online message board
An online message board (also known as a forum) allows users to post messages that may be viewed by other users at their leisure. It differs from online chat in that messages stay visible for a longer period of time, often for months or indefinitely. (Confusingly, some call message boards chat boards.)
A message board may be password-protected to any of several levels. The most liberal boards allow posting to non-registered users. Others allow non-registered users to read posted messages, but require registration and login in order to post. The most restrictive disallow both posting and browsing to non-registered users. The latter group is considered a security risk by concerned boylovers because the appearance of a closed community may attract the attention of law enforcement or vigilantes.
Popular message boards in the online boylover community include BoyChat and BoyLover.net.
