t like longer hair? Fine. That doesn’t mean you have to assume everyone who does is scruffy and indecent. Fuck off my pond, will you?

I’m getting a bit tired of hearing uneducated wanna-be-moralists calling milkboys a "creepy pedo site". Get your facts right kids. Paedophilia is about kids under the age of 13 while this blog is about teenagers. It’s not my business if you think a site with pictures of teenage boys is creepy even if that site gets visited by a good amount of other teenage boys (and girls). But – at least – keep your stupid hypocrisy to yourself. You know, there is a world outside of your little Pleasantville .

A world where someone who is 17 isn’t called a child, where a picture of a clothed boy isn’t called porn, where rape of little boys isn’t the first thing that comes to your mind when you see a photo of a teenager, a world where people are not getting brainwashed by Nazi Christians to think people are child molesters if they think it should be OK to appreciate teenage boys if you guys are fine with getting off to the girls in High School Musical or that Gays should only love men who are looking like the Village People.  Maybe you should check your world view or just fuck the hell off.  kthx :)

it bugs me when youtube teens label anyone over 20 who subscribes to them as “pedos” or “pervs”. Get over yourselves guys, has it ever occurred to you that a person might find you creative and interesting? You’re not the walking sex machine you seem to think you are. – carl6855, in the comments

We show off the 10 most recent donations in the sidebar from now on to give the people who help us paying the server bill of $ 200 per month a bit more publicity :) You can decide which name we’ll use and if you want your name to be linked with a website (e.g. your blog). You can donate anonymously with tipit – leave your desired name and link in a comment with your donation.

Besides that I’d like to thank everyone who has donated and everyone who will donate! When we had to switch to our own server I was quite concerned if we will be able to pay the server but you guys are showing great support and it needs usually just a few days every month to get the money for the next bill together :) Thanks!

A while ago we placed a banner in the footer to earn some money for the bills of the milkboys server which costs $ 200 per month. The ad program shows apparently mostly straight porn ads. Considering this is a gay blog it’s no surprise that not many people are interested in such ads. So we get only an average of  $ 1,50 per day for the clicks on this banner. This means we have to pay more than 50% of the monthly costs with your donations.

Since I hate asking for your money we would like to try something new: We sell the ads on this blog by ourselves. This has some advantages over the current situation:

• You will most likely see ads which are really interesting (e.g. for other gay blogs and sites).
• We can chose if we want to use an ad (no more disgusting straight hardcore porn).
• We will probably earn more money so wee need less donations, maybe none at all.

Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!
