Welcome to the B L Lounge!

The Lounge is, you guessed it, a place of yaoi for fans and their friends, and all alternative lifestyles. Come on in, have a snack, talk and make some new buddies. We welcome all the colors of the rainbow and every shade of grey, and while the lounge has always been geared towards yaoi and yuri, it's fine if you're not interested in either- we here at the lounge pride ourselves on being a friendly place for everyone, so we encourage you to talk to your heart's content about anything you want. And it doesn't stop here- Have a story to post? We have a section for that. Want to start up an RP, be it private or open to the general public? We have a section for that, too! Want to show off a piece of art you made yourself? You get the idea... We can't wait to meet you and see all the awesome things you'll bring to our little corner of the internet! In other words, whoever you are, come on in and just have fun! We don't bite until we get to know you better.


Still not sure? Confused? Scroll down to the second post, we'll try to help you out :)

More About the Lounge

History

The Lounge was founded by Zonkers, Suzu, RainingKnote, and Geezer (no matter how much he tries to downplay his presence) on an avatar-based forum website called Crysandrea back in 2012. We were a hangout for anyone and everyone, yaoi lovers and otherwise, and had a lot of people who visited us regularly. We expected to be a humble little hangout where friends could hang out and catch up, but to our surprise, quickly found ourselves to be one of the fastest growing hangouts on the site. We held events, gave out prizes, played games, laughed and generally just had a grand old time. The Lounge came to be a place we all looked forward to visiting each day, and we didn't expect that to ever change.

Sadly, however, Crysandrea fell on hard times. Following a heavily-criticized update, the site announced that it would be going on hiatus for some time, but not to fret, as it would be back up before we knew it.

Crysandrea never returned.

The original B L Lounge had a grand total of 8,705 pages, and over 87,040 posts. Almost all of these were lost.

However, we refused to let our hangout die. We started our own site here, and today we strive to make the lounge everything it couldn't be on Crysandrea, and more. Things may not be the same as they were before, but we believe in recapturing the magic of the old days. As of this writing, the lounge is undergoing some very exciting updates and changes, and we can't wait to see what the future holds.

Welcome all to The B. L. Lounge.
To those who have come here from Crysandrea, you may be surprised to find me me with one of the introductory posts from the staff. While apparently a newcomer to The Lounge on Crysadrea, I was actually involved with the original B. L. Lounge since day one. However I did not plan on becoming a member of Crysandrea so my activity with the Lounge was kept behind the scene at an unofficial level. Since becoming a member of Crysandrea and more active in the operation of the original Lounge, to the preliminary planning some months ago and the building of this new Lounge, I have taken a place on staff as an active member in an attempt to demystify the whole, who is this guy and what is he doing here situation and to add some stability to the Lounge Staff as current staff members look toward new challenges in their lives. I hope everyone enjoys this new Lounge and gives it the support it deserves.

VIDEO:

Out In Nature:

Beginning with an explanation of science, citations from the bible, and Darwinian Theory, this film debunks previously held ideas about homosexuals by examining homosexuality in the animal kingdom. From fruit flies to dolphins, amazing footage from around the globe captures homosexuality in its natural state.

Most members head straight to The Lounge to meet their friends and catch up on the latest conversation but if you limit yourself to the main Lounge you are missing out on all The B. L. has to offer. We have art including original art from our member artists as well as animé and other arts found on the web, we have stories and a place to post music you want to share. Check the Something Different board for some music you probably have not heard before. I am certain you will find something you like and something you never heard before. You may also find something to make you ask, wtf? Check the blog section and have an Admin set up your own blog.

Kinsey Scale Test

I finally got to use one of my reserved spaces. I do not know why we never had this before but it needs to be on our first page where new members and visitors can find it. For my part I never knew this test existed until I found it mentioned online tonight however I am surprised none of our other members have found and posted it. So it is my honour to present a link to the Kinsey Scale Test which helps you determine your sexuality on a scale from heterosexual to homosexual. At the time of posting you can fins a copy of the test here.

I think I'd like to rewrite the intro in the first post again. I don't much care for it anymore.

Hi Suzu, no problem, let us know when it's ready. We are thinking about rebuilding the whole introduction anyways.

I think that's a good idea actually. It needs to be twice as awesome.
