Previously, our gallery, The Sauna, could only be visible if you registered for an account. The reason for this was to monitor registration and comments, as the site was getting bombarded with spammers and bots on a daily basis. But I'm happy to report that we've found a way to combat the issue.

Thanks to adding a tested and working "captcha" device to the gallery, we can now leave the doors open. What does that mean for you (and everyone else that visits The Sauna)? You can now have access to the non-adult gallery -and leave comments- without having to register for an account or log in. Simply visit the site and peruse the art. If you choose to comment, enter the security code and do so.

**Please note: If you already have an account, once you're logged in, you will not be asked to use captcha again unless you log out.

As for the NC-17 gallery, because these are adult images, visitors will still have to register and then mail an admin the following:

TBR/Sauna Username
(You must be a registered member of both)
Birth Year
E-mail Address

This information serves as a record that TBR did not knowingly give minors access to adult works. If you have already been given adult access, simply log in and visit the gallery.

Thanks, and if you have any questions, shoot us some mail. :D

Yaoi lovers!

As promised, for our first anniversary there is a new skin with new commissioned fanart! In fact, there will be two new skins! The first, a throwback to the 1930's gangster era, is called, "Luciano & Capone" which features InuYasha & Sesshomaru. The second, which has yet to be revealed is still a surprise, but I think you'll like it. :D

I want to thank the very talented artist, mariapalitos68, for drawing such awesome pics of our boys, and I'd like to thank neo_anime_haven for using her fantastic graphics arts skills to pull it all together in a wicked site header. Thank you, ladies, for sharing your wonderful artistry! <33

As a site, we're still growing, and to my delight, we're getting new members almost everyday. So slowly, but surely, TBR is gaining steam. The staff would like to thank everyone for joining and posting their stories, artwork, and reviews. The Boiler Room exists for the sole purpose of giving InuYasha Yaoi an home of its own and it will be there as long as you guys want to use it. ^_^

Cheers & Happy Anniversary!

Yaoi Lovers!

I'm happy to say that I have good news to report. First up, The Boiler Room is turning one! Yup, May 1st marks an entire year that the archive has been open, and while it's not brimming with fiction, we are steadily growing. Membership has boosted by 106 people since March 18th (We're now at 756), which is pretty darned good for such a quiet website. Hopefully that will continue and we'll see more fiction coming in.

To those that have posted their stories or art and left reviews, you guys are awesome. Thank you! The only way the site thrives and continues to be a place where IY Yaoi lovers can unite is by activity. So, again, thanks for coming on the ride.

To celebrate our anniversary, there will be a new skin and new custom art featuring InuYasha, Sesshomaru, Kouga, and Miroku. Hopefully you guys will enjoy it, so look for it on May 1st!

Cheers!

Members,

Due to a delay, our server upgrade was not completed last night. However, we are assured that it will be done tonight. So once again, the site will be shutting down for a few hours. From roughly 8:30pm EST until about 1am EST, The Boiler Room will be unavailable.

The reason why I'm closing the doors completely is to protect the authors' content. During server upgrades, it's possible (but unlikely) to lose recently posted reviews and chapters if they're uploaded while the maintenance is going on. Rather than risk that, I'm shutting down.

Questions? Ask them here, or use the contact link on the site.

Cheers!

TBR Members,

Due to a server upgrade, on Sunday, March 29th, from roughly 9pm until 12am The Boiler Room will be unavailable. The maintenance page will be up and you will not be able to view or submit any stories. When the site re-opens, members will able to go about their normal routines.

If anything changes, I'll announce it here.

Thanks,
InuGrrrl

TBR members!

I know it's been a while since I've updated the journal with news, but we really didn't have any, lol. TBR is still a bit quiet compared to other sites, but the membership is growing. We're now at 650, and we're getting more stories posted -all good things. So, thanks to everyone that have shared their fiction and art with us, as well as passing the site link along to their friends. We'd like to see more of it.

As for the site itself, I will be commissioning new fanart for the next skin. I'd like the new look to be available around May or June to coincide with a "summertime" theme, so bear with me. I'm known for keeping my websites "properly" dressed and I won't disappoint my yaoi lovers. 0.~

In the meantime, please continue to post your InuYasha fiction and art. The site was created for you, so take advantage of that with the knowledge that it is a safe haven. I don't stand for flames of any kind, nor is "lethal concrit" allowed. It doesn't help the author or artist, and therefore, doesn't belong on the site.

Happy artistry!

TBR Members!

This is just a post to check in and let everyone know we've hit a milestone. The Boiler Room has finally hit 500 members! How awesome is that? To celebrate, a new skin is in the works for both the fiction archive, and the Sauna gallery, so please be patient! :D Good stuff is on the way. And, as always, thanks for joining and sharing your works and presence with us. We enjoy having you guys aboard! ^_^

Members!

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and spent it with family and good friends. :)

This is just a quickie to thank all of the people that have been supporting and spreading the word about the site. Less than 2 weeks ago, we were 4 away from 300. Now, we're at 324 -a 28 member jump. How awesome is that? I need to entice people to post more, including myself, but I won't complain. As long as y'all are enjoying what's on the site and in the gallery thus far, it's all gravy. ^_^

Happy Holidays!

TBR Members,

This message will be short and sweet!

Now that I've finally got a handle on skinning, I decided to move this blog back to LJ where my other accounts are just to keep everything in one place. I'm pretty happy with this skin. It's simple and low maintenance. Yay.

As always, the site is quiet, but people have been joining, and even posting, which is cool. I also got some really neat e-mails thanking me for creating such a place. I just wish I was doing better by those people by advertising and pimping more. I have so much going on that I've just been really neglectful. Sorry. But we're 4 members away from 300, which isn't bad for being open since May with no real pimpage.

Anyway, I'll be switching the links and stuff to point back here on the site, and I'll be making a new skin for the place soon, so despite my neglect, I haven't let the place completely die. When things calm down, I may even promote in a serious way. Here's to hoping, lol.

Later!

Greetings Members!

First, let me take a moment to thank everyone that immediately jumped into the fray and joined The Boiler Room. We appreciate it much! We hope to gain steam in the upcoming weeks and get our share of disgustingly hot summer fiction. Who knows, maybe we'll even hold a few contests and crank out some delish banners and prizes. It's all up to you guys!

Second, we have fiction posted -woo hoo! The lovely jenerik_brand snowfall  spectralrabbit chanda3_4 and  the debonair drjmaxwell have been kind enough to grace the site with some yummy fiction, so make sure you read & review!!

And we have a new affiliate! ^_^ The lovely salomewilde  has graciously offered to affie with us, and she is a co-owner of iyhedonism a deliciously dirty comm that specializes in hentai (or did you figure that out? it's all in the name, ya know!), so if you're not a member, get your arse in there!

Cheers!

Well, it took a couple of weeks of planning and execution, but it's here. ^_^

The Boiler Room is the only public fiction archive on the net that features nothing but yaoi fiction centered around the anime/manga, InuYasha.

Like my website, Eternal Destiny, which is solely dedicated to InuYasha/Kagome fan-fiction, The Boiler Room is exclusive to IY yaoi and has an accompanying fanart gallery. The gallery is member exclusive, so only those that join TBR can post their work. And to protect those that should not be there to begin with, the NC-17 artwork is under lock and key. You'll need to contact an administrator with your TBR penname so that your profile can be checked for age.

Speaking of age...

Profiles will be equipped with a field for members to post their dates of birth. This field is MANDATORY. Why? Because TBR was created for those 17 years or older. Profiles will be checked with each new registration, so please, guys, fill them in if you decide to join the site.

Those that bypass that step will get their accounts locked until their DOB is e-mailed to an administrator, after which, the account will be unlocked and that member will be required to add their DOB to their profile.

A pain? Yes. But it's for everyone's protection. :)

This journal was created to keep members informed about the site and anything relevant. Members do NOT have to friend this weblog -simply check it out from time to time to keep yourselves informed. All entries will be public.

Enjoy the site!
