pixiesticks.org to turn 8 years old on March 11th.
Holy shit. Can you really believe it? I know I can’t. But it’s true. On March 11th, 2009, your favorite website for the preservation of young gay boys is turning eight years old!
While much has changed, a few things remain the same.
Last year, I opened shotalicious.org as a place to post my yaoi and new enthusiasm for the shota sub-genre. It would serve as a lil’ brother website to this one and would provide a bit of comfort should our webhost decide to take it down. I’d still have this site up and running and not lose years of precious history.
In the last year, shotalicious.org’s reach and hits have skyrocketed. Nearly 10,000 people visit the site EVERY SINGLE DAY. That’s far and above the expectations I had for the site and I’m so happy that now with the addition of a tag-board and Facebook group, it seems a sense of community is finally forming there.
But what about pixiesticks? What about the site that’s been here for me and for young gay boys for the last 8 years?
I’m doing what I’ve always felt I needed to do. I post the news stories that I feel affect where my interests are. And I also continue to give my commentary on such events. There is also the posts that deal directly with my life and what is happening in it that many find compelling because it gives them another perspective of what they have going on themselves.
Pixiesticks.org has absolutely helped me live my life. And judging from the emails I’ve read, judging from the friendships I’ve formed, and the comments written here, I know that pixiesticks.org IS still one of the best gay blogs still around after EIGHT FUCKING YEARS!
So allow me to say, Happy Birthday to my own site. It’s amazing it’s lasted this long and I hope that we’ll be here for many more years to come.
Finally, because pixiesticks.org turns 8, shotalicious.org is turning 1. Awww, isn’t it so cute! Expect to find more of what you come there for throughout the month of March.
Thanks for all of your support in the past and your continued support in the future. I love you all.
